he couldn't help T-Mac when we had him, overrated, bye
i'm assuming that chip already knew this in advance (that a new deal could not be hammered out) if he had already put it out there that he would be leaving at the end of his contract.

They hired him from Denver, where he was....a shooting coach.
Don’t do it like that!!! Finish him!!!
To cheap to pay Chip
In the end Chip wasn't a culture fit.
I understand he was an AC. And he was a shooting consultant in Detroit before that. But wasn't the news around him coming to the Spurs was that he was hired solely to focus on shooting development, regardless of what he was called.
this is never going to die.
We hired him away from Denver, not Detroit, and he was a shooting coach there. We broke no new ground hiring him.
Maybe OKC offered him a crazy offer. If I was an owner with a rebuilding team I wouldn't spend big money on a shooting coach either tbh.
That's exactly when you'd want a shooting coach like Chip, when your roster is young players you need to turn into NBA level shooters.
And what does it really mean? That the team didn't want to raise his already high salary?
And before you write "that you had to match the offer for the best shooting coach", where did you get that? Can you name 10 other shooting coaches without Google?
Just another bout of overreaction on the forum.
If OKC made him an offer he couldn't refuse I wouldn't beat it or match it. Why hold him hostage and pay more than market value when the team is going to be lottery bound for the foreseeable future?
And you, poor devils, are just forcibly forced to go to the stadium, chained to a chair and not allowed to close your eyes, like Alex from "A clockwork range".
for the record, the spurs offer the 5th most affordable tickets in the NBA. they may be 'cheap', but tickets are affordable.
I think Chip's impact is overstated and pretty overrated tbh. We can point at Kawhi but given we know he is a robot I'm sure most of that was due to his own practice and training. Who else has Chip turned into a great shooter since then? Keldon shot well from three his rookie season, don't recall anyone whose shot significantly got better really since Kawhi tbh. I think the impact of a shooting coach is minimal to the team's effectiveness at best
If Chip is moving onto an assistant's role and because he couldn't agree to terms with the Spurs after working for ages...something must be rotten in what was always held as basketball paradise. Wonder what?
You can add Keldon in there. On his rookie year, I cringed as he hauled 3 pointers almost touching the ceiling but now Spurs highest 3pt knocker.
Fck em we got Brett Brown back lol
Dejounte's shot improved significantly, but like you said...it's hard to gauge how much of that is because of Chip and how much was just DJ putting up shots in the gym
Apparently still couldn't teach Poeltl how to shoot a goddamn free throw
The point is to develop the young guys they pick so they're not lottery bound for fifteen years like Sacramento.
Wondering if we got some Jim Buss level incompetency in the ownership now
Except he shot 59% from 3 in his rookie season. small sample size I know but my point was its not like KJ was a bad shooter so we don't really know if Chip impacted keldon at all
Haha he probably got paid better away probs not that deep. It happens. Chip or no chip we are still a dumpster fire.
It’s good we don’t have to stomach posts about Chip changing Jak into Jokic and Simmons into Steph any longer.
