Um... what didn't you understand about "space for two max players"? They could re-load fairly quickly. But, Pop still may not want to wait.

ummmm. Tell me what two max players are going to go there and recreate the Spurs dynasty.

Why do I have to? The point is that they "could re-load fairly quickly." My evidence: two max slots available.

What's hard to understand?

I seem to remember - rather clearly - Popovich saying that he was probably going to retire when Duncan did and he does not seem like a ***********. No link, sorry.

lol.

ya....bro

could two max players make a difference to San Antonio's prospects?

Two weeks and 45 pages later and the Jazz haven't interviewed anyone yet. But Lindsey says they are busy Googling possible candidates. I'm still not sure about him.

Lindsey is busy trying to convince his wife that the kids are grown enough... so he can finally coach.

Lindsey is the next coach of the Utah Jazz.

Isn't that what Frank Layden pretty much did? Hire himself?

It sorta worked out. So, maybe you're on to something...

Biggest smokescreen ever. Lindsey has already decided who he's going to hire. And it will be Messina or Boylen. I'm guessing the former. I think that's the reason the Jazz have told Jensen, Jones and Bryant not to pack their bags. Messina likely brings over 1 top assistant and the rest of his staff will be guys with ties to DL.

I heard Bryant and Jensen had been retained, but jones is news to me. Where did you hear that?

Question: Has he been coaching for 54 years or is he 54 years old?


Answer: Messina may have been born to coach, but he wasn't born coaching. Another case where translation has tricked someone up. His age is 54, which means he has 24 years of professional experience, beginning in 1989 with Virtus Bologna.

Yep. He's 54. I should have posted my sarcasm emoticon

Core..I'm really hoping (and praying) you're wrong on this.

You'd rather it be Boylen?

 

[akirac73]

You'd rather it be Boylen?

Haha...I read that wrong. Yes I rather it be the latter...Messina for sure.

I hate, hate, hate, when people do this, but here goes anyway:


I have a family member who married into Dennis Haslam's family (no further details), and while Dennis obviously doesn't have any more ties to day-to-day Jazz business, he's still somewhat "in the know". Believe it, don't believe it, I don't really care but allegedly, Lindsay's top 3 choices are:

1- Messina
2- Messina
3- Messina

Lindsay absolutely COVETS him. The only way it doesn't happen is if somebody like the Lakers jump in and create a bidding war. The worst part of this rumor? If something falls through with Messina, Boylen is far and away Lindsay's preferred #2.

I totally forgot about Dennis Haslam. What happened to him? Where is he now?

You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice.

Wow great news, thanks. I can see any outsider coach to make the decision for the team he is going to run by waiting for the lottery so that he can see what he has in his hands.
