Rumor that Quin could replace Popovich when he retires

[Jingled]

Is this photo from NY?



I always thought Stotts looked like he could be Joe’s dad. Funny that we trade Joe to Portland and immediately start hanging around with Stotts. Maybe it’s about balance in the universe.

Also I’d be curious what Ben means by “traveling with” the Jazz, if it means anything at all. He’s wearing a backpack and is by a bus.

Yes, that pic was taken outside the team bus in NY.

Has anyone said what is going on here? If it was just a couple week consulting gig like Thibideau did then you think they'd just say it. If he is here to be a Quin replacement it is odd to have him around now.

Haven't heard anything from any of the beat writers or Locke, or anyone really. Like you said, if he's a potential Quin replacement then it's really strange to have him around while Quin is still coaching the team.

I’m praying this is because the FO, Quin, and Ryan all read my off-season splash thread about Quin hiring a vet.

Would be hilarious especially because we have picked up our play recently. I think there is some smoke to the rumors of Quin in either SA or LA. Hopefully if it goes down we can get some compensation... think he has a year left... maybe more. I like Stotts as an addition either way.

If Quin presumably wanted to leave here because Ainge is top dog, wonder how he’d like being a CINO in LA.

I think its most likely SA. I wouldn't be completely shocked if all the key individuals and organizations have an understanding of it happening... it would be weird but I could see it I guess.

If he did, it would be an interesting repeat of DL where post hoc all media will be “oh yeah, he was totally checked out and everyone knew this” but would provide cover (intentional or otherwise [mostly otherwise]) in the midst of it.

If he goes to Lakers it will be because they gave him an outrageous contract he could not refuse

They are actually kind of frugal... especially for the market.


Anyone know Quins contract details? I think we could also extract something from the acquirer since he is under contract for another year or two.

Part of this might be Quin negotiating in the media. Get a big extension to keep away all these teams frothing out they mouf for him. Danny may also not be the biggest fan so maybe he sees more security elsewhere.

Would also be funny to see some guys pivot from "Quin is a top 5 coach and they won't get anyone better" to "Quin couldn't get it done and had really stagnated so they brought a guy in with X experience".
