    @TheSteinLine The strong expectation, league sources say, is that that the Spurs will name Mitch Johnson as Pop’s full-time coaching replacement.

    I wonder if Pop's transition to "full-time Team President" is mostly or all symbolic.

    The dream would be that he actually runs the spurs but my guess is he's just getting paid a ton to do nothing.

    Well, all good runs must come to an end. He's fortunate to be able to work at all after what happened.

    He’s been the chosen successor to Pop for 3 years and his trial run went well enough. There is no surprise to this at all.

    I remember when he fired Bob Hill and took his place as coach and I thought "boy, this guy is in over his head." lol

    I bet Wemby wishes now he was with the only coach like Popovich now, Udoka.

    Every team has a Spurs guy, the Rox have Sudoku, the Thunder have Prestige. Boston has Derrick White.
