People argue that its not Melo fault but then you see stuff like this saying he wanted special treatment. "A conversion " yeah it's so hard. Tell that to a kid trying to make the team. A fucking bitch that makes 25 mill wants a conversion. So damn corny. We need talent but we don't need pre Madonna fuck boys that think they are bigger than the team. A players individual goals and brand shouldn't be above the team. Fuck this guy.
which of phils trades were you impress by?
look dude, phil fcked up, he handle the sht horrible wrong, here's why you have a talk with your star playerLaMarcus Aldridge was unhappy with the Spurs the past two seasons and Gregg Popovich understood why.
Their heart-to-heart talk has made basketball life much easier for Aldridge, and his comfort was apparent in the season opener.Aldridge had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and San Antonio held on for a 107-99 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night while playing without leading scorer Kawhi Leonard.
"He just didn't feel comfortable and it's 98.75 percent on me," Popovich said of Aldridge's struggles. "I tried to change him, I tried to make him a different player and I think that really affected his ability to feel comfortable and confident on the court. And we took care of that, basically by me letting him know that we're going to do it differently."
San Antonio needs Aldridge to feel at ease with the team missing Leonard and Tony Parker to injuries. Even without them, the Spurs had enough to hold off the revamped Timberwolves.This is the way you do business, not throw your players under the bus via the media(aldridge would be better playing somewhere else) and twitter
Aldridge played like crap since he's been in san an, is pop catering?
Phil should have got off his soap box, and coach for a yr to show melo, fisher or JH, how he truly wanted his triangle to be played..
that entire ordeal was as embarrassing as the larry and steph drama, MDA and Marbury, Ewing and Layden, this franchise as a history of bad PR
S.A isn't NY.
They tried to trade LMA during the draft but found no takers. In NY with Pop being the coach with his track record and LMA having to replace Duncan. LMA probably would have been buried by NY media. Then again Pop is a dick to the media and gets away with it because he wins. So don't know if NY media would be chomping at the bit to tear him down. Or feel it would hurt their credibility to do so and tear into LMA instead.
Either way any drama that goes on there is limited attention drawn to it in S.A. In NY every single day there would be pot stewing questions asked and comments made looking to create material and intensify the drama.

I am quite sure a class A dick like Pop would not have built the track record he has in NY. He would never have lasted long enough here. Media here only gives you a break as long as the confetti is still flying. Once it settles, the love is gone and it's the same old what have you done in the past minute meat grinder time again.
Phil could not physically coach here. Watching him sit in a chair was painful enough. If he could have come here and been the Knicks Everything Pat Riley, maybe things would have been different. Maybe Phil knew coaching here would just tarnish his rings. We will never know.
The record here shows Phil's management style suhucks. Some great players can't really coach. Actually, what truly great players ever were really great coaches? Russ played while coaching, and sucked when not playing. Willis sucked. Lenny Wilkens managed to win one chip in all those years.
Maybe truly great coaches suhuck at management. A new generalization is born.

Not to mention owners. Forget I mentioned it.
Anyway, my point was about quality of track record, not longevity of incompetents who haven't been anywhere near the dick-level of Pop. He is truly historic in the way he treats the media. Which is why I sort of like him.

When you stay off Melo, you actually make sense Einstein.
