    2012/13 Season would be a nice time for Pops to swoop on in. Anyone know if he could break that contract somehow?

    Would he have chosen Duncan or McGrady?

    2012? Are we going to keep things the same until then? I'm afraid this fan will be dead due to frustration with the status quo.

    Why would Pops want to go from undisputed boss, to taking orders from the guy who used to fetch his coffee?

    I understand why people want Pops - he is a tremendous coach - but it seems rather unrealistic.

    I thought the object of the game was winning championships? What better situation than this one to do it at?

    Let's not forget, Poppovich is the G.M. that made himself head coach. I doubt he's interested in stepping into a subordinate position at this point... Regardless of job titles, I'm pretty sure he runs things in San Antonio.

    Not the same situation. Duncan was a lock be selected 1st overall. Does Popovich really advise KP on draft selections? Seems to be a conflict of interest on his part. I'm not sure how involved he is in scouting players to begin with. At the time of the draft most GMs if not all had Oden #1 on their draft boards, but now that we've seen each player's limited body of work in the NBA I think Durant might have changed some minds.
