    Grainy footage in black and white or your source doesn't exist. I'll trust the consensus and Damian Lillard's experience with her before your anonymous source.

    The GM that drafted Ayton, Booker and Bridges is unemployed.

    If she’s not the best candidate, she’ll be the choice

    Bridges and Booker yes. But passing on a legend like Luka is not something to just dismiss.

    And let's not forget this was a perennial lotto team til Paul got there, a move James Jones made.

    My person said it’s been Billups from the beginning for Neil. We will see. Interesting info on Hammon

    No you’re right they have been to the playoffs in 11 years. This city couldn’t handle that.

    Where is this info coming from?

    And what inside information do you have from the Spurs that apparently radically differs from public statements?

    If she had the rep amongst the org I doubt she’d even be on a supposed short list! I find all that hard to believe the Spurs wouldn't put ip with it.

    No more like bullshit. I profoundly distrust those who claim to have secret unsourced information no one else knows.

    I understand any and all questions or doubt and tbh don’t actually care. Just thought I’d share. Clearly I would not say where I got this. She’s the golden child outside the org. Not inside.

    You sound sensitive about it. Why?

    I'm not saying I believe what Calvin Natt is saying (I have no opinion), but if you're the Spurs and you aren't necessarily happy with her performance AND you feel that firing her would be a PR nightmare, her finding a job elsewhere is a win win for you.

    You get rid of an employee you feel isn't working out AND don't run the risk of coming off bad by firing her.
