  • All right.

  • I want to move on to the San Antonio Spurs.

  • Gregg Popovich and they face the Rockets last night.

  • They're looking to rebuild after missing the playoffs last season for the first time since the ice Age.

  • Zach, what do you think pops future is we had so much speculation he would go catch the Olympic team than the Olympics.

  • Of course, didn't happen.

  • So him just going off into the, you know sunset on Lee have that job.

  • Doesn't seem like quite the thing.

  • It was maybe a year ago.

  • What do you see there?

  • Well, I do think they have a lot of interesting young wings, which is the position you want to load up on in the N B.

  • A.

  • Lani Walker and Kelvin Johnson showed out in the bubble.

  • But look, the speculation is quieted, right?

  • I mean, Pops gonna have this job as long as he wants.

  • Maybe he likes his rebuild.

  • We've seen some of their most decorated assistance in the last 345 years.

  • People who are rumored to be maybe the heir apparent.

  • Go take jobs somewhere else.

  • And not only not always head coaching jobs.

  • Will Hardy, one of the most well regarded young assistant coaches in the league?

  • Another rumor name for the heir apparent spot got pretty deep in the Oklahoma City head coaching search this past fall.

  • So it's really kind of unclear who the successor is, how long Pop wants the job, but the heir apparent conversation has been one of the most buzzed about in the league for the last two years.

  • But you know what?

  • He's one of the greatest coaches of all time.

  • He's gonna keep on trucking as long as he wants.

  • I agree.

  • Look, we cannot have MBA basketball without the great Gregg Popovich.

  • I know he's up.

  • I know he's up in his seventies, but he's still a spring chicken.

  • He still moving around.

  • He still knows the game of basketball.

  • He's still able to adjust when need be.

  • And I think I think with Pop he looks forward to this every single day, getting up and going out there and coach.

  • He loves it more than anything on hey until Pop says he's done, which I don't think it's for another five years.

  • Let Pop do his thing.

  • Yes, I see you.

  • Producer Danny producer Steve out here with a smooth transition from one legend in the coaching game to another coach Pop.

  • He could do whatever he wants.

  • Third all time in the n B A.

  • In history with Winds as a coach talking about the record books.

  • Just keep going up and especially, you know, considering that I was just talking about coach Tara.

  • This man could sail into the sunset anytime.

  • He's already done everything he needs to do, and he's still serving.

  • And if you know him, that's a part of his core identity.

  • Eso Why not, you know, continue coaching and keep exploring how good the Spurs team can be.

  • And it's really fun as you get older.

  • You know, the cool thing is, you can experiment, and this young Spurs team gives him that ability with his ability to go smaller now these days and also play faster.

  • So it's a new age for the Spurs, but it's the same old coat.

  • Well, that that's a great point, too, by the way, because some of this is Look, I think the Spurs want Gregg Popovich around as long as he wants to stay around, There's no question about should we move him on.

  • The question is, how much longer is this still interesting to him?

  • How much is this?

  • Give him an opportunity to be intellectually curious.

  • How much does he want to do it with all the travel on the trekking around?

  • And today your point is great that this is a roster that maybe he could get his little coaching tentacles into, and we'll see what happens.
