The NBA playoffs continue this season, while more teams have started their offseason strategies and are about to prepare for next season.
The Spurs are finally going to have a conclusion, and they are moving towards a new era.
According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Popovich will no longer serve as the head coach of the Spurs, but will become the Spurs' operational president.
Unknown to me, Popovich is already 76 years old. He has been the head coach of the Spurs since 1996 and has been around for almost 30 years, which is rare in the history of world basketball.
But to be honest, a professional team not only needs to change players, but also needs to change coaches. If a person works in the same position for too long, it will form an information cocoon, which is objectively not conducive to the team's style and record breakthrough, and may affect the team's speed of keeping up with the changes in the times.
In addition, Popovich's physical condition is not as good as that year. He suffered a slight stroke on November 2 last year and has not made a comeback this season. Assistant coach Mickey Johnson serves as interim head coach.
This incident made Popovich realize that his body really cannot withstand the intensity of the NBA coach's position, and it is time to give way.
Mickey Johnson's rise was not the Spurs' decision to slap their heads. This person has been inspected by the team for a full 10 years, and the Spurs' management has extremely high support for Mickey.
Today, the Spurs officially announced the news of the change of coaches, and many people expressed their gratitude, such as Spurs' boss Holt, NBA president Xiao Hua, Wenban Yama, Warriors coach Kerr and Rockets coach Uduka, they can all be regarded as Popovich's apprentices.
Since the head coach has changed, it is time for the Spurs to move into a new era. They have traded to get Fox this season, but that is not enough. Perhaps Antetokounmpo will be their next goal.
The Bucks have been eliminated 4-1 by the Pacers, ending this season's journey. Antetokounmpo did not publicly respond to his stay or leave, but met and discussed with the Bucks management.
If Antetokounmpo wants to leave and the Bucks are eager to rebuild, the Spurs are indeed a good next home, with many high picks, good young players and a healthy salary structure.
Wenban Yama + Antetokounmpo + Fox, I’m so excited to think about it!
