He got to the Finals and Conference without a "superstar"....that's more than many coaches can say they've accomplished

That's why I put superstar in quotes. A lot of dikkheads don't consider him one because he's not a chucker. I personally believe he's top 20 in the league at least.

I get it.. I'm just not paying 15 million a year for that. There's been a lot of coaches who do that and see themselves at the unemployment line that same season.. I guess locking down the price now before it balloons in 5 years is the move, but still.... Nah

Consecutive years with no huge drawing superstars tho? :ld:
He didn't do that either... They made the finals in the bubble... Next year was first round exit... Next year was conference finals... Last year he got back to the finals...

Jimmy Butler doesn't deserve the huge drawing nonsense... He's a superstar in this league...

Again... I'm not saying he's a bad coach... I'm saying Pop gets 16 million... Then there's Spo right under... I don't think he's the second best coach nor has the second best resume to be getting that... But Monty is 3 (which is also insane) and I see they trying to get a discount now.. It's just an outrageous number


I'm not into overpaying ANYONE... player or coach... Get it done or you ain't getting no max.. And usually it ends up being right

They haven't had a championship type roster since Bron left, coaching can only do so much

Yeah, I've seen so many people who seriously don't get this. Only one team can win a title every year, and there are clearly some teams that have rosters far better than others. The "hasn't won a title" is a silly critique unless there were years he should have won a title and blew it.

The most impressive thing about Spo is how he's steadily adjusted and improved. He doesn't get stuck in one way, he keeps working with the rosters he has and maximizing them.
