Popovich Gave Brown Advice About Coaching Contract
(Sixers Coach Brett) Brown knew the unspeakable was possible when he took the job. So did Popovich. In the summer of 2013, when the 76ers offered Brown a three-year contract, Brown went to Popovich for advice.
Popovich told him: Don’t accept anything less than four years.
Brown is stuck in coaching hell, repeating last season’s lottery dive. Brown works without talent, veterans and a practice facility.
For Brown, as competitive as Popovich, it has been a grind. But Brown has remained optimistic, and he’s just as optimistic that the franchise’s general manager, Sam Hinkie, is invested in him.
“I love L.A. I also love my wife, by the way, but I love L.A. and I don’t want there to be any mistake about it. We want to be part of the fabric of this community,” said [Steve] Ballmer, who stepped down as Microsoft’s CEO early in 2014, shortly before he rescued the Clippers from the clutches of disgraced Donald Sterling and bought the franchise for $2 billion.
“We’re moving to Inglewood come hell or high water,” he said of a proposed arena near the site of the stadium being constructed for the Rams and Chargers. “We gotta have a house. So we’re working on a plan to get our own house. We want to get our own house. It turns out the way this works in L.A., which is much beloved to me, that if you start now you might be done in six years.” He then urged fans to contact their Assembly representative and state senator to urge approval of legislation that would accelerate the process. He probably inspired more than a few emails and phone calls.
