SAN ANTONIO -- Wearing a black shirt emblazoned with a picture of Tim Duncan with a caption underneath reading Impossible Is Potential, San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich waxed poetic for 15 minutes Tuesday about the retirement of arguably the greatest power forward to ever play the game, and plans to make a pitch to Duncan to keep him working with the organization in some capacity in the future.Duncan announced his retirement on Monday, but wasnt present for Tuesdays news conference.Its not a show of humility in any sense or form. People who grew up with me know me, Popovich explained. I would not be standing here if it wasnt for Tim Duncan. Id be in the Budweiser League someplace in America, fat and still trying to play basketball or coach basketball. But hes why Im standing. Hes made livings for hundreds of us, staff and coaches, over the years and never said a word, just came to work every day. Came early, stayed late, was there for every single person, from the top of the roster to the bottom of the roster, because thats who he was, in all those respects.Sources told ESPNs Marc Stein that the Spurs officially waived Duncan on Monday for salary-cap reasons. While the move was a mere formality, the club needed to do it to waive and stretch Duncans $6.4 million salary for the 2016-17 season so that its spread out over three seasons instead of one, which lessens the cap hit the team will take.Duncan exercised his player option for the upcoming season before the June 29 deadline, which means hell receive his full salary for the upcoming season despite retiring. Consider it a parting gift for Duncan, who gave so much for the NBA, the city of San Antonio and the Spurs organization.Hes irreplaceable. It cant happen, Popovich said. Were all unique. I guess each one of us is unique. But hes been so important to so many people, its just mind boggling. To think that hes going to be gone makes it really difficult to imagine walking into practice, going to a game, getting on the bus, taking him a piece of carrot cake -- whatever it might be.You dont see Timmy beating his chest as if he was the first human being to dunk the basketball, as a lot of people do these days. Hes not pointing to the sky. Hes not glamming to the cameras. He just plays, and weve seen it for so long its become almost mundane. But its so special that it has to be remembered.Popovich said Duncan is too smart to try his hand at coaching in retirement, but he plans to reach out to the former Spur to keep him involved in some capacity.I dont think were going to see Timmy going up and down the sidelines much, Popovich said. But I have a notion he will at least listen to being involved, somehow or other, maybe even on a part-time basis. Im certainly going to hit with everything I have to keep him around here as long as I possibly can because he means that much to everyone in the organization.

The Toffees have been attempting to bring in Monchi - real name Ramon Rodriguez Verdejo - in a similar role to the one he has been performing at the Spanish club.However, it appears he is staying with Sevilla - according to Sky sources - and, that even if he left, a release clause of around £3.8m would have to be met. It is thought the recruitment of Monchi would be key in persuading Sevilla coach Unai Emery to take over from Roberto Martinez as Everton manager.Monchi, who has also been linked with Manchester United, has earned a reputation as one of the most successful sporting directors in the world over the past decade and has helped Sevilla make a profit of over £150m during his time in charge, while still delivering silverware.He spotted Dani Alves early in his career and signed him for 500,000 euros (£386,000).

However, Sevilla expect Monchi to honour his contract at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium - his current deal runs until 2020 - so it may be some time before they are working in the Premier League.
