NBA free agency officially kicked off at 12.00 am, July 1st and many teams, players and agents began to move quickly trying to get deals done.  Veteran San Santonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich however had a different idea.

“I’m not calling anyone at midnight,” Popovich told the San Antonio Express-News. “I’ll be in bed. And if that’s the difference in someone coming or not coming, then I don’t want them.”

The Spurs big free agent target is LaMarcus Aldridge but he didn’t receive any late night wooing from the infamous coach.  Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are reportedly on the case.

As for Kawhi Leonard, Coach Pop doesn’t have to lose any sleep over him since the Spurs quickly locked him up on five-year, $90 million contract extension.
