Who?

Looks like this is the year I cash in on what's left of my childhood Suns fandom for a garbage team closer to me, the Sacramento Kings. At least they'll have a bomb new arena.

You will not convince me going from Hornacek go Watson is a net gain.

Wheels fell off for Jeff, and most of it had nothing to do with him. He was just the one left to manage the drama and the aftermath.

What's so strange is that the suns were the always relatively dependable good franchise in Phoenix with the Cardinals being the laughable perma-losers. So strange to see it flipped.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.

i'll just go with fuck asu.

Hell is that what the Suns are really trying to convince this fanbase?

Not in words, but when you fire one in his first and only bad season and hire another, it says you think the latter is a better choice than the former.

Which is laughable. No roster has had the turmoil as the Suns roster, save for a few, yet despite injuries, trades, youth, FA, the Suns competed for playoffs in first two seasons, then wheels fell off this year for reasons peripheral to coaching.

Also, why is management giving weight to the opinion of the players on one of the most losing teams in the league? It's not like LeBron is giving his feedback.

That's my question.

If my sales office sucked royal ass one year and it cost our manager his job, there's no way they'd be asking me who I think should take over.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

I'm wondering if McDonough is going from promising young executive to nice try, kid.

I don't think it matters who is running the team as long as Sarver is the owner.

For sure. But this is how promising young careers get set back. It thought he was in a good spot with the Celtics to wait for the right opportunity.
