Ryan out as GM

Post by Indy »

Wow. Expected this at the end of the season, not at the end of pre-season.

I mean for the love of God, 10 days before the season? What are we doing?

Next headline will read: "Suns make panic trade for point guard."

Good f-ckin riddance. But typical of Sarver to do this preseason because that's always healthy for an organization.

And WTF is McHale going to do in a front office role? Why not bring in a veteran exec respected around the league who knows the CBA and has connections to make trades?

If my choices are McHale or almost anyone, I am going with almost anyone.

Not a great sign, based on his basketball prowess...

Really odd timing. There must be an interesting behind-the-scenes story. I hope we find out what it is.

I assume that Jones will be the GM by the start of the season.

Sarver isn't a good basketball mind, and also doesn't understand what would be good for team morale and stability?

Yeah. that was the first thing that came to mind. Who fires their GM as the season starts? Has that happened before (I am sure it has at some point, but really?)?

The Knicks did it a few years ago firing Grunwald and hiring Steve Mills. So at least we're in good company.

I'd prefer James Jones over McHale. Please, please no to McHale.

Seems really strange that McD would be allowed to build the team all summer and get fired now. Is it just because he hasn't gotten a PG? Sarver must not be very happy with how we've played preseason. Going to be real interesting what the new GM does. James Jones has had some influence with recent additions, so if it's him, we might not see too many changes.

Weird timing, but by no means am I upset. McD was fairly questionable in his time here. Don't know if I'm ready to make Jones the GM yet. Would like a more experienced hand. David Griffin comes to mind as an option.

Wow...So why was he canned?

I mean, not saying his decisions didn't warrant this but why do it now?

Guess Mike James wasn't a fan of McD
