It would cost. If we've learned anything during the Sarver era it's that he'll pay for talent on the floor but never in the front office.

Suns rookie guard Devin Booker might have left the University of Kentucky early but school remains in session.

Professor Watson is assigning summer reading to Booker. It sounds like Phil Jackson, who Watson admires, but he draws more from John Wooden, his sage “body-will-follow-the-mind” mentor while he played at UCLA.

Watson’s suggested reading is “Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender,” a book by psychiatrist and spiritual author Dr. David Hawkins that focus on way to releasing negativity.

Booker told Watson he did not read books often.

“He also said he was a great defender earlier in the year,” Watson said. “We know that wasn’t true.”

I can't wait until this idiot is gone. He's telling Booker to read a book about getting rid of negativity, and then in the next breath cracks a joke about his defense.

Haha. This seems like an article robot would make up. Watson won't be retained from everything I read...just a place holder.

Huh? Who has he passed on because he was too expensive on the FO? The problem with Sarver isn't money, it's decision making and the ability to meddle.

I have no doubt we reached out to Wright....I have a lot of doubt he expressed any interest.

Has he hired anyone with experience to any FO job?

Everything you read, meaning words, or everything you read, meaning actions/tone?

Little from Column A and little from Column B. The AZsports article comes to mind that says their has been minimal convo between him and the hire ups about saying. I just don't see it, but it's more of an opinion on my part I guess. Do you think he stay, Indy?

Saying we haven't hired anyone with experience vs saying we were outbid for someone is completely different.

Besides...Jay Wright doesn't have NBA experience, so how is that applicable to the conversation? If we hired him you could say the same thing. I'm not sticking up for Sarver either. He reminds me alot of The Dolphins owner (my fav football team) Stephen Ross, except I like Ross better because he leaves more to the Football guys. He just hires the wrong football guys.

Agreed they are different. But not ever trying to get the experienced FO guy tells me something.

I realize Wright is not an experienced NBA coach. There really are not many of them out there. But he does have plenty of experience coaching in a very competitive league. He has been working his way up the ranks for 30 years.
