Royal Ivey is my preferred candidate.

Me too based on name alone. Will have to research these candidates.

Reasons why?

Jones is an advisor…he’s not actually in the front office…he’s gone as soon as he finds another job

Maybe. We'll see. Sounds like a cushy job to me still with some influence.

Fucking clown show

This is the kind of immediate reaction I expect from the TikTok generation.

Optics aren't great here obviously and it's at least concerning heading into a pretty important offseason. And getting rid of Jones, who at least had proper connections and relationships around the league...You'd have to think Bartelstein will be at least as involved in basketball matters as before ...

More nepotistic bullshit. Ishbia hiring his friends from Michigan again. Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with him as owner at this point. We're well on track to be a shitty franchise for the next decade. I hope Seattle gets an NBA team soon.

Wow, holy jump to conclusions, Batman!

I read we hired him June 10th, the draft was June 26th…that doesn’t seem like a lot of time to make the draft decision.

Even better. Decisive, quick decision maker.

I’ll wait and see, but I’m not exactly optimistic about this hire. 1 season in the nba and now he’s the GM? I want to know what he did that was so impressive…didn’t do that much for the team seeing as we sucked

He's good friends with Ishbia. How is that not enough for you?!

Suns promote Brian Gregory to GM, James Jones reassigned https://arizonasports.com/nba/phoenix-suns/gm-brian-gregory/3582392/ Gregory was hired by Phoenix as the new vice president of player programming last June, a part of the new front office hires that included assistant general manager Matt ...

18 years between head coaching jobs would have to be some sort of record, no?

Wow, can't believe it's been this long.

He might seem less obvious than the other names but JVG would be my pick. Just don't think it's realistic. https://x.com/StephNoh/status/1914305378193494116 JVG hasn't been a HC since 2007 and that's who you want to hire? Why? Did the last 2 old retreads not make you suffer enough? I like JVG but I ...

Can't say I'm confident.

I'll give him a chance. Going to hold off opinion until I see what affect he has.

Nooo…I can’t be put in the position of having to decide whether to cheer for the Lakers! Something tells me you'd become a pretty huge Laker fan if that happened. :-) I actually think that would be the worst thing for him. LA would chew him up and spit him out. His imperfections would be on full dis ...

Ant man walking around LA like he owns the place. And favorite movie, Matilda. LMAO.

For some reason I keep thinking DA will end up in a Lakers uni.

Nooo…I can’t be put in the position of having to decide whether to cheer for the Lakers!

OK, now I want to see it.

Wolves would be really scary if they had a bit more shooting. As it is I don't think they can beat the best of the league such as OKC, BOS, CLE. They have a lot going for them, though: talent, athleticism, scoring, defense, rebounding, shot-blocking, star power, toughness. I think they're my #2 ...

Aw, poor Lakers with their gifted Doncic bounced in the first round. That's really too bad.
