Re: Phoenix Suns 2025-2026 Coaching Search

Somebody that I don't think anybody has brought up is Eddie Johnson. There have been many times while listening to him during games that I thought "Well if you know so much then go down there and coach them!" We all know he was a defensive stalwart. I'm pretty sure his motto is "Do as I say, not as ...

Re: The Phoenix Suns promote Brian Gregory to General Manager

Senior advisor is just a nice name for being put on administrative leave before you just disappear (officially fired).

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

Thanks guys! I've been wondering about that for a while. And of course our nightmare becomes if the pick does become #1 unless we get it back before the lottery.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

If the following trades were our options for KD, what do you take? Houston for Jalen Green/Jabari Smith Jr/9th pick/2027 1st NYK for OG Anunoby/Mitchell Robinson Minny for Randle/Divencenzo/Dillingham/17th pick(via Det). Keep him Houston is first choice. Keep him is the second. As far as this year ...

Trading for Marcus Smart, who I like a lot but don't want, would be the exact surface level move Ishbia would make to show he's serious about getting toughness, defense and grit.
Does he have a less-talented brother by chance? Maxwell Smart??
A less smart Smart?

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

If Brooks didn't have have prime MJ confidence on offense he'd be a pretty valuable player, but we cannot have that bum on this roster. Also, where is Marcus Smart nowadays? Seems like he could run the PG spot with Booker. Patrick Beverly maybe? Edit: And CP3 as coach Beverly doesn't offer any ...

Re: Mike Budenholzer Fired

I would be ok with either Hammond (experience on the bench) or Taurasi (Phoenix ties). Both are winners and driven.

If the trade for the pick on draft day for Curry had gone through. I think that was when Kerr was Suns Coach/GM

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

I'm just wondering. Depending on the coach we end up with would you be willing to have KD stay with the team as long a we could find a home for Beal? Obviously there will be other moves made but could a Booker/Durant team still work? Or are those bridges burned?

Ayton over Doncic? Yea... That was a tough one but it's hard to not look back and see our infatuation with finally get a franchise big man(child) and where our depth chart was with the roster. It just made sense at the time. He was not the GM. Sorry... I was just stating in regards to the pick ...

Re: Mike Budenholzer Fired

I saw an article suggesting several options. One was Sam Cassel? Just say NO! I think he would be a good coach. Send highly regarded as an assistant, despite his time as a Sun, he was a smart player. I would have him high on my list. That's the problem. It would be like asking Robert Horry or John ...

Re: Phoenix Suns 2025-2026 Coaching Search

I had mentioned Tom Izzo in another thread because of his success and ties to Ishbia. But I also know he is getting up there in years and may not want to make such a huge change now.

Re: Phoenix Suns 2025-2026 Coaching Search

Yeah the more I think about it the more I want Chris Paul to be the first choice. Willie Green would be a close second.

Re: The Mike Budenholzer / James Jones problem

Hits/Total 19/36 53% Of course, those are my opinion and the stats don't factor in the BIG hits and misses. It's actually a smaller percentage of positive hits than I expected. Thanks for laying this out, Bobster! Thoughts? I mostly agree with each of your hit/miss decisions on each line of James ...

Dragic? As in the Dragon? I thought he left. He came and went multiple times. Lol! I thought he was awesome! Me too! I was pissed when McD chose Bledsoe over him. Bledsoe was fools gold. I remember one game where he just took over. Couldn't miss.Totally unconscious. I think it was against the Spurs ...
