Maybe, maybe not. This may be the summer to stand pat. If Minnesota doesn't want to move Kevin Love, then he won't be moved, and right now they don't appear inclined to move. Do you waste assets to work a sign and trade for Monroe or Hayward? The draft aside, this may be the summer where the Suns don't do much at all.
if the suns regress, he will be out of the job by the end of next season.
but if the suns REAALLY REGRESS to philly levels, he might be able to salvage his job by offering suns faithful the hope of a potential number one overall pick next next season.
I was referring to the Suns media (AZ Republic, BSOTS) and the fanbase in general. And I'm not saying that the Cinderella season is the only reason to be happy with McDonough. I told this to Superbone last offseason: I'm not going to be easy. I'm not going to praise Hornacek for his summer league coaching. I'm not going to anoint McDonough for doing the bare minimum.
Bare Minimum? We must have different translations of that word. Getting 2 1st rd picks,Bledsoe,Green,and cap space is a whole lot more then "bare minimum" in my book.
You're right; "bare minimum" is too much of a hyperbole. But for me, it's pretty close to the minimum of what I would expect out of a good GM.
and you have to remember, all the preseason moves mcdo made to sell assets was made to make the suns TURRIBLE in the short term. dragon, green and co. screwed up his plans for wiggins et al.

I'll tattoo an LAL logo on my face if McD is fired next year.

As far as I can tell, sdc's only main gripe about McD is that he didn't trade for Pau. Which is one move or lack of move out of a whole year on the job. Doesn't sound too bad to me.

Apparently, sdc likes Gasol so much that he wants McD fired since he didn't pick him up at the deadline.

admit it, the suns would not only have secured a playoff spot ahead of GSW, dallas and memphis if that deal got done, but also horny would have won COTY, mcdo EOTY, dragic 1st team all nba guard, gerald green MIP and sixth man of the year.

They would have taken most improved away from Dragic?

I'll make two predictions right now. The Suns will not be extremely bad next season and McDonough will not get fired. I know I'm going out on a limb here.

becoming really bad is a deliberate decision. if the suns starts selling assets again like last year, mcdo might eventually succeed...

My prediction stands. If anything, we'll be better.
