Media Day videos and quotes

Spoiler: show/hide

[Superbone]

You outdid yourself, Shel, with that collection from media day!

[Gladiator]

Agreed. Awesome stuff Shel

[ShelC]

No prob. Full video below if anyone wants to sit thru 2 1/2 hours. Valley of the Suns recapped things well in 3 ways - Ishbia and Jones acknowledging last year wasn't good despite the record. Jones even said the Suns didn't enjoy the season. Then, it's apparent that guys want to be here - Tyus Jones and Morris signings, Bol and Okogie returning. Finally, Bud is going to get creative with lineups and try to maximize the offense.

Generally, I'm keeping a wait and see attitude. I guess I feel a little better about things after seeing the clips of guys talking but we were all excited about the roster additions and Vogel this time last year as well. Vogel clearly wasn't the guy and that led to the poor vibes, so we need Bud to work this year and for the guys to really buy in.

This team just feels like it's heading in the right direction now, Vogel always felt icky to me, like he was forced in.

People (not here, but in the media) are sleeping on this team because we were so underwhelming last year. I think we are going to be a lot better this season.

Honestly, I think I'm leaning this way, but will you forgive me for waiting to see? I also think that the Grizzlies are going to take a huge leap back up this season, along with Sacramento, Houston, and San Antonio improved too as it looks.

Sounds like a good season of NBA basketball is ahead of us!

C'mon Brad, just say it.

We should have known there were issues when Frank held on for dear life to that little tuft of hair on his forehead.

[Split T]

I can’t help but think having both Kevin Young and Frank Vogel was the issue. Players wanted Young, but the FO decided they needed an experienced head coach…Frank was the only one willing to let Young have a major role and the two likely butted heads a lot with Frank holding the power. Division in the coaching ranks is not a good thing

[ShelC]

Frank is a dork. Connecting with players is as big a part of the job as knowing Xs and Os and he couldn't connect. You could feel the guys rolling their eyes at him on the bench and in the lockerroom. Same thing probably happened in LA despite the championship.
