I don't agree with that AT ALL. It wasn't his fault he was given the reigns. What was he supposed to do, turn it down? He has nothing in common with the other asterisk members. Yeah, he was bad at his job but he was a good guy and tried his best. Sarver and McDonough deserve it more than he does, if you ask me. You might as well do it to Bledsoe now too.
Yeah, I don’t think I agree with the censoring of Earl Watson’s name. It’s not like he was an big asshole or something, just over his head. He was respectful the whole time he was here.

Thank you. It lessens the whole idea of the **** names.

Good fucking riddance. At least Triano has head coaching experience. It's that great, but it's something.

Also, McD's next to go after the season. He's got no concept of how to build a team and keep order. Dragic, IT, the M****s idiots, Hornacek's firing, now Bledsoe and his tweets. You can say "don't blame him for Bleds' tweet" but still. It's always been something. Except for the 48 win season, which was an accident, we've been nothing but dysfunctional and underachieving.

Okay; I mostly meant it in jest, but I don't want to asterisk any names that are not essentially unanimously hated by fans. I un-asterisked Watson's name. No harm no foul.

What has McDonough done to deserve it, other than being bad at his job?

He needs to back to where he belongs and take his brother with him.

I agree with you. Just saying if Earl were to get it, McDonough hired him so he would deserve it more. I think we have the right idea now to limit it to universally hated ex-Suns.

Listening to the emergency Empire of the Suns pod and Craig Grialou said a current player on the team texted him "He had to go."
Go Suns!

That's my first guess too with Booker being a very close second.

Becky, yes. Thunder Dan, no. He seems like another softee to me.

Thunder Dan has never been soft in any way. (That's what she said. Beat you to it!)

an article talks about Nash being a good choice (if he's interested)
well, he's certainly smart enough and popular here

is it fair to say he can't be a defensive coach because it was a weakness of his?

I don't think so. Nash's problems on D were due to physical limitations, not his understanding of the game.

All these tweet posta are unreadable or linkable in tapatalk... Can you just post the tweet please Image

Not sad Watson's gone... Just hope this is rock bottom and we can improve... The pre season and first three games have been as bad as I can remember... Even the porter years weren't this bad were they.. Though I think we might have more potential talent?

Sarver doesn't think we are tanking. I wonder how long McD has, too. Hopefully Bob learned something from 2013. You can't bring in a new GM a couple of months before the draft and expect him to be prepared.
