Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
I'm with you. I don't think they do that though, and it doesn't seem like Ishbia has any interest in that either.

Heat wouldn’t do it but I’d gladly take Bam and Jovic who would be a major upgrade for us.

The question is, who ends up with the bloody horse head in their bed? Obviously, Suns.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
As much as I'd love to have Myers, you'd think we'd figure out hiring the GM first before hiring a new coach. You could end up hiring a Coach that doesn't even fit the new GM's vision and potentially giving them one more thing to undo later. That tells me that the GM position is already figured out.
Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
I don't know who'd come to just oversee Jones as the GM without assurances that he can fire Jones if he doesn't like how things are going. Seems odd
Love, Hurts.
Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
It's likely a two-step process to oust James Jones. First put somebody above him who can overrule and undermine him; then later let Jones go for not seeing eye to eye with his new boss.
If that person is Myers, I support it. If that person is Isiah Thomas (more likely), I do not.

James Jones already knows the writing on the wall. I imagine this is word he is being passed over and his time is short.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 8:49 amIt's likely a two-step process to oust James Jones.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
Apparently Gambo has shot down Isiah Thomas being the guy.

That tweet is false. Sarver was suspended when Jones was promoted. It was, at least officially, Sam Garvin that promoted him to President of Basketball Ops.

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
In terms of availability, this season honestly was as good as it probably is going to get. The Suns were able to finish the season with the Big 3 all healthy, and that carried over into the playoffs. That's really all you can ask for. You're only going to get about 60 games out of each of these guys. And Durant played 75 games! If the Suns are banking on better health next year as a key to success, they've already acquiesced to defeat, in the words of the legendary Pai Mei.
Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News
I don't know if that applies here. There aren't a lot of available candidates, let alone qualified ones. Who else were the Suns going to hire to coach three superstars?Kryptonic wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 8:33 amAs much as I'd love to have Myers, you'd think we'd figure out hiring the GM first before hiring a new coach.

Lord I hope you’re right…. I’d be happier than a pig in crap if they could snag Myers.INFORMER wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 8:33 amI don't know if that applies here.

I don't mind him as the third center, but we all know that's not what we're going to get.
