I mean, the splash trades and hires haven't amounted to jackshit. Hard for me to get up in arms about this hire.

Gambo mentions Gregory is a development player guy. I wonder if this is the move for a rebuild in near future? Further, doesn’t a newbie GM with little nba experience basically prime other teams to try and fleece us?

Good question. That will be interesting to track. Not like we had a good reputation before as we got fleeced in the KD trade.

They already have been with our newbie owner.

If he's going with a 1st time GM and we're looking at a 1st time head coach, it's hard to imagine we'll be competing right away. Ishbia insisted we'd always be competitive but these moves would say otherwise.

He sure seemed to try hard this year being competitive with how he spent money and we were far from competitive.

Maybe if we try to suck we’ll be competitive?

Legit head coaches with experience and championship pedigree meant jack squat.

A brand new one to head coaching. That's who. Only 30 NBA head coaching jobs in the world. They are paid well and are in very high demand.

It just feels like another knee jerk reaction.

Just to give my 2 cents; I'm honestly encouraged once I stepped off my JJ bias

All I needed to hear was that he was involved in (my boi'z) Ryan and Oso being drafted and I was set. Add to that the fact that he's been an actual coach.



*I'll preface and say that I hope JJ takes the "advisory" role; only to be the senior voice of reason that "dgaf"

Not a Bickley fan, but hard to disagree. We’re so screwed.

Exactly my thoughts.

This is typical Bickley. I strongly disagree with his premise that hiring from within is inherently bad.

The Suns situation is bad enough to the point that it is a little unbelievable to accept that the personnel to turn drastically improve the situation were already part of the organization.

We'll have a good read on if this was a good hire in a couple of months, so I won't waste time crying over it. But there are more red flags here than signs that this is the right direction.
