Re: E**l W****n Fired
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.

Re: E**l W****n Fired
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.

Re: E**l W****n Fired
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.Cap wrote:What has McDonough done to deserve it, other than being bad at his job?Superbone wrote:I don't agree with that AT ALL.

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."

That's my first guess too with Booker being a very close second.EDC wrote:Dudley?carey wrote: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."

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

Re: Earl Watson Fired
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?

Re: Earl Watson Fired
I don't think so. Nash's problems on D were due to physical limitations, not his understanding of the game.1tinsoldier wrote:an article talks about Nash being a good choice (if he's interested)

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?

Re: Earl Watson Fired
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.Split T wrote:How much time does McD get? How long will sarver let him tank?
