Vogel was 5 years 31 million and has been paid 2 years, so probably has 20 million left. Bud was 5/50 so has 40 million left. That should put it at 60 million left. Monty had his deal offset because he signed with Detroit so we didn’t pay him anything. Not sure if Vogel has anything offset as an assistant coach.

I feel like I'm watching one of the old disaster movies...Airport 1975...lol. I'm sitting here looking between locked fingers thinking..."What the hell can go wrong next?"...and asking myself, "I paid for this?"

Sure, if she's the best qualified for the job and has all those attributes we've talked about. Hopefully the guys on the team would accept her as well.

Re: Mike Budenholzer Fired
Let Diana Taurasi coach the Suns
Re: Mike Budenholzer Fired
I wouldn’t mind a female. They can’t possibly listen to a woman any less than they listened to the last few coaches. I would hope they would respect Hammon, and we know they—or at least Booker—would respect Taurasi. Whether totally serious or not, I like the suggestion from Wally, but hiring Taurasi would seem a little unfair to Hammon, though.Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Apr 15, 2025 9:21 pmSure, if she's the best qualified for the job and has all those attributes we've talked about.

My hope is that the "they" you speak of are no longer Suns next year. I'm expecting huge roster overhaul
Re: Mike Budenholzer Fired
I would be ok with either Hammond (experience on the bench) or Taurasi (Phoenix ties). Both are winners and driven.
