This tells me they are not serious about changing personnel or team strategy.

I know injuries are the main reason for this team being terrible, but the team needs to move Knight & Goodwin. Booker needs to be starting along side Bledsoe. PJ needs to move on. He is a good role player on a playoff team, but he is just blocking the progress of young players on this team.

He's just a puppet coach for our shitty organization/ownership to control.

Earl Watson has an odd shaped head.

Steve Kerr gave permission to Walton to interview for jobs after the playoffs. Suns make their decision in the first round.

I highly doubt Walton would even want the Phoenix job.

Let's be real here, he's one of the top candidates and could go wherever he wants basically (out of the available jobs)… we're way down at the bottom of the list of coaching vacancies.

If we played that game we likely end up with some leftover-type of coach, or just stick with Watson and piss him off for taking that long to decide after interviewing him.

I realize we're not the most desirable place at the moment but there is no reason whatsoever to make a decision right now. Plus you never know. Walton has a soft spot for the state of Arizona for obvious reasons. McDonough is once again showing his below average GM skills.

He can interview during playoffs, just not during series. So once the first round is over, he can interview before the second round starts.

But either way, thanks for keeping all the good coaches on the market for us teams that need a coach (FUCKING FIRE BYRON SCOTT ALREADY BUSS FAMILY!)

Tyson needs to go too.

It's shaped like a hexagon.

Suns probably figure they're going into a rebuild and no big name coach would be worth the price for two years of growth. Earl is probably going to be just asked to coach the guys up as best as possible, while the FO positions the team for competitiveness in another year or two.

I am sorry..I truly am

 

[Black Adam]

wow...

guess you gotta have some head-scratchers in the world...

The one positive about Earl is all the players loved him. He also helped develop the young guys when he took over. I'm not thrilled with the hire, but we're a few years from contending so player development has to be the priority.

Thibs, Jackson, Van Gundy & Walton were all "win-now" type of hires that probably wouldn't be interested. Which leaves you with a very thin set of coaches to pick from.

Bledsoe, Booker, Len, Warren, Knight, two lotto picks and some cap room… let's see what you got, Watson.

Dale Ellis thinks it looks just fine.
