    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    I don't believe there's any chance this really happens, but it's an interesting thought experiment.

    New ASU Athletic Director: Graham Rossini

    I don't take any issue with how he's running the university academically at large. By all standards, he seems to be doing great at that. But he also has a weird disregard for the athletic programs that almost seems to border on disdain. And he keeps hiring people in that department (or allowing...

    That's a laugh. Like the assistant GMs were responsible for the idiotic roster moves throughout James Jones' tenure.

    Nuggets aren't repeating. Too bad, so sad, and bleep them.

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    Edey would be a nice pick should he fall to our spot. And if not, there will likely be a few other guys that could potentially fit what we need and/or have long term development potential. But that's all academic. Since James Jones will apparently still be in charge of the draft, fully expect...

    The 2024 NBA playoffs thread

    Indeed. Because we have a moron for a GM who is about 7 years behind the trends of the league and would never admit he is wrong, even at gunpoint. We are likely screwed until we get someone with a clue in charge of the roster.

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    Budenholzer definitely coached circles around Monty in that series. That should have left some impression on Booker.

    Son of famous (former) agent Arn Tellem, who himself now heads up the Pistons front office.

    Basketball going back to NBC Broadcasts

    Man, I've been around long enough to remember the NBA on CBS, NBC, ABC, ESPN, TNT, NBA TV, various streaming networks... and now back to NBC. To be honest, far and away the best years were when CBS had it.

    New ASU Athletic Director: Graham Rossini

    Sounds like more cronyism from Crow. What does a "business officer" know about major college athletics?

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    The reason I believe many of these particular elements of the current CBA won't last is because you just know that the Lakers, Celtics, and every other big market team in the league will eventually also be above the second apron restriction, in spite of whatever failsafes the league has tried to...

    It's kind of absurd when you think about it. It's about 100% likely that by 2032, there will be an entirely different CBA controlling everything.

    RIP Roger Corman (1926 - 2024)

    One of the all time great low budget, independent, drive-in/exploitation, and just generally all-around "fun movie" filmmakers. He gave innumerable prominent filmmakers and actors their first breaks. A genuine filmmaking legend...

    Apparently, Drew didn't get the memo that Vogel is gone.

    Mike Budenholzer - Officially Suns new Head Coach

    Indeed... please dear lord, let anyone else but James Jones be in charge of building the roster.

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    Indeed. The guy is terrible at personnel evaluation and just fell azz backwards into a roster of young talent that was already put together before he got here, plus a couple of other lucky breaks - CP3 forcing his way here being the most prominent. Other than that, he really hasn't done...

    Vogel Fired

    I guess Ishbia really is willing to throw money at the team's problems, where he is able. Now go throw some at the GM problem, Matt.

    Vogel Fired

    I wonder if anyone else with a coaching vacancy this offseason will have an interest in Vogel? I mean obviously no one who plans on being competitive next season. But teams like Toronto, Washington, Atlanta, or Brooklyn with no chance who just need a warm body to fill their (potential) coaching...

    2024 NBA Draft talk: Suns own pick 22

    The old rookie thing isn't so much the problem as Jones obsession with that over anything else, including talent or positional need. The fact is Jones doesn't want younger players period, which is also likely why they tossed Camara to Portland last year and traded away just about every draft...

    They should just make him the guy who decides what brand of hot dogs the vendors sell and take away any other responsibilities from him.

    LOL... oh, Flex you magnificent idiot.

    Vogel Fired

    Trying to find some positivity, I hope this means Jones is being removed from any personnel decisions and into something that's just more of a ceremonial PR role. And then they follow that up by bringing in someone who is an actual quality personnel front office person who doesn't like, totally...

    Vogel Fired

    So I guess this answers the other thread as to whether we can blame Vogel. :D
  25. Raindog

    Can we blame Vogel?

    You can't fire the owner, of course. But I'd be all for firing Jones... out of a cannon so he landed outside Phoenix city limits.
