Say what now? You have relentlessly pushed for tanking last year and this. Are 28-year-olds entering the draft now?

No. My only point is if Sarver really wanted to win now he has/had options. I mean if the Suns wanted Irving they could have gotten him...etc. The suns aren't making moves to win...even now.

McD should be lead college scout but he has a problem evaluating professionals. How many upset PG's have we had in 3 years? How many coaches have lost their players team under his watch? Triano will be the third coach in 4 years and we're going to trust McDonough to make another coaching hire next summer?

Gambo talking about Majerle makes me wonder if the Suns would try to hire Majerle outright as the Suns head coach and skip the interim head coach idea.

I would dismiss the idea outright but Gambo is close to Sarver.

Dan Majerle is currently on the road having GCU scrimmage against Nevada - he of course would be perfect candidate in my opinion.

Also this tweet from Bordow makes me wonder.

No idea who Suns will hire but if I'm doing the hiring time to find an experienced head coach who put players into position to succeed

All is quiet. Hopefully the Suns are meeting with the players and possible interim head coach.

Is Triano official? I don't like the news that Watson used his offense...

Why would the FO want them to stay with the same system that players hate and suck at?

They can spin it however they want, but it's clear to anyone watching that there was no offense and no system. "Stand around until you get the ball, then attempt to score on your own regardless of the circumstances" isn't a system.

It's like "sink or swim" isn't it?

The team playbook sucked and bench substitutions was terrible. Looks like Dudley's coaching career might get started soon

The first two are right. Please no Dudley for head coach.

For the sake of argument, what makes Dudley a worse choice than Majerle? I think both would be asinine, but there's broad support for Majerle on this board, as there is for Eddie Johnson, which would make even less sense.

These first 3 games have seemed like nobody really gives a crap. Seemed like Watson wanted to be fired.

I can't see Majerle ending up any different than Hornacek as far as fan favorite former player coaches team, everyone supports him until it becomes obvious that he's out of his league and then it's awkward to talk about wanting him fired. When he does get fired though people try and avoid talking about it, pretending the whole thing never happened.

At least Majerle has coaching experience on the NBA and college level.

Mainstreet edit the title buddy!

And good riddance to Watson. Overmatched by the entire league. I like the idea of Blatt over the summer.

I've tried to edit the title right after posting it, but so far, no response from a moderator.

I welcome any help from anyone reading this post.

Awesome. I didn't know.

However, it looks like a Moderator fixed it for me. :thumbup:
