I heard a juicy little rumor this weekend, and this looks like the best place to display it.
Hello all, hope you're doing well. I'm as fine as can be, despite nursing a wicked hangover. And yes, I even hope those hating me with red hot passion well.
I have a source close to Dan Majerle, somebody who's nearly considered family in Thunder Dan's eyes. I'd rather not give away the source, just to say that I don't lie to people here, people who know me here should probably know me well enough to know I am honest to a fault at some times. But because revealing my source has even the slightest degree to bring some sort of harm or to reflect badly on this person, I prefer to take no chances and keep quiet on who they may be.
I tell you only that I trust this person to be telling the truth and that I'm telling you this only because I thought this was too good not to share, and this isn't the type of thing I'd want to discuss on Planet O. This is something ya'll can chew on or not. Basically, you can rip me a new one if you think I'm making this up too, but I can tell you in no uncertain terms that I'd lay my soul on the line to verify that I believe this to be an entirely truthful account.
The rumor is that Dan Majerle hates Terry Porter with a passion, and he's not alone. The entire coaching staff cannot stand Terry Porter. They all think he's doing a terrible job. And the team feels exactly the same way. Dan has told my source that everyone has given up on Terry Porter, with the exception of Kerr and Sarver.
According to my source, Dan has already spoken up about not wanting to take over the reigns as head coach. Dan supposedly would rather it not cut into his drinking schedule. He feels he'd need to be a more responsible leader than he's willing to be right now and the team deserves better. Dan supposedly jokes about this in this manner.
The most likely scenario seems to be, even if we appear to be not making the Post-season, Kerr and Sarver are dead set against firing Terry Porter. Even though the entire team and the rest of the coaching staff have given up on Porter, Kerr and Sarver are determined to prove they're right and everyone else is wrong.
There is however a slim chance they may let Porter go, and if they do, it appears Alvin Gentry would be the most likely candidate to replace him as head coach of the Phoenix Suns. They're staying in-house.
Me personally, I want Marc Iavaroni. The team loved him when he was here. But according to what Dan's told my source, they ain't spending any money they don't have to this season.
I have another friend who's close to this situation who claims the housing market situation is hurting Sarver. We're both hoping that this means that that douche-bag will have to sell the team, that Kerr will be out the door soon too as well, and maybe we'll get somebody in there who don't got his head up his ass. But we're just hoping this is the case, neither have heard any rumors about this to corroborate this at all, at least not yet. Just wishful thinking on our part. The rest though I totally believe 100%.
Do with this info what you will. Call me names or feel free to discuss the possibility that this is all true. I swear though that I do have a source and this is exactly what I've heard, and I trust my source completely.
