It seems like lately there are two types of suns fans. The fans that want to fire Porter and get a new coach or the fans that want some sort of major trade (mainly amare but there are some for nash as well.) Its not just here but every suns forum something needs to happen and it happened last time this sort of thing was going on.

edit - This is about suns fans that do want a major change. There are a lot of people who don't fall into these two or want a combination of these two. But generally from what i've seen from most of the suns fans that post on the internet they either want a big trade or a new coach.

Personally I think we should fire Porter and get a new coach because we already tried the trade thing and it still didn't get us where we needed to be. There is no more time for we will get chemistry excuses because the team and Terry Porter's offense/defense is too erratic for that and the players are too erratic for that one they are happy and one they they are mad. We need a coach that isn't afraid to bench someone after a mistake and stop them from making things worse. If Popovich or Phil were our coaches amare would have been benched or coming off the second unit until he got his act together but nope Porter just lets him keep going. We need a new Coach, we don't need to lose one of our best players.

Surely there are more than two types of Suns fan. I have no interest in wanting Porter fired or want some major trade. So your point is moot.

I know but im talking majority there are a lot of neutral ones but im talking about the fans that are generally angry at the team and want something to change. I should probably put this in the first post.

I would think Terry Porter to be untouchable for this year. It would look really bad on the Suns management part if they hire and fire a coach before 1/2 a season has gone by. How often does this happen? When a non-interm NBA head coach is fired less than one year into his contract?

You don't count because you're not actually a Suns fan. I would add a third category. Those who have very low expectations for the Suns in the short-term because their players aren't that good, and are not feeling too optimistic about the long-term prospects because of Sarver/Kerr.

Sign me up for category 3. Until Sarver/Kerr are replaced or get their act together this team isn't going to accomplish anything worthwhile.

there are all kinds of types of fans for any teams. with the suns, you have the people who only liked them when they were run and gun because it was fun to watch. generally those people don't care if the suns win or lose. i would also consider that a type of fan.

you might also add the group that simply wants to see "good guys" like nash win a title.

There are suns fans who actually like Kerr/Sarver? I was going to combine them with Porter but really people like these two?

I imagine there are some fans who don't really care either way about Sarver/Kerr.
