Shows how important an owner can be. Sounds like Sarver wants to try to make the playoffs every year by any means necessary and rebuilding isn't an option

Though a few years ago I really did think they were rebuilding and expected to lose a lot but overachieved and won 48 games and every move they made since then was them thinking they were closer then they really were

The good news is that they're hitting rock bottom and should get a high pick this year and for the next few even if that isn't the owners gameplan

I think Hornacek got a raw deal with his firing. The team was sabotaged the past two years with some of the moves they have made and I hope he gets another chance somewhere else again.
He did get a raw deal, obviously. But he wanted to get fired. I guarantee he's happy/relieved to be gone.

The Suns were supposed to tank two years ago but they over achieved and as a result Sarver wanted to get back in the playoffs.
I read somewhere the GM McDonough mentioned how he has to rebuild and try to contend on the fly.

If anybody should get the blame it's Sarver cause he is too impatient.
someone shoulda rocked sarvers jaw a decade ago after the joe johnson debacle that cost the suns a title

I think he knew he was inevitably getting fired after his assistants got fired and the GM brought in 2 new ones. Hornacek was probably just kept to show the new guys the ropes and stuff.

TJ Warren became the best player on this team over night.

He's actually regressed over the last 2 weeks.Got benched one game for what Hornacek termed "lack of effort".

As of right now, Devin Booker is the Suns best player.....He's averaging 21 ppg since Brandon Knight went out the lineup.

Low key, he has better PG skills than anybody on the whole squad.Highest IQ, to.He's already crafty enough to know how to mix up his offensive game.Midrange, pull up's, drives, hesi's, pump fakes, the deep 3 etc..etc..

Breh has it.I think he'll easily turn into one of the top 5 SG's in the league within a couple of year...hell, top 3, even.

Kentucky has so much talent, dudes like him can go unnoticed.If the draft was done over tomorrow, he'd probably go in the top 3-5 range..Only young player I feel confident about on the Suns.TJ Warren not too far behind, but his IQ/effort is inferior to D Book's.
