Honestly, I really can't tell.

It's and inmate run the asylum type deal going on.

Any competent franchise would value Booker over Knight & Bledsoe

but you never really know about the Suns.

Knight has only played about 10 mins the last 2 games.It's about time.

I feel bad for Booker, tho.He has to work extremely hard for every shot he gets.

His backcourt mates don't look for him at all.

There seems to be no structure on offense at all. Its pick and roll with Len or Chandler and if that fails its ISO ball.

How long is Watson's contract? I don't remember the details about his contract being announced.

Watson signed a 3 yr deal......2 more seasons after this one:mjcry:

No discipline out there.I think they lost momentum when they went away from Booker

after he had the hot hand in the 1st.Watson left him on the bench almost all of the 2nd quarter

While Brandon Knight chucked away, going 0-6.

After that, Eric Bledsoe started doing his hero ball/ISO/indecisive dribble dribble dribble thing.

This team has bad chemistry.Too many selfish players.

Watson is pretty much a stopgap coach. To me, he wasn't supposed to be a HC for a couple years, but I'm sure the money and opportunity was too great to pass up. However, we know McDonough isn't going to be fired, even though this is his mess (trading that Laker pick). Dumb cheap, broke owner and a GM with no vision, the coach isn't going to have much success.

The owner Sarver isn't broke. He is just cheap. The reason Kerr left after the 2010 season is because Sarver didn't want to give a raise to the front office people working with Kerr. The Cavs GM used to work for the Suns under Kerr.

McDonough is a decent GM. He drafts good but needs to trade the majority of the veterans so the young talent can get more minutes. Sarver might be involved so the GM may not have much choice. Especially since he has one year left on his contract.

Sarver is not "technically" broke, but he serviced a lot of debt from creditors, several hundred million in fact, to buy the team from the Colangelos because he didn't have the money to outright buy the team. He is not wealthy like the new gang of owners (Ballmer, Prokorov, Lasry/Edens, Gores, the two minority partners in Minnesota) who are multi-billionaires on paper in terms of equity. There is a reason Sarver kept being cheap, because he uses the team profits to pay off the debt. New CBA and TV deal is a godsend for him.
