How you feel about the new coach
Click to expand...

I'm conflicted.

Its hard to judge him because of the bad roster McDonough left him. The team doesn't have a starting caliber PG or PF. Then again Sarver could have been hampering his work. I honestly think the front office and Sarver were conflicted on whether to draft Ayton or Doncic. I think at first the Suns were going to draft Doncic and its probably why Igor got hired. Sarver even flew out to Europe to watch Doncic. Then Sarver probably wanted Ayton because he is an Arizona alum and though Ayton would boost attendance by being a local college star.

The old gm McDonough seems to be decent at finding talent but he couldn't build a balanced roster or manage player relations at all. It seems like all players that left the Suns in the past 3-5 years have had a problem with management. McDonough and Rich Paul had beef. Rich Paul even said he would not listen to offers for any of his clients.

Its probably why James Jones is in now. To fix player relations with the team.

I wish the coach was more flexible on his system. Especially running more plays for Ayton while Booker recovers from injury. They don't have anything to lose as they are pretty much guaranteed a top 5 pick.

McDonough wanted to take SGA over Bridges but was apparently overruled

McDonough was up and down for sure, but it's just all the more ridiculous that he was fired, at least in part, for not landing a pg in the offseason :skip:

I guess Sarver wanted McDonough to land a big name PG. When he didn't I guess Sarver gave him the :camby:

Sarver needs to step back and let people do their jobs. He has Ayton and Booker which they can be franchise cornerstones. I just hope Sarver doesn't fukk it up.
