I’m telling you that boy is nice. And he can space the floor

I kind of want him to get the Hami minutes whenever Abrines comes back. Run Schroder, Abrines, Nader, Patterson, & Noel as the bench & just hope they can score enough to make it work if they can get Schroder back into playmaking mode for the other guys. Hami is cool but he's pretty much an energy guy that would be out of the rotation if Robes came back anyway, & that lineup would at least present the threat of spacing.

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.
Damn didn’t know about McDonaugh and Rich

It's mostly the contract situation with Eric Bledsoe.

McDonough seem to piss off almost all players that left the Suns through free agency or trade. The biggest problem is he basically treated the players as assets. He lacked a more subtle approach to player relations.
