(my bad, meant to put this in the BB forum)PHOENIX – Phoenix Suns officials were meeting with Alvin Gentry Sunday afternoon to finalize a agreement for him to replace Terry Porter as head coach, an NBA source with knowledge of the talks said.
Gentry, the Suns’ lead assistant who has previously been a head coach with the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat, will take over for the remainder of the season.
I heard Kerr was taking over, not Gentry.
oooo Lottery
The run of the Suns is over.
They've got permanent spur scars on their sides.
I wonder how much the suns would embrace Gentry if they only knew he was once a spurs assistant. Are they going to boo him before every game?
He can't really do much worse...amirite?
WHy even hire the guy? The owners had to have known that the Sun's were on their way down. I think Porter had done alot more that DAntoni would have done with this squad.
This is why the Suns are doomed. You bring in a coach to change the philsophy of the team, expect miracles after half a season and when things don't go right they fire him. He didn't even have a full season to get "his" type of personel in.
Phoenix fans should also be blamed. They complain when their team isn't playing "fun" (scoring lots of points), but also complain when they suck ass in the playoffs because of a gimicky system. So when that obviously fails, why crap on Porter for trying to change the culture of a team? They get what they deserve.
The suns is doomed. They sucks so bad, want to win but dont know what to do. First they try to be like Spurs by hiring Kerr as GM, then want to try to learn defense by hiring Porter, want to dominate in paint by getting Shaq but still fail because he just too old although he still think he is the best but he is not. I heard they even willing to trade Stoudemaire. This team is ing pathetic. How can Suns fans defend this? They fire D'Antoni,then Porter, then want to trade anybody but Nash (which is 36 years old but still a good player)..so to sum up Nash is getting old, Shaq is finished, they want to trade Amare, firing coach..what next? this team is a loser and no intelligent argument will show bright side in todays condition
Impatience and instability. All the ingredients for chaos and disorder. No one should be surprisesd.
Nice job Sarver. The NBA version of Jerry Jones.![]()
I said the same thing yesterday to a friend of mine. Except I threw out the cavet on championships and that Jerry is the GM, is Sarver going to take Kerr's spot?
He's personally shopping Amare Stoudamire around so I would say he's well on his way.
With hiim flying across the country to meet privately with team leaders and calling around fielding offers for Stoudamire, some would say he already has.
Yeah I know he's trying to make deals but Kerr is still in place. Maybe the second shoe falls soon?
and their lottery pick goes to the Oklahoma Thunders.![]()
What a great All-Star weekend for Porter... ouch
I'm gonna be called nuts, but I think the Thunder are gonna be a playoff team next year.
Two good lottery picks and the young guys developing more.
The Thunder are gonna be tough next year.
Don't feel too bad for him. He's got a 3-yr contract.
I wonder what this move will do to the supposed close friendship between Kerr and Porter. You see Sarver's hands all over this move.
Actualy, that is next years lottery pick.
I like what they got in place with Westbrook, Green and Durant.
It's their 2010 first round pick that goes to the Thunder (unprotected).
Joe Johnson's nose fracture maybe changed the future of the franchise, talk about details.
Not like I feel bad for Phx, but gotta feel bad for the true and classy fans down there.
