This is shocking on so many levels.

Neat joke.
I don't understand this at all. It was almost a sure thing he was coming back, this is completely out of the blue.
Couldn't pass up that golden opportunity.
Could be A'm'a'r'e related.
Don't you mean A'm'a'r'e'l'a't'e'd?
Wow, don't think anyone expected that.
you for having such a great one upper.
I think it's more "Sarver being a prick and alienating all the good front office personnel Phoenix has had in the last 5 years" related. I don't get it because whenever Kerr asked Sarver to spend money on something he always did, it's anyone's guess as to what happened here.
Mark West probably gets promoted to GM since he's been the assistant GM for awhile.
if you supported steve starver again was cheap
My guess would be David Griffin. He's already been doing a lot of the work for awhile.
so he overachieves and now he's out? eh. Maybe he knows something we dont know...like they gonna blow up the team!
It sounds like it was Sarver's cheapness again, as the Republic article says: "Kerr's contract expires June 30 but he had been expecting and hoping to return until negotiations for his contract and an opportunity to return to television as a NBA commentator prompted him to leave the organization after three years as its GM."
David Griffin is a dumb sack of who couldn't maneuver his way out of a paper bag, the Suns are ed if he's the choice.
Tbh this has more than Sarver's cheapness to do with it. These two have been buddies for years, Kerr knows something about this team we don't know.
Very surprising. I will admit, I am (selfishly) pretty happy about this, if it means he's back on TNT. Always enjoyed his announcing work.
lol suns
lol kerr
lol amare
you for having such a great one upper.
Well at least it's an improvement over your 1 liners
You think Amar'e's out then? Or that Sarver's restricting their ability to throw money at FA's?
Kerr didn't overachieve. A couple of players on the team who he wasn't responsible for acquiring overachieved. Kerr gets some praise for what happened this past season, and people forget the disaster he himself created to begin with. Shaq trade. Hiring Terry Porter and then panicking and firing him a couple months later. With all the credit Alvin Gentry got for helping the team become better defensively without completely forsaking the offensive approach, people forget that Kerr never intended for Gentry to be the head coach. He was the interim coach after Porter was fired.
Kerr can have a little bit of credit for lucking out on Jared Dudley in the Jason Richardson deal. But I think that was more luck than anything. And with Michael Jordan's reputation for giving teams great role players (Shannon Brown in the Radman deal), I think it's more of an indictment on Jordan's ability to keep good, young talent. Kerr can take some credit for maybe being a better talent evaluator than some people thought with how Robin Lopez developed. But, again, I'm not sure how much credit Kerr should get for that.
I think he did as much if not more bad than good as Suns GM. And then because they technically did overachieve this past season, some think he's a much better GM than he actually is.
But hey, that's from a non-partisan fan who doesn't know everything that went down with everything in Phoenix. Maybe I have it twisted too. I just don't think he was that good of a GM to begin with. But hey, Sarver is a cheapskate too.
It's anyone's guess IMO. Sarver has a track record of always caving for what D'antoni or Kerr tell him to do. That Nash extension raised a lot of eyebrows, but Sarver gave it. Paying Goran Dragic (a 2nd round pick) top 15 pick money seemed odd but Kerr convinced Sarver to do it. Just my opinion but I think this has very little to do with Amare Stoudemire. We could very well be overthinking it and Kerr just wanted to return to a stress free job, but I doubt it given the sense of achievement he had after this season.
Don't forget grabbing the heir-apparent Dragic.
he lucked out? He didn't legitimately just make a good trade? He "lucked out" with Dudley and Richardson?
Also the Shaq trade was D'antoni, Kerr didn't wanna do it. You should know what you're talking about before you talk about it.
