Na man, Sarver's goal is a team below the luxury tax threshold that is exciting, wins 50 games and is somewhat compe ive in the playoffs. Rebuilding mode will cost him money, the fans in Phoenix don't buy tickets when the team is rebuilding. The funny thing is, this was Jerry Colangelo's M.O. as much as it's Sarver's, only difference is Colangelo knew how to come across as a nice guy who legitimately cared.
They didn't overachieve really. We all knew a team with Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire could win 50+ games and earn a top 3 seed with fast breaks, whoring p/rs, and 3 point shooting, nothing about that was surprising or new. In the playoffs, they were simply a 3 seed that beat a 6 and 7 seed.
I will say that while they didn't really overachieve, people are getting way to high on them calling them a near contender and just because of a regular season we've seen from them in the past coupled with lucky playoff seeding.
IMO, they overachieved getting that 3 seed (did anyone predict that) and they overachieved taking LA to 6 (almost 7) games.
What's so shocking about a team led by Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire winning 54+ games? They've done it multiple times in the past, I know no one thought they were capable of it but it's certainly not overachieving to do something you've already done.
And no, losing in 6 isn't overachieving. They won 2 home games. That's not some huge achievement. It's not over achieving, and it's also nothing to take pride in.
hey I like ASU!
I hated some of Kerrs moves (most notably Shaq and Terry Porter), but it was somewhat comforting to know that there was someone with some weight in that front office who was primarily concerned with winning.
This definitely isnt good for the Suns. Especially when the Dragic/Lopez picks and Richardson/Dudley trades looked like complete steals right now.
*sigh*
Such is the life of a Suns fan.
Not crazy. Stupid, but not crazy.

If they get Pritchard or Presti I'd be thrilled. They're both on expiring contracts, chances are OKC is gonna do whatever it takes to keep Presti, but they can probably get Pritchard if they have interest.
We finally get to the bottom of the money issue. This Republic article explains how Kerr can deny the offer was a paycut even though it really was:
http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns...s-kerr-ON.htmlKerr was offered a one-year contract to stay at his current salary or a three-year deal that would repeat his previous one except for adding a third-year bonus. That meant Kerr's first-year salary would be a cut of about 10 percent from last season, when his salary ranked in the upper one-third of West GMs.
From his KTAR interview, it sounds like Sarver does NOT want to hire David Griffin as GM.
Well that earns him some points in my book.
LOL
Not sure of his reason (havent read story) but it seemed like he was taking the games really, really hard when they lost and getting way too goty happy when they won.
I think it's important to care of course ... but the Spur crew and even Mitch (who i wasnt a fan of at first) stay calm and cool under pressure.
I loved West and to me he is the greatest but he burnt out oo quick because he took things too hard as well ...
IMHO
One of the best party schools in the nation ...strip clubs close to the campus blow LA's outta the water!!!
If you like STDs then ASU is a great party school.
According to AZcentral David Griffin quit his position and will be leaving the Suns and the end of the month, too. LOL now that's even a worse loss than Kerr. Griff has been with the Suns for 18 years, I know for a fact he would get good offers and will take his front office people with him. Suns are dead.
