1. What happened to Flex from Jersey?

2. So glad Stephen not here

3. Kevin Durant gets another coach fired. Get rid of him and GM James Jones .

4. Here's how to sum up this season for the Suns. Luka Doncic mic'd up saying, "I've never been so open in my life!"

5. Coach Budenholzer has been coach of the year twice, won a world championship, and has been executive of the year as well. Where are you going to find a better candidate? Further, you have no draft picks because they traded them all away for Durrant and Beal. They need to trade Boozer and Durrant, and release Beal. This will at least give them some draft picks to rebuild. Yes, they will be bad for two years, but this group of players is getting old, they cost way too much, and refuse tough coaching.

6. Don't see how you can can trade Beal. Who would want that stupid contract?

7. I would love Willie Green. I felt Green was the real leader when he was Monty's assistant coach.

8. Lets face it its time too blow the whole thing up id love too keep kd and book but beal is impossible to trade, time too trade book n kd. Do we really think book is the guy to lead a championship w all the talent in the league 💣 it up already. Coach is only a small step

9. Willie Green 💚

10. Bob Meyers as gm. Coaches. Mike brown scott Brooks willie green. Sam Cassel just to name a few

11. A lot of people want Jones gone, but we forget he built a winning roster. Ishbia is the one who decided to make the win now moves that got the team into this current predicament.

12. book gets another coach fired lmao

13. let's make book the gm coach and player haha

14. front office needs to go 2

15. 3 coaches but not the players really bs

16. The Suns media can hug Booker’s nuts all they want but the Suns will remain losers for the foreseeable future if they keep him. He’s their only asset that isn’t distressed; we’re going to get a very disappointing haul for KD. By the time the front office climbs out of the mess that it’s created, Booker will be 35 years old and washed up.

17. book is not a alpha lol

18. Mazbe coaches are not the problem?

19. “The thing about the old days, they the old days”

20. sad

21. Good luck hiring a coach now — this is the worst job in the NBA.. Where is the owner and GMs accountability

22. Let's hire a coach that doesn't play favorites. First Montie, than Frank, and finally Bud.

23. Firing the coach is not the answer for this problem, FIRE those people who put this team together. The construction is so bad.

24. First of many changes that need to happen – Don't believe Bud is to be totally at fault here – I would like to see Bob Myers get a phone call and hopefully Ishbia learns from the mistakes made – I think Espo needs to read up on the 2nd apron rules – Not accepting Micic Team option and not fully guaranteeing Martins final year of his contract by June 30th will get us under 2nd apron and possibly the first. Don't need to trade KD or Beal to get there and Gerard is correct they will try and trade Beal – being under the 2nd apron they can take back multiple contracts as opposed to a like contract at trade deadline. They will waive and stretch him for sure if they cant trade him but need a discount to fit under the 15% dead money rule. Even though it will be 17-18 million he will be gone and the cap hit will be alot less. Not ideal – Blaming KD I think is un fair

25. Liker #200 baby lets GOOOOOO

26. Giving a coach one year is insulting. He may not have been perfect but if we are saying we need to hold people accountable then it’s time to hold the ones who have been consistent in these past two failure years.

    BOOKER, KD, BEAL

27. Beal has NTC so keep him. Keep KD and Book. Keep Dunn, Oso, Guillespi and Nick. Remove the rest and replace them with those South Sudanese players who played in the Olympics. They are all athletics and with dawg mentality and they are cheap. Maybe you can get them by the dozen for a $.

28. No coach can win big without top tier talent. Duh. A coach only do so much. Talent wins.

29. This show works so much better without Steven.

30. Only thing I blame Bud for is not playing Bol Bol more

31. Hire ADRIAN GRIFFIN
    FIRE JAMES JONES

32. 10 years from now we’ll hear about some bullshit that some players may have been on from other Suns players (assistants too) that will spill the beans… there’s still a story here. To be determined if it’s hero or villain.

33. Just clean house from the office down to the players

34. Sexy sax!!! 😂 major W

35. Ishbia has turned this entire PHNX crew from Theon to Reek but I guess it may be an access thing with the org

36. Coach should be a retired Suns Player. Keep the few good players the suns currently have and ask them who they want to play with, this has proven to be the best way to make a team.

37. "I'm fine not pursuing Malone. He built the Nuggets culture into an A tier organization, but listen, guys who win titles suck. That's not what the Suns are about. Let ownership find a complete robotic avatar otherwise we'll change coaches every year! Thank you Dear leader Ishbia! Many blessings 🙌"

38. Is the water heavy? I couldn't carry it.

39. Sack the GM next pls, deal KD and Beal and get ready for next year .

40. why are you acting like Bud is the problem? Coaches coach, players play the game. All the Suns' worst sins were on the court.

41. Bye Jones.

42. I dont mind a Rookie coach
