I really like the move of inserting Bol in the starting lineup. It'll take some development time, but his length and ability to score will help tremendously. Being with Book and Durant kind of negates some of his downsides and he plays better as an auxiliary player to stars.

Monte hasn't had a good run lately, but I'd still much prefer him over Tyty. Actually I'd love tyus off the bench. A lineup of Booker/Dunn/Durant/Bol/Richards solves a lot of the size issues and I'd love to see it given a shot.

Damn I completely forgot about Monte Morris. How the hell was TyTy playing over him?

Richards is simply a bench big man but because of the circumstances, he has to start for the Suns. Perhaps the Suns should just start Bol Bol at center, and go with a more agile spread offense.

At this point....go for it

Last season after 53 games, we were 31-22, 9 games over .500. We still had something to play for then. Now at a game under .500 at this point in the season....it's all but lost

Bud sucks. He makes me long for Vogel

Coaches can do so much. Vogel and Bud won championships. Monty won coach of the year, made it to the finals and have the best regular season ever. But somehow they all suck.

This team's problem is not the coach. It's the idiotic roster constrution.

Yeah

I think all coaches play a part in the failures of each season but Bud should be better than Monty and Vogel but isn't getting much positive from the team. The Tyus Jones experiment just hasn't worked despite virtually everyone thinking it was a great move since that's what we were missing last season. With less than half a season to go, I'd have no issues going back to Point Book again, play some more bigger players like Royce/Dunn/Grayson in the starting line up and throw caution to the wind.

Wish we had the Denver Monte Morris. He and Malik Beasley were killers in that 2nd unit
