It is official. Thunder Dan Majerle is officially no longer a part of the Phoenix Suns coaching staff. Another one out...

Hey, I know you're in with the organization, so please convey that BurningHeart from RealGM thinks the organization is a **** disaster and an embarrassment in every single possible way, and that Robert Sarver should be shamed from public life for allowing all this to happen to such a proud and upstanding franchise.
Thanks.

Disappointing but I don't blame him. Any idea if he plans on going back into broadcasting or has he washed his hands entirely of the current Suns organization?

I am not a part of the organization at all, but can convey that for sure.

I'd venture a guess that the bridges with the current regime have been burnt in similar fashion as was done with Ceballos.

Dan is totally done at this time. He will not be broadcasting either.

Thats a shame. Dans been my favorite Sun ever since I was a kid. Always hoped one day Id make it down the the arena and somehow find him to get him to sign my Todd McFarlane Thunder Dan figure.

Just take it into majerles and ask to speak to one of the managers,I'm sure they would be happy to hold it for you untill he's able to swing by and sign it the next time he's in.when I worked there he was in at least once a week.

This team is a joke, top to bottom
Lousy front office, ownership, and players. Just awful...The people who worked for the Suns that we met on our trip were passionate and knowledgeable and they're being led by the bloody three stooges

How many millions of people, every day, have to deal with missing out on a job/promotion they felt they deserved? Or having a boss they feel is incompetent? I don't know if he was a good candidate or not. But just walking out on the team like that does not reflect very well on him, IMO. I guess he has the bank account to afford that luxury, though.

Still trying to figure out why Gentry walked, halfway through a season, when we had no chance anyway.
Still trying to figure out why Steve Kerr resigned. He's much better than these two idiots.
Still trying to figure out if this team had any Plan B after Amare left.
Still trying to figure out what we are actually trying to achieve now.
Still trying to figure out why we didnt trade Nash once Amare left.
Still trying to figure out if we actually have a scouting staff.
Still trying to figure out why I'm still a Suns fan.

Gentry didnt walk. He got fired. A "mutual agreement" to leave is never ever mutual.
And Kerr resigned because his contract was about to be up and Sarver was low-balling him.
The rest of those questions are very fair...

Maybe he was afraid Dan would help them win games and therfore hurt our tanking strategy.
