Peter Vescey wrote a really good column today regarding the problems in Phoenix and reveals some pretty interesting information.
Here is part of the article followed by the link to the full article.
"Raja refused to listen to Terry during practice," a source contends, "and when the two did communicate it wasn't pretty. Raja also bad mouthed Terry's system to the media, and he isn't the only one not fond of Porter's system."
Apparently several players still in place feel Porter came in thinking he was coaching the Pistons, who choose relatively unprocessed assistant Michael Curry over his more trained bench counterpart. Nash went so far as to disapprove of Porter's run-off-turnovers-only edict during an impromptu, TV interview during a recent game break. If he did that in public, think how bad things must've been behind the screens.
"Considering the players on hand, I think Kerr made a big mistake bringing in Porter," the same source submits. "Terry had been with the defensive-oriented, slower-paced Pistons the last couple seasons. Kerr should have taken a closer look at Dan Majerle, Eddie Johnson and Tom Chambers, who know the team's personnel intimately, expressly since he already had a coach on the floor in Nash."
