GM should be next. No way 4 different coaches tried and the result is still disappointing.

james jones is GM in name only (anyways his contract is expring and they expect to hire a new GM)

ishbia and the ceo bartlestien are the big decision makers.

james jones pre ishbia made good moves and reached finals, and his picks have worked out.

Didn't really make much sense to fire Vogel.

They need to trade kd and booker. They were 3-17 without Kevin, let Beal tank. Should have just kept bud and saved some money.

The problem is the owner is a know it all former college player and he's running the show - the FO is just executing his orders.

They're trying out all the previously fired NBA champion coaches. Malone is 90% next up there, esp now that it appears Nurse's job is safe.
When the odds come out, I'm putting my money where my mouth is lol.

All these idiotic decisions are coming from the owner.

The only guy that needs to be fired is the owner.

Another example of a dumbass billionaire that thinks he knows things...

Lol Vogel has been scapegoated twice now, in LA after the westbrook disaster then in Phoenix after the Beal disaster

Yup. This is also why the Kings have been bad for 20+ years.

Mat Ishbia should be canned, what a complete mess the Suns are. He's a meddling sports moron. I guess Monty Williams likes him, getting canned netted him $65mil from the Pistons to coach his son's basketball team!

I thought I heard on the radio his contract expired, and hasn't been extended. So he's good as fired.

Can't see him getting another GM job anytime soon. Maybe an assistant GM, scout or advisor. Then again, most of the terrible moves were at the behest of that new owner from Michigan State.

Booker too i imagine. With their lack of assets and Beals contract it is gonna be hard to retool around him.

That nepobaby moron Ishbia has destroyed basketball in Phoenix for what might be a decade.

He’ll just continue to fail upwards while the fans suffer.
