After watching this Suns seeason, I've concluded that they need a defensive minded coach to fix that end of the floor. Preferably with championship pedigree so he can command the respect of his players and get the necessary buy in. A guy like Frank Vogel for instance.

TBH, these days I think that a lot of these Teams need at least 2 Head Coach-caliber Coaches, on their Staff.
Reminds of the Patriots, when they had Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel and Offensive Coordinator Charlie Weis.
They were both Head Coach-caliber Coordinators, under Bill Belichick.
And by-the-way, during their tenure, the Patriots Won 3 Championships in 4 years. IJS

I wonder if Austin Ainge will get any interviews for a GM position in another organization. I remember last summer, Austin interviewed for the Charlotte front office but they went in another direction. Austin has 15 years of experience as an assistant GM, it'd be nice if he landed a head job. One of the great downstream effects of the 80s Celtics success is you had all these Celtic-associated individuals running all these different teams, or head coaching them. Bird in Indy, Carlisle in Dallas, Ainge here in Boston and of course McHale in Minny. Having a front office "tree" with friendly branches spread out throughout multiple franchises can be a good thing, so I hope Austin at least gets some interviews around the league.

Having players who are ball needy. That can't or wont play defense is easily the cause.
To even bring up the amount of players that was rotated or the fact that a rookie started near mid- end of the year versus most of the year when they were still losing is pushing a **** narrative that is so easily false.
And that narrative has to be the dumbest narrative I've seen since joining this message board.

Jason Kidd might be next.

Chris Haynes: So league sources told me earlier in the season, Coach Budenholzer met with Bradley Beal, and he told Bradley Beal that he wanted him to be the Jrue Holiday of this team. Now listen—understanding that Jrue Holiday is a player who might become a Hall of Famer—definitely one of the best defensive players we’ve seen in this league out on the perimeter. But you’ve got to understand, like, when you’re talking to a guy, a player of Bradley Beal’s caliber, to tell him to play like Jrue Holiday—it wasn’t well received. That’s the way it was relayed to me. It was not well received. I think the better way to probably explain Beal’s role is to say: “Hey, this is what we kind of need you to do. This is what we want you to work on on this side of the ball.”
