Which is why I am shocked we haven't considered Jerry Stackhouse.

But yeah I understand that line of thinking.

Yea, no *paying homage to Bud*

Gambo on Twitter verified that this is his reporting. Hopefully he's just wrong. Would be a disgusting hire

Sounds like something you throw out there a night before nurse is in milwaukee n coming from a suns writer geez lets stir the pot alittle if nurse leaves milwaukee tomorrow without being signed then ill be nervous.
Saw something on this board today thst said griffin is no longer in the running

If Giannis wants to pick the coach, make him sign another extension right now, then sure, he can pick the coach.

I mean, fair. But I also wouldn’t put it past the guy who thinks not winning a title and losing in the first round isn’t a failure.

Not sure what that has to do with anything here. Maybe Griffin is a great coach. Seems like by far the riskiest option to me.

Giannis isn’t really much of a basketball IQ guy, is the point.

I would be willing to bet any team looking for a coach that also has a player like Lebron, Giannis, Steph, Jokic would want the input of them. Doesn't mean we have to pick that coach.

Isn’t Gambo not even credible with Suns stuff anymore because his main sources were around Sarver? Why would he know anything on the Bucks?

This kinda seems like him throwing **** against the wall and if he’s right he gets to own that. If we get Nurse nothing comes of it.

Followed Gambo since the MCW trade days. He generally knows his stuff and has good sources.

That said, this could be the PHX FO leaking this to him, to derail Nurse from signing with Milwaukee.

Giannis has always maintained he's very coachable so unless that's wrong I find it interesting to claim he's butting heads on only one particular coach he would accept.

I can actually see it happening. James Jones will go for it

Is there any link to Giannis and Griffin? Seems like an odd thing to put out there.

And if true I'm still on the side of not really caring what Giannis wants in this situation. What's best for the franchise doesn't have to be what's best for him and I'm sure if we're winning it wont matter anyway.

The brotherhood of retread coaches. A job for life, one will always open up.

Edit: mobile posting and phone autocorrect is not a good realgm combo. Apologies for typos, wrong words, and utter unreadable nonsense in advance.

Feels like at minimum there isn't a done deal with Nurse and the Bucks. He wouldn't be a finalist for Phoenix if there was

Wasn’t it odd that Griffin is reported to be a finalist. That name came out of nowhere.

Plus, Giannis may think Nurse would be a bitch to him.

Nah I think it's clear that Nurse isn't locked in. Griffin is the back up plan, he has Nurses Intel

Favorite Finalist?
