Rumor: Porter is HATED By The Team

[mkot]

What a mess, a GM telling the coach how to coach...I really don't want a coach that is not tied to his style or philosophy and would just do whatever the GM told him to, but if he can get Porter to change up his f**ked up rotation or just let the team (Nash and Hill) run the offense, I'm all for it.

[impulsenine]

Thunder Dan for HC!

Fixed. I hope. I love that Thunder Dan is part of the team - and I told him so Monday night after that win - but it takes a solid decade of experience with coaching to even be on the radar for most NBA teams, and I don't know how much he'd be able to push himself on vets like Nash, Hill, and Shaq.

DB, do you think Kerr or any of his guys will be fired by Sarver? Or, is the drama more surrounding the coaching?

It isn't about Sarver...its Kerr and Porter at this point. No idea if there are any firings coming.

[Phoenix Suns]

So DB what's your personal opinon on the chances Porter might be fired. Would you describe it as below 10%, around 50%, etc?

(He just said he had no idea)

Oh my bad I meant his personal opinion, I'll edit my post.

There is no way for me to make that guess.

hello Phoenix fans.
Please believe I mean no disrespect here (Suns are my west coast team) and seeing what has happen this season is painful.

I just read something on the Knick board that I'm hoping someone here can either validate or disprove

(I'll understand if you ignore)

[Phoenix1977]

Um...what are we supposed to validate or disprove? LOL.

And...I'm 100% convinced the team is trying to sabotage TP. That was embarrassing last night and to watch Amare and Shaq play D...they literally stood there and watched guys go by them. They can't be THAT lazy can they? I'm pretty sure TP has lost the team. My contact said the same exact thing to me in an email last night.

Go team if that's the case

Check his quote on ESPN Daily Dime and the resulting comment:

He was particularly astonished by Azubuike.

"He hadn't hit many 3s this year," said Porter. "I don't know if that kid has attempted four 3s in a game."

[JohnVancouver]

I think Kerr would fully dismantle the team before firing Porter. Just my read - I have nothing to back that up.
he says today that he expects to offer nash an estension but doesn't know if Steve will want one - that may be completely honest or may be Kerr starting some early spin on it so he can say "We were wiling to keep Steve but he wanted to go"
Pretty much how he got rid fo Mike D - "He wanted to leave."

We need to shave Kerr's head and look for sixes

[albasuna]

Porter was hand picked by Kerr, plus they are close friends. I think Porter is going to stay here even if the Suns drop below .500

DB would you say anyone on the team likes Porter? How do the young guys Tucker, Lopez and Dragic feel about him? Or are they trying to get rid of him also.

[BurningHeart]

I'll say this before and I'll say it again --

If Kerr/Porter/Sarver trade or allow Amare Stoudemire to leave because of their ineptitude and stubborness, there's no telling what I'll do.

[TASTIC]

I'm PISSED that they're willing to stick with an idiot coach over an All NBA 26yr old big man

One is A LOT easier to find than the other

How exactly would I know that? I don't speak to the players often...but when I do, it's certainly not about if they like the coach.

[wdrummel]

DB I dont know why but these tards seem to think you are like Nostradamus or something. Just take it with a grain of salt buddy, they obviously don't have a clue as to how you come into contact with the tidbits that you pass on to us.

*Either that or they think you are Kerr, Porter, or a player on the team...
