But really I don't think Kerr did a bad job. I really don't care who's our GM, because we can't do anything with Sarver on board anyways. I like Sarver's attitude at the Suns games, but damn he wouldn't sign Lebron for vets min. if he had the chance.

I just hate how people don't give any recognition to what a great job Alvin has done to this team.

The reason I want Chuck, because I can see him cussing Sarver out when Sarver tells him not to spend money.

Thanks for the memories kerr. You were man enough to admit your mistakes, and we appreciate you for that. I hope your future live as a broadcaster/family man is successful.

Welcome Kevin Pritchard!! new GM of the Phoenix Suns!

I think the whole thing to be appreciated about Kerr is that, as stated before, hes able to put up will a cheap ass owner and still found some wiggle room to improve the team. Kudos to Steve Kerr.

DAVID GRIFFIN FTW!!!

BTW, i am curious to ask kerrsed.what will become of your name man??

Griffin is likely a goner too from the looks of things.

There is no evidence to support that Griffin will not be back, his contract is up, but he seems like a natural successor IMO. We'll see what happens.

first of all Sarver wont pay Chuck what Chuck would want for the GM job.. :lol:

secondly, just because Chuck would cuss out Sarver doesnt mean that Sarver is going to turn into a spending owner.. he is cheap he doesnt like to spend money thats his problem. Just cuz someone throws a tantrum doesnt mean Sarver will change bro : :-?

Its going to be painful listening to him on TNT now as I was just starting to like him as our GM. IMO, one of the better GM's that was out there for all the crap he received in the beginning.

Good luck to him

When the Suns were winning, you guys praised Kerr.

When the Suns were losing, you bashed Kerr.

If Suns keep Amare and start off the season by losing they're first 10 games, you guys will blame Kerr. Also, you guys will say how stupid he is for keeping Amare. *

If Suns keep Amare and start off the season with winning they're first 10 games, you guys will praise Kerr and say how he's so smart for keeping STAT. *

*pretending Kerr never quit

:lol:

I'm ready for you guys to start this pattern with a new GM. :roll:

If Chuck was GM and Sarver interfered with a deal Chuck was trying to do, Chuck would let him know he's a cheap ass. Kerr doesn't have the balls to stand his ground.

As long as someone has the guts to tell Sarver off is all I care for, and Chuck will :lol:

In the end, he did more good then bad. I can't believe he traded Shawn Marion, but the dude salvaged his mistakes and made some good decisions that paid off this season. We'll miss you a heck of a lot Steve, and for your own well-being, GTFO while you still can get off this sinking ship of a franchise. As long as Banker Bob is running things....bah.

This was actually a surprising move by Kerr.

That's not the way I'm looking at it. I mean weren't you surprised before you learn of the reason? GM's don't usually step down after their team has made a major improvement from the previous season.
