Babby gets 2yr Extension

[lilfishi22]

His biggest mistake was hiring Lance Blanks, supposed "basketball genius"

Not especially happy about his other moves, but this is by far the worst.

[RunSunRun]

I'm neutral on this, don't like this front office, but its more Blanks than Babby

[DRK]

Ehh could be worse. We could've re-signed Blanks.

[BurningHeart]

This guy must be really persuasive. From a job as a player agent to this....he didn't really even have the qualifications to get the job in the first place and now he gets an extension after the team fell apart completely with zero cornerstones in place?

Sounds like the country, lol.

[cmw17]

This is hilarious!!! Cause he's done such a great job, he obviously deserves an extension! hahaha unbelievable. I can't believe this is the same organization from 8 years ago when Nash signed on and Showtime was revived. What a loser organization this has become. The Suns have become the new Clippers! The Joke of the NBA...

[Flying Colors]

yeah, i aint too shaken up about this, well see what he can do with an extra two year.

More good news for the Suns... thanks $arver.

Coro: "Babby was offered the extension Saturday and accepted Tuesday. Sarver’s endorsement means Blanks likely will stay on board for his last contract year and there is a strong possibility that interim head coach Lindsey Hunter is named the permanent coach."

Anything that helps us get in the top 5 in the 2014 draft.

Anyone see this from AZ Republic? Looks like Babby maybe cost us a shot at Grant working for the Suns:

There have long been hopes by many in the Suns organization that Hill would return in a front-office role when he retires. “I’ve really just focused on enjoying the last year, if this is the last year, and not focusing on the future,” Hill said. “We’ll get to the end and once the end’s over, I’ll start worrying about what I’m going to do from there.” Hill has remained friends with Suns Managing Partner Robert Sarver but his off-season experience changed his relationship with Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby, who agreed to a two-year extension Tuesday night. “It’s different,” Hill said.

Yeah its time for hunter and Blanks to leave. They together have made the suns the joke of the NBA. Please I beg you Babby send them packing. And if you go through American airlines you can save some money(Sarver will be happy because you saved him some money.

I wonder what role Hill would have wanted to fill in the front office. Team President? GM? Some sort of assistant role? I always saw him as a great bench coach and felt he'd be more valuable in direct contact with the players rather than in the front office. Hopefully, if he's still considering it, he will sit down with Sarver and Babby and maybe they can work something out. Grant may not be remembered most for his time in Phoenix, but he's definitely up there as one of my favorite Suns.

Babby was Grant's agent and a large reason why he came here in the first place - it's hard to imaging he did something to piss Grant off.

[Frank Lee]

GHill and Hunter played together for a few yrs as well.

It's why Babby came here or Grant? The sentence reads that Hill came here because of Babby. I'm not trying to be rude, just asking.

Never mind, I think I get what you are saying. Either way, I would love to have Hill back in some capacity.
