Man I don't usually listen to Phoenix sports radio, but these dudes are just full of hot air. Calm down, dudes. Dayum. Just speaking to hear yourself talk.

Gambo hasn't had any news about trades or possible head coaching replacements

next segment on Sarver - see what they say - as after this, they probably talk about the Cardinals

I stopped listening to the local guys a couple years ago and just hit the podcasts that i like. Best decision ever.

McD did well in similar crappy situations with Dragic and the twins. Hope he will get something good for Bledsoe. He really needs to make some good move to not look like a complete joke.

Come on Cavs! You know Bled would keep LeBron in Cleveland! This Nets pick surely won't be very high! ;)

It was an absolute gimme trading Bledsoe on draft night and McD passed. This is the result. Very poorly handled, again.

Ryan, how do you go about evaluating and looking for a new coach in the future?


Well, we hope it's coach Triano...we made him the interim head coach...one of the reasons we made the change this early was to give Jay and his staff the best opportunity to make the changes they want to make and to grow and develop for the next 6 months.
We have 79 games left....

That's the pick where Donovan Mitchell was taken too, though he hasn't played well this season. Looked good in summer league though.

Hate to bring more negativity here, but I think the market will be very sour. Luckily McD is doing his best to get the best he can but Phx cant let this drag on and I expect Milwaukee and Denver to be very stingy regarding their young players. I imagine they settle for whoever offers them low hassle contracts and a first round pick.

its not really interim if you are head coach for 79 games

I think if they get low balled and don't get anything worthwhile at all they will be fine letting Bledsoe sit at home and wait until Dec/Jan when more guys become available like Teague, Hill, and anyone else signed this offseason.

Zero reason to just trade him quickly if you're not getting anything back. Why would you?

I mean I don't expect much more than a first and matching contracts, and no real bad deals. Maybe a youngish player instead of first...or if it's a late first maybe a useful player.

It is if you’re the boss and don’t want to pay him “Head Coach” money :wink:

Either we get a good offer or Bledsoe sits until the deadline.

Ummmm, what's going on here? I'm not sure what we'd even offer.

I just read on Twitter that Knicks are not offering Ntilikina/Gomez and Bucks are not offering Maker.

Triano staying all year long. Another cheap contract as a HC, what a surprise...

Don't be surprised. This team is not ready for a proper coach.

Clippers....don't really want anything.

Celtics....what the..???

Knicks....not really crazy about any of them. Would have been SO much more valuable to trade Bledsoe in the offseason for their draft pick and get to make the selection ourselves

Yeah, that's out of left field. Why the hell would the Celtics want Bledsoe? That has to be a typo. I can't even imagine who they would trade for him. 3 point guards already and you seem pretty high on all of them. Two on rookie contracts.

It's probably smart to wait until the offseason when there are a lot more options but they sure as hell better interview a bunch of people and not just hire Triano.

I don't think that Montemayor is a legit source, but the Celtics can offer Smart or Rozier and a filler.
