    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bryan Colangelo, Suns? President and General Manager, has resigned his position with the team. ?Bryan has decided that his preference is to leave the Suns, and under those circumstances, we saw no other option other than to accept his decision, ? said Suns Managing Partner Robert Sarver in making the announcement. ?At the time we bought the team, we agreed to a new three-year contract with Bryan,? continued Sarver. ?Dating back to last summer, I assured Bryan of my intention to extend his contract. I?m disappointed with Bryan?s decision but I wish him well.? ?I couldn?t be more excited about the future of our team,? Sarver said. ?With Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Amar? Stoudemire and Mike D?Antoni, our team continues to be headed in the direction of the goal we all share, creating sustainable success for the Phoenix Suns and winning an NBA Championship.? ?We will proceed methodically in deciding Bryan?s replacement but in the meantime we have a tremendous basketball staff in place and they will take on additional responsibilities in the interim.?

    Yes. I am so excited. This guy is a vet at being a GM. We will now probably re-sign Bosh and I know COlangelo will add the right pieces in the off-season to turn our franchise around. Yes, finally we have a good GM.

    If you want to avoid drafts the last place you want to go is Toronto.

    man, what was he thinking? He had a good thing going in Phoenix, but now he has to start from scratch. If he doesn't have any success, then he'll start regretting it.

    I'm thinking it'll be Steve Kerr as our next GM. :no3: If there's any more UA people taking over for Suns jobs I don't know how I can root for them.

    Steve Kerr? I can understand as like an assistant coach, but i don't think he has any experience in a front office. As long as he doesn't really try to change the team, he'll be fine. A few good drafts here and there, with some good FA signings, and he'll be good.

    I hope he brings the Raptors back to respectability. This is a good move, and one that helps persuade Bosh to stay a little more

    This guy is really overrated, He hasnt made any amazing moves, he landed Steve Nash but if Nash hadnt elevated his game along with the coaching staff they'd still be going no where.

    He left for the $2 million a year raise. I don't blame him now.

He also drafted Amare and Marion at #9.
