    Suns fans are demanding a trade back to Brooklyn for their players and 4 unprotected draft picks.

    Go on over to "Bright side of the sun". It's complete meltdown and blow it up conversation. The only keeper is Booker except for a few apologists for DA and CP3.

    I hope not. He’s missing some quality gems, if so

    No reason to keep Billups right now. None.

    $$ he will get paid still, like stotts, even after being replaced

    So a new coach would mean double payment

    It's crazy to see the coach turnover rate in the assocoation

    Unless those recently-fired coaches don't actually want to come work here.

    Can’t believe they fired him. I guess someone had to be the fall guy. And I can’t believe CB is still here.

    Would some of you like some cheese to go with the Whine some of you are spewing ?

    Do not get me wrong Billups is not a great coach but also look at the teams he has been given too at best he is a C plus coach at this time. If changes on this roster are made and we see little to no improvement next season then he should be fired ASAP but I can live with him for one more year.

    He underachieved lofty expectations. Chauncey is being given grace due to bad roster. CB is unproven, we don't know how good a coach he can be but it's also premature to judge him yet. One could argue we don't have the luxury to wait and see and that we must have a sense of urgency in the HC department. I wanna see how he does with a solid roster, hopefully that happens this season

    Yeah, the Sun's new owner is an idiot. He forces a stupid trade and then fires the coach because it didn't work.
    Bud and Nic ..... nothing special.
