    Haven't seen an article or link yet. ESPN had it on the reader board. Good for him and good for the Suns. He used to be neighbors with my best friend and you will never meet a more humble, selfless human being.

    I wish him the best, but working for the Suns sure seems like a crap job.

    Not sure about that. They have another pretty good chance at a #1 pick. They have a solid beginning. You add a good coach like Monty and it might become a great situation?

    Jay Triano, Earl Watson and now Monty Williams....there's a theme with the Suns and their coaching picks....they were hot for Stotts when we got swept last season by New Orleans...Stotts would've been their coach if we'd fired him back then.

    Really glad Monty gets another shot. He should be great with the Suns' young talent. Watch out for them in a couple of years.

    I wish the Sun's had traded us their training staff for Nate McMuffin back then.

    It all worked out though. No more Nate. And the Blazers Brass finally pulled their heads out of their Brass Ass and replaced all the trainers and medical staff with the best in the business. Took them far too long.

    :cheers:

    I think Monty has a good chance to grow I hope they cut him some slack for 2-3 years to see what he can make of the team.

    I like Monty a lot...on and off the court...he's a good choice by a team that needs a fresh start.
