    Actually, Sarver's indicating it was Kerr's choice to leave. Interesting...

    Smart move by Kerr. Now his market value is high.

    Only for a media job, since he's a Suns owner.

    you mean, continue the beat-down? we haven't wronged them in any way that would require vengeance, unless you're thinking of 1992.

    Ludden and Wojnarowski report that Stoudemire's agent, Happy Walters, met with Kerr last week but hadn't yet received a formal offer.

    "Aside from the money, obviously an important factor for where Amar'e will sign is the direction of the organization, and Steve leaving signals a new direction for the Suns," Walters told the pair. "We need to see what that direction is. Amar'e has a great deal of respect for Steve, and so do I. Steve and [coach] Alvin Gentry made a great team there and now a big part of that team is gone."
