Suns hire Igor Kokoskov

probably a good, cheap, player development guy, to get them through their rebuild.

in 3 years when they're ready for the playoffs he'll get the boot.

 

So they're drafting a Serbian apparently.

 

I wonder if/how the young guys on the Suns roster will deal with him, or better, how he'll deal with them.

 

I heard he’s really Igor to meet the players

 

Russian troll to troll Suns fans some more.

 

He is Serbian, lol.

 

He is one of the best European coaches who got enough burn as an assistant in NBA to transition smoothly to head coach position.

He famously won last year's Eurobasket title with our NT Slovenia. It was his first big competition with our NT and Dončić's coming out party.

We weren't favourites at all, especially with some great players retiring. Our bench was the laughing stock of first few games. Then we went undefeated to claim the title. To give you a comparison, it's the equivalent of Utah Jazz winning whole thing this year in NBA. Coincidentally, he's been Utah's assistant coach until now. Well, probably until end of the series.

 

What's the odds..
sun mascot is a Gorilla, and Koko happens to be a celebrity name to a Gorilla too

 

with JB off the market now the lower tier free agents are getting offers

 

I think this is a really good hire and he is very well regarded.

Does he start now or finish the playoffs first?

 

This guy, right?



Ballsy move hiring an ex death eater.
