    A joke of a league.

    It's all controlled by owners and GMs.

    Who should the league be controlled by?

    I would say the NBA is controlled more by the players than any other league.

    How many different coaches are they currently paying right now?

    I don’t see why any coach would want to take that job

    If I'm a FA headcoach I'm licking my chops to take that position. 5 years pay for 1 year of work for 2 coaches in a row? What saints!

    At the very least Ishbia puts his money where his mouth is. This will be his 3rd coach with 2 on the payroll on top of the highest luxury tax in history lol

    The top candidates probably won't give Matt Ishbia the time of day but all the other guys will take any NBA job offered. After all, there are only 30 of these total.

    I doubt Frank Vogel or coach Bud have any regrets about joining the Suns and being fired a year later. Guaranteed money talks.

    Those teams that are pretenders should have just signed the cheap assistant.

    For sure the idiots are those that have too much money and nowhere to spend it on......now they have an outlet.

    Who replaces him?

    Rocket River

    Honestly, Bud doesn’t seem to be a great coach, but this situation was just far from ideal. But it was a bad hire from the start given how the Bucks tuned him out and this team is a similar veteran team. Suns owner is crazy. Not sure where they go from here.

    I don't see how Coach Bud is not a good coach. He maximized the talent in Atlanta several years and then won a championship in Milwaukee. It's a pretty good resume.

    Jenkins -> Denver
    Malone -> Phoenix
    Bud -> Memphis

    Problems solved!
