I know nothing about athletic training, but it seems these guys were better at extending veteran players' careers more than anything. Nash, Hill, other vets owe them a ton. People forget that Nash's body was totally degrading and PHX was able to save his career.

But plenty of our young guys have gotten hurt and remained hurt lately. Booker and Warren have had nagging injuries for multiple seasons. Feel like we've had a lot of stress/muscle injuries. I don't know if that reflects more on the players or the staff.

Pretty cool to see the Suns get rid of basically the only guy left in the building who remembers anything related to winning.

Sensationalist reply. ATL is a level headed plus positive person. He always has insight. And your attitude toward him is unwarranted and quite honestly, really confounding.

Gayle must really be opening the checkbooks if things like this are happening. Truly exciting times. I believe Griffin when he said his demands were outrageous at points, and Gayle said ok.

Now that the Suns' training staff is decimated, I would love to trade AD there and watch his body fall apart.

It's easy to wish Monty well there. Because it ain't gonna happen.

That's not on Monty as much as the Three Stooges in the front office / ownership.

The announcement notes that Monty is now the 20th head coach in Suns history.

For perspective, they have gone through six of those since they fired Gentry in 2013.

good for Monty. I'm really happy to see him going to Phoenix as opposed to the whole fiasco that is LA. I think he'll do much better there and I hope him the best


guess that means that Ty Lue is the next Lakers coach

That's the current rumor.


As far as Monty goes, I'm glad he has a 5 year contract but I think he's never going to have a head coaching job again by the time year 3 rolls around.

That's not on him, that's on exactly how dysfunctional things are in Phoenix.

He should probably have waited until next offseason when a better job opened up.

While they were in Phoenix, they should have also searched for a Native American Shaman to cast out the spirits from the Indian burial ground that the arena sits on.
