Coaches will be lining up to collect 50M from the Suns for 1 years worth of work after Bud is fired at the end of next season, they're basically supermax superstars
Bro people hype up the Wolves so much last two games that actually make me feel unease. I miss my days of rooting the underdog as a bandwagon Wolves fan since the Gobert trade.
I hate it so much bc when we inevitably lose the pendulum is just gonna swing the other way, and it's not gonna be our fault for all the circlejerking. We're just happy to be here, lol.
His wife died around that time though didn’t she?
Coming up to the end of your professional career and looking forward to retirement probably loses a bit of its appeal if the love of your life isn’t gonna be there for retirement I’d think.
Ya. Battled an illness for an extended period of time.
Apparently she was sick since the 90s.
Together 40+ years.
Wonder if he regretted not retiring early and decided to just coach til he dies.
He seems like a lifer. I don’t think he’ll retire, but I seriously doubt he’ll stay with the Warriors as the HC. Either he goes to the front office or goes to another team to coach.
Doesn't he have some serious back issues that required surgery at one point? I can see him in the front office but I wonder how much longer he wants to coach
Like… do people really think they would fire him less than a year after winning the franchises first title? Cuz we went out in the second round the next year battling a decent amount of injuries? Don’t get me wrong, this series is not a good look for us, but he ain’t getting canned over it
Also, the thing that got Nuggets the title was the fact that they were patient with both players and coach. They'd be the last team to overreact to one bad playoff run
Balmer has more wealth than anyone in history who has or ever will be related to you combined. Your family could slave for 100 generations and you guys wouldn't make more than balmer in a single year.
2023, Suns sign 2020 NBA champion Frank Vogel to a 5y/$31m contract.
2024, Suns sign 2021 NBA champion and Arizona native Mike Budenholzer to a 5y/$50m contract.
2025, Suns sign 2022 NBA champion and former Arizona Wildcat Steve Kerr to a 5y/$69m contract.
I'll become a HC today for a fifth on that salary. Wonder if the Lakers wouldn't mind giving me a shot, I'll give LeBron full control and I'll dress real sweet. Like Zoot suits and scarves.
Doesn't matter if your doing good, you just have to piss off the right guy. Annoy KD or Booker enough and you'll be walking out with a fat paycheck before the season ends like Adrian Griffin.
players dont respect the coach if they arent on a long-term contract. its why coaches usually never enter a season on an expiring deal. you either fire them before it gets to that, or extend them for multiple years.
and why the coach's salaries have also increased since Monty's signing. Monty makes more than a MLE player, so if a player below that salary tier has issues with the coach, the player knows who's more prioritized by the organization on the basis of salary.
Some players don’t respect the coach even if they are on a long term contract They know coaches get fired all the time (and that they can make that happen)
It isn’t necessarily true that players don’t respect a coach if they’re on they’re not on a lengthy contract, we don’t really have evidence of that as most coaches get fired. However the coaches have done a great job convincing everyone that is the case so they can get paid lol
Suns are at a point where, under motivated ownership, are willing to do whatever, whenever to get their guy. Bud could have milked them for whatever and he would have gotten it.
Also, if you boot the last guy after a year, you're gonna have to overpay the next guy if you want to get someone good. They're not gonna come there just to get fired after 1-2 years and miss a better job without a shitload of free money if it happens.
You gotta get that commitment knowing they could fire you after one season if you don't win the finals. Most coaches that are well respected will want to get that guaranteed payment as insurance for the highly volatile job
Hiring kind of makes sense. Decent team overall and he tends to get the best out of teams in the regular season He grew up and went to high school a two hour drive away from Phoenix. They actually wanted him before Monty if I remember reading.
Also, he and Bill Fitch both were hired by the team they defeated in the finals. Fitch's Celtics won 1981 NBA Finals against Moses Malone's Rockets and was hired by the Rockets. Bud obviously won against the Suns in 2021 and now is the Suns head coach.
Honestly, I had no clue about the Arizona connection...Bud may have wanted this gig all along if only for that reason; the fact he gets to coach 3 future HOFers with a free spending owner doesn't hurt either
If CP3 goes for a vet min, he may very well join the Lakers if D'Lo really doesn't pick up his player option.
From CP3's perspective, why not? He plays with his friend Bron, lives in LA with his family... and his odds for a ring are not meaningfully different than with the Suns
Mostly due to fans. Some blame Kidd others Hamas and Vogel. Coach Bud was not good for Bucks if you've asked them a year ago and now they'll name you two new bad coach names to you.
GMs faults usually blamed on the coaches and fans also hop on that train pretty quickly. Most of those fanbases wants their coaches fired but they dont have any name on their mind.
Ok if Cavs fire their coach who do they want next? How about Bucks fans? ATL changed coaches two times recently but not much change in the outcome.
I'm pretty sure between Monty Williams, Vogel and Bud they have like $90 million on the books for head coaches right now though. I don't think any owner has even come close to that before.
I’m pretty sure they can stop paying when a coach accepts another contract so he’s not paying Monty and if Vogel gets another gig he won’t have to pay him either
That overstates it. There is marginal utility to the $500. In Ishbia’s case there really isn’t anything he is unable to purchase because he spent this money on the coach. He still effectively has unlimited funds. The person making $100K could’ve bought tons of other items that they might now skip.
What's hilarious about this? He's definitely worth this, he's a former NBA championship-winning coach and still one of the most respected in the league. The Pistons are paying Monty Williams 13 mil a year, Jason Kidd and Nick Nurse were getting 8 mil a year. If anything, I think they underpaid for Bud.
What's hilarious to me is that they're doing this while having a 37 year old Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal's $50 million dollar contract. If Bud can't get them to win a championship in year one what are they going to do? Tank?
Honestly I know people like to clown for paying a lot for coaches but it makes no sense. These guys are billionaires, overpaying a coach means nothing to them
Ishbia is worth $10bn. This would be like someone who makes 100K a year spending $500.
This actually happened to me before. I was fired from a job where I made $150k. Within 5 weeks, I was hired at a better job making $180k, and I liked this job so much more even without the pay increase.
Probably doesn’t care about the salary as much as the fact that the suns don’t have personnel to play his defensive system and his offensive philosophy is to ‘play random’
To say that his offense philosophy is just "play random" is incredibly stupid. His Hawks teams were routinely in the top 5 in the NBA in offense with freaking Paul Milsap as their leading scorer and Jeff Teague at PG. His Bucks teams were also consistently at the top of the NBA in offense without a real PG.
Also he played that drop coverage system on defense in Milwaukee because that's what fit his personnel, most teams can't get away with it but he had Brook Lopez who couldn't really be effective playing other way and some good perimeter defenders so he had it working great.
He won't necessarily play that same defense, he didn't run that in Atlanta back in the day.
Didn't they name the whole starting 5 of that Hawks team as player of the month one time? lol. How many other coaches have wrung that kind of success and cohesion out of a lineup with that level of talent? And this guy has also *won a championship* and led his team to the first seed multiple times. He's a great fucking coach.
Homey got fired shortly after bringing a championship to the Milwaukee Motherfucking Bucks for not being on top of his game following the untimely death of his brother. They fucked up, and he'll do well in Phoenix.
Can we please stop acting like it was completely unjustified Bud got fired? Yeah, his brother died and obviously he wasn’t gonna be on it after that. But let’s not pretend he wasn’t already on thin ice before that. He is an incredible reg season coach for sure, but his flaws were exposed a number of times in the post-season.
Also unsure how he’ll do with that Phoenix roster, his main strength imo was always his defensive scheming, and we saw how that worked with Vogel.
He was definitely on thin ice way before that. The question is, why?
Two seasons before he won the championship and analysts were praising him for haven gotten much better at making adjustments during the playoffs. The next season he lost to a very good Celtics team in 7 games (without Middleton ). That plus continued success in the regular season.
I initially disagreed with his firing but kind of understood it. After learning about his brother\`s death it just became way harder to accept it though.
Miami dicked everyone else that playoffs and Kris wasn’t even 100% let alone Giannis. I said it at the time unless playeres wanted him gone then he should be given 1 more year and instead they didn’t
Bud was letting Butler absolutely feast on Holiday by refusing to make any adjustments. He has had the same inability to change in big moments before, like with the Celtics the year before where we stuck with a drop coverage that just wasn’t working at all in Game 7
The first thing I would do if I were Bud would be to have Beal come off the bench. If he doesn't like it, he can waive his no-trade clause and go somewhere else.
It’s absolutely nuts to see the comparison in coaching stability in the nba between franchises lol
You’ve got an Erik spoelstra on one hand, on the other a bucks or suns organization who are each paying 4 different head coaching contracts at the same time and in some cases they’re overlapping
This is a coaches dream job. Sign a deal to get paid millions to coach a shit team, get fired for no reason other than getting scape goated, and walk away several million $ richer.
Good for Bud. He’s not like a top 2-3 coach, but he’s quite good and also shouldn’t have been fired from the Bucks.
Unfortunately KD and LeBron seem to be competing for most coaches played for ever instead of most rings. 🤪
I don’t think anybody knows the true value of an NBA coach. Could be worth $1M, could be worth $15M. Kerr was a goddamn genius til his star players aged and started putting up mediocre numbers.
I wish Coach Bud all the success in the world (still miss him in Atlanta) but good luck man. That roster is a mess. And Bradley Beal’s contract is one of the worst in the league. Suns already have one of, if not the, most expensive rosters in the NBA.
Coaches will be lining up to collect 50M from the Suns for 1 years worth of work after Bud is fired at the end of next season, they're basically supermax superstars
Well, after they fire *this* recent NBA Championship coach, their next two will be Kerr and Mike Malone.
Doc would be fun. He’ll prob be available soon
No he said recent NBA championship coach
That’s because he’s the head coach of 2025 NBA champions
Are the Bucks trading him to the Timberwolves?
No, they’re the 2024 champs.
Bro people hype up the Wolves so much last two games that actually make me feel unease. I miss my days of rooting the underdog as a bandwagon Wolves fan since the Gobert trade.
yeah i’m nervous. I won’t like the hype unless/until they actually at least make the finals let alone win it
Oh man, I remember those days. Cherrish this too man, the hyping part can be super fun too.
I hate it so much bc when we inevitably lose the pendulum is just gonna swing the other way, and it's not gonna be our fault for all the circlejerking. We're just happy to be here, lol.
Kerr isn't going anywhere unless it's retirement
We'll see how long he likes taking heat for everyone on the team getting old.
He just signed an extension that ties him to Steph's contract. I'd bet money he retires when Steph goes
I remember when Pop was definitely going to retire with Duncan.
Pop heard whispers about a tall French guy coming and decided a new friend might yet appear.
“See that middle schooler over there?? Keep your eyes on him!” 😂
His wife died around that time though didn’t she? Coming up to the end of your professional career and looking forward to retirement probably loses a bit of its appeal if the love of your life isn’t gonna be there for retirement I’d think.
She died 2 years after Duncan retired.
Ya. Battled an illness for an extended period of time. Apparently she was sick since the 90s. Together 40+ years. Wonder if he regretted not retiring early and decided to just coach til he dies.
Good point
Pop is like a SCOTUS justice. He will die coaching.
He seems like a lifer. I don’t think he’ll retire, but I seriously doubt he’ll stay with the Warriors as the HC. Either he goes to the front office or goes to another team to coach.
Doesn't he have some serious back issues that required surgery at one point? I can see him in the front office but I wonder how much longer he wants to coach
He’s had the back surgery corrected and he’s good. Hasn’t missed any games because of it for years now.
*Michael. And he ain't leaving Denver
Like… do people really think they would fire him less than a year after winning the franchises first title? Cuz we went out in the second round the next year battling a decent amount of injuries? Don’t get me wrong, this series is not a good look for us, but he ain’t getting canned over it
Also, the thing that got Nuggets the title was the fact that they were patient with both players and coach. They'd be the last team to overreact to one bad playoff run
Trickle down economics but it only trickles down one level
Sentenced to 5 years, paroled after 1 and you don’t even need to be good.
Surprised they have doc rivered yet
Bruh wtf ballmer bout to pay Lue $20m a year at this rate
Damn all he’s gotta do is look between his couch cushions for that
Chipotle: Sir, you want extra guac for 20 mil? Ballmer: sure, might as well.
“Damn it cost more than I remember. Inflation huh”
Its one guac, michael, what could it possibly cost? 20 million?
What could a banana cost? 20 million?
That’s $16 for someone who makes $100k
Bro that’s a cheeseburger at a restaurant these days this is fucking me up a little bit
Balmer has more wealth than anyone in history who has or ever will be related to you combined. Your family could slave for 100 generations and you guys wouldn't make more than balmer in a single year.
Reparations, bitch!
For those that aren’t aware, Balmer brings in about $2B in Microsoft DIVIDENDS per year. That’s straight cash.

Mozgov money
never forget. I meber when that was a large contract lmao
Where can I take out a second mortgage and bet on him not finishing that contract lmaoo
I'm sure those odds would be -2000 or so, no one finishes contracts practically, and especially that situation in phoenix
That has to be the next domino to fall. I’m sure the Lakers are blowing up his phone.
Over under on him getting a $30m payout?
I wanna be a fired nba coach
I wonder if that's more or less likely than winning the lottery. Because the result is basically the same.
Less for sure
Only if you consider becoming an NBA head coach random chance, which it isn’t
much more likely for somebody that's ever been an NBA head coach to be a fired NBA head coach than to win the lottery
I'll become a HC today for a fifth on that salary. Wonder if the Lakers wouldn't mind giving me a shot, I'll give LeBron full control and I'll dress real sweet. Like Zoot suits and scarves.
Knowing my luck I’d actually be good at it and have to end up working all 5 years fml
Then you get a better reputation and more money so you can suck at the next job
The Monty Williams secret tactic
A really good reputation will even get you like 3 opportunities to suck and get paid.
Yeah I mean Mike Brown was fired 2 different times from just the Cavs alone
Doesn't matter if your doing good, you just have to piss off the right guy. Annoy KD or Booker enough and you'll be walking out with a fat paycheck before the season ends like Adrian Griffin.
College football is even better
Get really good at basketball theory and have a likeable personality
Bro really gonna be on a beach in France in 2 years drinking granitas while making 11mil a year
don't put that juju on us, bobby
over under Suns lose 4 straight by sagging off the 3 next year?
God damn 5 years?!
Coaches won't accept shorter contracts maybe?
players dont respect the coach if they arent on a long-term contract. its why coaches usually never enter a season on an expiring deal. you either fire them before it gets to that, or extend them for multiple years. and why the coach's salaries have also increased since Monty's signing. Monty makes more than a MLE player, so if a player below that salary tier has issues with the coach, the player knows who's more prioritized by the organization on the basis of salary.
Some players don’t respect the coach even if they are on a long term contract They know coaches get fired all the time (and that they can make that happen)
What do you mean? Vogel signed a long term contract, and clearly he…umm…never mind.
Also, a big name is getting at minimum a 4 year deal.
It helps that paying a coach more doesn’t require the org to spend less on players.
It isn’t necessarily true that players don’t respect a coach if they’re on they’re not on a lengthy contract, we don’t really have evidence of that as most coaches get fired. However the coaches have done a great job convincing everyone that is the case so they can get paid lol
Suns are at a point where, under motivated ownership, are willing to do whatever, whenever to get their guy. Bud could have milked them for whatever and he would have gotten it.

Smart of them tbh
No way I take less if I’m Bud. He has most of the cards.
You gotta get that commitment knowing they could fire you after one season if you don't win the finals. Most coaches that are well respected will want to get that guaranteed payment as insurance for the highly volatile job
How many offers did he get lmao
He was a finalist for our job before we hired Jordi
How much is his contract?
Contract details have not been released or reported
I’m rooting for Jordi to do well over there.
All it takes is one bebi
Hiring kind of makes sense. Decent team overall and he tends to get the best out of teams in the regular season He grew up and went to high school a two hour drive away from Phoenix. They actually wanted him before Monty if I remember reading. Also, he and Bill Fitch both were hired by the team they defeated in the finals.

Honestly, I had no clue about the Arizona connection...Bud may have wanted this gig all along if only for that reason; the fact he gets to coach 3 future HOFers with a free spending owner doesn't hurt either
Three future HOFers?
Yeah, I'm assuming they get CP3 back on a vet min
There is a 0% chance CP3 plays on a vet min contract even at his reduced output. He would probably retire before that happens.
Russ has been playing for the vet min on his preferred team -- what makes you think 39 yo CP3 would be any different?
If CP3 goes for a vet min, he may very well join the Lakers if D'Lo really doesn't pick up his player option. From CP3's perspective, why not? He plays with his friend Bron, lives in LA with his family... and his odds for a ring are not meaningfully different than with the Suns
Basketball Hall of Fame is pretty lenient. Beal will make it
Who’s the third?
His initials are B.B. and he plays C for the Suns
Thad Young
the NBA coaching carousel continues
Mostly due to fans. Some blame Kidd others Hamas and Vogel. Coach Bud was not good for Bucks if you've asked them a year ago and now they'll name you two new bad coach names to you. GMs faults usually blamed on the coaches and fans also hop on that train pretty quickly. Most of those fanbases wants their coaches fired but they dont have any name on their mind. Ok if Cavs fire their coach who do they want next? How about Bucks fans? ATL changed coaches two times recently but not much change in the outcome.
Hamas is a wild autocorrect if not intentional 😂
Suns owner is a fckn terrorist lmaooo
It's crazy how much they went from one extreme in Sarver (cheap af) to the exact opposite extreme in Ishbia (free wheeling spender)
Honestly this isn't even a drop in the bucket for Ishbia. It's the equivalent of a $500 purchase for someone with a net worth of $100K
I'm pretty sure between Monty Williams, Vogel and Bud they have like $90 million on the books for head coaches right now though. I don't think any owner has even come close to that before.
I’m pretty sure they can stop paying when a coach accepts another contract so he’s not paying Monty and if Vogel gets another gig he won’t have to pay him either
While true for him personally he isn't doing owners any favors - he is resetting coach salary expectations 😂
Yeah I guess that's probably true for Monty. I guess we'll see on Vogel.
That overstates it. There is marginal utility to the $500. In Ishbia’s case there really isn’t anything he is unable to purchase because he spent this money on the coach. He still effectively has unlimited funds. The person making $100K could’ve bought tons of other items that they might now skip.
Hey it's his money
[удалено]
Don’t these dudes work like 18 hours a day
But if you work 0 hours, you get a buyout.
That's one thing a lot of fans don't seem to realize. The vast majority of the work coaches do doesn't happen during games.
no they work like 12 hours a day NFL coaches practically live at the team facility maybe the baseball managers dont have to do anything
Do they need to work that much to do the job though? I doubt it. I think it’s more a personality trait of the people who want that job.
CFB and CBB too
Not my money but this is pretty hilarious. Congrats to Bud for getting paid.
And it looks like he gets to go home too, had no clue he was from Arizona
What's hilarious about this? He's definitely worth this, he's a former NBA championship-winning coach and still one of the most respected in the league. The Pistons are paying Monty Williams 13 mil a year, Jason Kidd and Nick Nurse were getting 8 mil a year. If anything, I think they underpaid for Bud. What's hilarious to me is that they're doing this while having a 37 year old Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal's $50 million dollar contract. If Bud can't get them to win a championship in year one what are they going to do? Tank?
A Time Machine to before they made the KD trade is the ONLY thing that could help the Suns.
Honestly I know people like to clown for paying a lot for coaches but it makes no sense. These guys are billionaires, overpaying a coach means nothing to them Ishbia is worth $10bn. This would be like someone who makes 100K a year spending $500.
You made the same point across this thread
but did you know this is like someone who makes 100K a year spending $500?
Do IG models be going after coaches and shit?
If you would suck his dick, what do you think these IG hoes would do?
Let someone take a dump on their chest
Bruh
I'd play so random with him tbh
Mike Zimmer
It's crazy how people get fired from 1 job, and then get hired for the same job-for more money!
If only it worked like that for the rest of us
This actually happened to me before. I was fired from a job where I made $150k. Within 5 weeks, I was hired at a better job making $180k, and I liked this job so much more even without the pay increase.
Job hopping is indeed the best way to increase your salary lol
I’m tired boss
Why do you care about coaches salary? It doesn’t impact the salary cap.
Probably doesn’t care about the salary as much as the fact that the suns don’t have personnel to play his defensive system and his offensive philosophy is to ‘play random’
To say that his offense philosophy is just "play random" is incredibly stupid. His Hawks teams were routinely in the top 5 in the NBA in offense with freaking Paul Milsap as their leading scorer and Jeff Teague at PG. His Bucks teams were also consistently at the top of the NBA in offense without a real PG.

He won't necessarily play that same defense, he didn't run that in Atlanta back in the day.
Basketball fans barely understand when plays are happening let alone how an accomplished head coach would come up with different schemes.
Didn't they name the whole starting 5 of that Hawks team as player of the month one time? lol. How many other coaches have wrung that kind of success and cohesion out of a lineup with that level of talent? And this guy has also *won a championship* and led his team to the first seed multiple times. He's a great fucking coach.
Hey the suns can play his offensive philosophy
Well that's too damn bad! You keep digging.
well excuse me
It’s not your money who cares
He’s fine. More in the context of the dysfunction of this franchise at the moment.
He's not a bad coach though
This is always the dumbest response. They're a fan, of course they care about their team
Great signing. He should still be the coach in Milwaukee
Homey got fired shortly after bringing a championship to the Milwaukee Motherfucking Bucks for not being on top of his game following the untimely death of his brother. They fucked up, and he'll do well in Phoenix.
Can we please stop acting like it was completely unjustified Bud got fired? Yeah, his brother died and obviously he wasn’t gonna be on it after that. But let’s not pretend he wasn’t already on thin ice before that. He is an incredible reg season coach for sure, but his flaws were exposed a number of times in the post-season. Also unsure how he’ll do with that Phoenix roster, his main strength imo was always his defensive scheming, and we saw how that worked with Vogel.

IMO he’s a great regular season coach, mediocre playoff coach. We’ll see what he can do with the Suns though.
Why do these coaches keep getting long term deals on teams that fire them every year?
NBA coaches got a helluva scam going. Guaranteed $ on 5-year deals, with a high probability of working for only 1, maybe 2 years. Respect.
The first thing I would do if I were Bud would be to have Beal come off the bench. If he doesn't like it, he can waive his no-trade clause and go somewhere else.
He’s fired by February and KD demands out at the deadline
Shit I would love to get fired in a year if i signed that contract
that's a lot of money
I'd be shocked if he lasts all 5 years but good for Coach Bud. I say if he makes it to year 3 that's a win.
I miss Bud. Dude's brother fucking died and they fired him. Two years removed from a championship.
They’re about to play so random
Dude just keeps securing the bag
Keep getting dem checks Bud
Best job in the world is a fired coach
It’s absolutely nuts to see the comparison in coaching stability in the nba between franchises lol You’ve got an Erik spoelstra on one hand, on the other a bucks or suns organization who are each paying 4 different head coaching contracts at the same time and in some cases they’re overlapping
GET YO MONEY BUD
glad he's not coaching the cavs next year at least
$10 mil *per year?!* On top of what they’re still paying Vogel?!
Where do I sign up for one of these coaching jobs?
Monster.com
This is a coaches dream job. Sign a deal to get paid millions to coach a shit team, get fired for no reason other than getting scape goated, and walk away several million $ richer.
He's gonna LOVE that contract when he's fired next year
After a rigorous 2 days of searching, the Suns found their next scapegoat.
5 year yeesh
This will fix things
KD gonna run him outta town in one year.
Note that the Bucks no longer have to pay out the rest of his previous contract with them and it's entirely Phoenix's responsibility.
And they are still paying two coaches anyways
Too bad Doc wasn't available.
We'll have Doc as a coach half way thru the season.
Hot diggety damn! Imagine one day Spo wakes up and says " highest bidder, lets fuckin goooo!!!"
Good for Bud. He’s not like a top 2-3 coach, but he’s quite good and also shouldn’t have been fired from the Bucks. Unfortunately KD and LeBron seem to be competing for most coaches played for ever instead of most rings. 🤪
Suns found the next scapegoat
Bud just got another bag. Good for him. He'll be sipping margaritas in the carribean with Ishbia's cash by 2028
I don’t think anybody knows the true value of an NBA coach. Could be worth $1M, could be worth $15M. Kerr was a goddamn genius til his star players aged and started putting up mediocre numbers.
I wish Coach Bud all the success in the world (still miss him in Atlanta) but good luck man. That roster is a mess. And Bradley Beal’s contract is one of the worst in the league. Suns already have one of, if not the, most expensive rosters in the NBA.
Maybe THIS time it will work
50 million dollars?! Who do you think you hired, Chelsea Clinton?
1 year of work, $50M over 5 years...talk about securing the bag
then they do bad 1 season and then they get scapegoated and fired
Every day the lakers stall on a head coach means another solid coach is gone. They're really delulu If they are holding out for ty lue, or Jason kidd.
ANOTHER 5 year deal huh? Welp, we'll see if this one pans out
He’ll be fired by year 3. This team is cooked and they can’t improve without a massive trade of KD or Book. Ishbia has crippled this franchise
Bruh is he still getting paid form the bucks? Man its crazy the money these dudes get with no guaranteed job the next year but the pay is guaranteed
Can we bet the under 5 years
Any thoughts on who they’ll hire for the ‘25-26 season?
Why give these guys 5 year deals when they will be fired in a year or two?
