back in 1993, the first round series was best of 5... so one more loss means the suns get eliminated in the 1st round. ]]> Suns/NBA sunsdotcom http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?3184-What-were-your-thoughts-when-1-Suns-were-down-0-2-vs-8-Lakers-in-1993 Suns Coaching Search http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?3183-Suns-Coaching-Search&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 22:10:22 GMT Think it deserves its own thread.

Here is the first I have heard of interviews...

Suns to interview Kelvin Sampson and are reportedly interested in Quinn Snyder.

You I'm not impressed with either of these guys. Maybe its the fact that Kelvin Sampson was fired and left Indiana in shambles after breaking multiple NCAA Rules
and Quinn Snyder flamed out in Missouri and broke a bunch of NCAA Rules before he was forced to re-sign there as well. I realize the NBA isn't the NCAA, but It speaks to a guys character IMO when they do that. For what its worth I think Sampson has the better track record in coaching, but I'd be more open to Snyder who was most recently an assistant for CSKA MOSCOW. ]]> Suns/NBA SunsFan4Life http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?3183-Suns-Coaching-Search WCF: San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?3182-WCF-San-Antonio-Spurs-vs-Memphis-Grizzlies&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 09:47:35 GMT Let's get your predictions in now.

They changed the court last season but I read that they didn't put in for uniforms in time and so they're coming this year. I've heard that they may be going away from purple as witnessed in the new court design. In my mind though, you can't get better than this classic look:

These are three I'd be interested in bringing on board at a reasonable price.

Timofey Mozgov (RFA) - Nuggets can't actually re-sign him, can they?
Cole Aldrich (UFA) - Should be cheap, could be a starter for us
Corey Brewer (UFA) - May not be cheap, but would be a huge upgrade at SF

You could make them somewhat realistic, at least keep them in context of the salary cap and even if they are far fetched for one reason or another, make them at least possible.

I've seen some guys think that the Suns should go after both Paul and Howard. Well, make it happen within the salary cap and tell us how that happens, without the Suns giving up their future assets in the process. Others have advocated trading players on the Suns for possible players on other teams. What is your dream scenario, where the stars are all aligned in the Suns favor and the other GMs temporarily lost their mind.

But recently, a number of long-time posters (and even some less frequent posters whom I remember from years back) have been returning to the site. As far as I can tell, this pilgrimage was composed of two distinct waves:

1. The wave that followed the firing of Lance Blanks.
2. The wave that followed the hiring of Ryan McDonough.

It looks like these two moves have inspired confidence in and hope for our franchise once again. The era of botched drafts, short-sighted trades or idiotic signings that began in 2005 may finally have come to a close. A collective sigh of relief for the fan base.

May time make up for the last 8 years of incompetence under Robert Sarver.

Phoenix Suns forward Michael Beasley has found himself in the news, and once again it's not for something positive.
Scottsdale Police confirmed they are investigating the 24-year-old for alleged sexual assault. According to police, the allegation stems from an incident that occurred on Jan. 13, 2013.

Police say the investigation is ongoing, and they are processing evidence and determining whether or not they plan to file criminal charges against Beasley.
If the case has any legs to it, what is the appropriate action for the Suns to take regarding Beasley? Cut him? Bench him? Try to void his contract? What is even legal under the CBA? ]]> Suns/NBA Mori_Chu http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?3175-Michael-Beasley-accused-of-sexual-assault Suns hire Ryan McDonough as new GM http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?3174-Suns-hire-Ryan-McDonough-as-new-GM&goto=newpost Tue, 07 May 2013 19:33:22 GMT The Phoenix Suns announced Tuesday that they have hired Ryan McDonough as their new general manager.
