Transcript

00:00uh mike budenholzer uh doesn't have to do any work i guess for the next few years my gosh they paid

00:05him a lot of money to sit home did phoenix make the right call here after such a short period of

00:11time because i mean this is basically the third coach firing in a month that i can't figure out

00:17yeah and it's it's the i think it's like the eighth coach that devin booker is going to have

00:22in his career which is insane to think about uh you know this is a bad bad bad look anytime and

00:28craig you know this anytime you get an owner that sort of mixes in with what's happening on the court

00:34and is meddling with the team and sort of building this unit as much as uh matt ishbia has so far since

00:41he's had the sons like he's he's only had the sons for a couple of years and i feel like we've talked

00:45about him more than what's on the court his decisions you know the the trade to get bradley

00:50beal mortgage mortgaging the future now the team doesn't even make the playoffs and would you could

00:55you imagine that this team didn't even make the play in like they give you 10 teams you know how

00:59bad you have to be to not be one of the top 10 teams in a conference and this team has a bradley

01:03beal kevin durant and devin booker all three of whom you would say are probably top 50 players in the

01:09nba and they still couldn't be one of the top 10 teams in the western conference like that's a bad

01:14look so boot noser being fired shows that hey you know he just didn't click with the players but if

01:19you're mike boot noser that is a great gig to get like give me that gig let me be the next head

01:24coach of the phoenix suns if you're going to pay me you know 50 million dollars for the next five

01:28years and for the years i'm just going to sit at home and do nothing like that's great i want that

01:32job uh but i wonder if mike boot noser does get another job after this because this is not you know

01:36that's not what you want on your resume you don't want to be bounced after the first year of a long-term

01:41contract with a team that's as talented as the phoenix suns are on paper so i don't know how mike

01:46boot noser bounces back bad exit in atlanta if you remember a long time ago bad exit in milwaukee

01:52and now here in phoenix what's next for mike boot noser maybe he goes in tv maybe he tries to take

01:57one of our jobs but the bottom line is he's going to get paid for a long time and as for phoenix i

02:02don't know who would want to coach this team now right like you have an agent kevin durant you have

02:05a devin booker who's going to have another head coach a bradley beal who seems like he holds all the

02:09cards because he's no trade cause and you have no future like all the draft picks are gone so a very

02:15very tough team and roster to kind of build around i don't know what the future is like in phoenix so

02:19matt ishp is really messing this team around and if you're a phoenix suns fan you were happy when he

02:24got the team now i wonder if you're a little bit sad having him purchase the team because

02:28he is going to be meddling with this roster
