CP3 injured every year Ayton the big baby playing like trash no depth all traded for Durcan’t skape goat fire Monty PHX will regret this great coaches aren’t easy to come by
Monty doesn’t match the new direction / roster
Get Mark Jackson!!!
Bobby Webster better be on the phone with him already.
I am no Suns fan by any means but this feels like a massive overreaction. The Suns traded a sizeable section of depth for KD and this new team hasn't even had a full season to adjust together. Chris Paul also suffered an untimely injury during the playoffs.
Feels like one more year was warranted but I am no expert.
Always fire the black coach
Milwaukee about to have a good coach next year
bucks get him!!
Surprised? Getting FIRED is what he deserves. In the first place, he had players in his coaching seasons capable of delivering a championship but, he just cannot get them motivated as one unit to get that trophy. Second in line in getting fired should be the one who pulled the trigger on the Kevin Durant trade. Durant did not get the job done at Brooklyn, what made management think he could get it done at Phoenix?
Steve Kerr doesn't win every year. Let's see if he gets bounced. You don't blow up a process that gets you this clise to winning championships. Just ask the Nuggets.
Unfortunately i think firing monty was the best move for the franchise
DURANT FAILED THE SUNS
How are you surprised? He didnt use his bench at all in the series before. He ran KD and Booker into the ground. Minimal asjustments. Ti be honest it took for K leonard injury and paul george not playing for them to get out the first round.
Come to Detroit Monty! We'll value you!!
That coach didn’t deserve to be fired like seriously the suns made the playoffs and won the first round punch that owner in the face
Starting Shamet in an elimination game was the dumbest move I’ve ever seen. 😂
Let him go to the Lakers cuz you already know the Lakers are gonna find a way to get rid of their coach
He’s a good coach, an I think he will get another job but I think it was a good firing. This team definitely needs a fresh start. Also, mybe a coach who can unlock Ayton. I don’t think their window is that big but with discipline they can win a title.
Best move phoenix could do….
With all that talent he's gotten and they have gone knowwhere. The sun's Luka and the Mavs punked you two Yeats ago and now the Joker and the Nuggets…bye bye bye..
OVERRATED COACH.
Monty wasn't the right coach for this team anyways. Seems like his attitude is more in line with coaching a young team, not a vet group.
Deserved it to be honest he makes horrible adjustments
Suns messed up bad…Ayton was your biggest issue…he was a part time injury prone terd…..😂😂😂 Suns man oh man your GM is lost
If you couldn’t coach Durant then you get fired honestly and also you couldn’t develop Deandre Ayton that’s what made this happened
Bucks and suns fired there coach now they gonna switch coaches
interview him in toronto…..
Steve kerr better get the same treatment
he clappin that fsho
SAS is correct. Ayton got him fired, but Ayton will also get traded as I don't see the other players on the Suns respecting him based on how he played this year.
Not the better team. That simple.
The fud up w this one, they should of fired Jokic, that's who's fault it was!
Great guy, great mentor, not a good coach. His inability to motivate his team in elimination games and his horrible game management cost him his job.
Goodness.
This is why you don’t choose a coach based off their skin color💯 this time find a coach that actually deserves the position
Bucks New Coach 😂
Fired * that’s what they do, team sucks blame the coach
HE IS A GOOD COACH THE PROBLEM OF SUNS IS NOT THE COACH IA THE PLAYER WHY? CAUSE SUNS TEAM HAS NO DEFENSE AT ALL..
SUNS ONLY WEAKNESS IS THE PLAYER NOT THE COACH HE IS THE BEST COACH VERY SMART THE COACH HE CANT DO ANYTHING IF HIS PLAYER HAS NO DEFENSE ABILITY AT ALL IF ONLY THEY GET KAI SOTTO AND TRADE AYTON SUNS WILL BECOME CHAMPION AGAIN..
The Bucks should hire or Ty Lue
Coach Williams is not the problem! RELEASE AYTON first for 2 better players that aren't arrogant & that don't have to be told by team players to get the darn ball!
Suns are going to be the Nets 2.0 back when they had Durant, Harden and Irving.
What I'm trying to understand is how NBA franchises, specif8cally the owners, are so quick to fire a successful coach. Obviously, there's the possibility there's more behind the scenes involving these railings as of late. However, if the main motive is due to not winning the championship or, not going further in the playoffs, etc; than these framchises and owners are setting a precedence and theory teams up for constant failure. By this firing, what happens if the replacement coaches don't take these teams to the playoffs. Or the teams aren't as succesful next year as they were thos year? Do you keep that coach around after one season, even though, he or she might possibly have the same roster but couldn't lead the team to where the previous coach did; their record and the playoffs. And if the owner does keep that coach, what message does that send the fans. That the owner prefers mediocrity over winning. So many unanswered questions
Phoenix made a mistake fired Monty Williams
This is literally 'I'll put in a good word for u' episode 😅
Monty to Milwaukee might be a good move for everyone.
My sources tell me Milwaukee
From comments unfortunately, a ton of you don't even know who made the actual decision on KD trade or who made the decision to fire Monty Williams. Hint, none of it was via the GM. Be a fan, but learn more about what's going on in your organization if that's the case.
Try firing CP3 he aint never there when needed bring Monty to Charlotte please
