Holy shit guys is this happening? Please let this be happening.

realistically, I’d do a swap, Billups for Vogel.

X’s and O’s are one thing, Chaunceys best trait is he can get on guys without them resenting him.
Depending on the staff they put around him I can see why he’d be appealing to a lot of teams. At the end of the day, it’s on James jones to build the right team.

I’m torn. Should I pretend I am sad about this cause I fear my excitement is going to ruin any possibilities of this actually happening.
If Nurk somehow pulls this off for us, build the fuckin statue

You can have him! I’ll personally drive him to PHX myself. Be hilarious when they miss the playoffs with him.

Please please won’t you please

Is trading coaches is still allowed under current CBA? Can Blazers trade Billups to Phoenix for Suns’ 22nd pick at draft day? It will be epic if so.

Please, stop, don’t go.

Chauncey’s agent working overtime. Makes me think he wants an extension.

I will start baking PHX a buyers remorse cake

We have to be close to a parting of ways right? There is 0 chance all this is coming out and he is still the head coach. Friday news drop any one???

I’m shocked Billups or Budenholzer would get a new job before Terry Stotts.

really surprised how many are excited by this. Does it not worry anyone that actual NBA front offices can see something we can’t?

NBA fans in a nutshell:
Clamoring for a new coach when the team is in a rebuild and purposely losing games. When this is mentioned, they begin vague hand waving about “player development” and in the very next breath talk about how excited they are about Scoot, because he’s “improved so much since the start of the season.”

No chance they hire Billups over Bud.

HIRE VOGEL

How is this possible? I know Chauncey is good for the locker room vibes but come on now.
AniMonologues
Can they take Joe Cronin and Jody Allen too?

What the hell is the Suns interest in taking our trash

“The coach with a proven track record of winning is the top candidate but the players just want the guy who won’t make them run plays in practice”
Welcome to the NBA lol
urbanlife78
Do we have to chip in for his plane ticket or are the Suns gonna pay for that too?
TheHobbylist
If we ditch Billups and hire Budenholzer or Vogel instead, I will take back all the mean things I’ve said this year
WailmerFudge
If Chauncey leaves, Scott brooks probably becomes interim head coach for at least the next season, they aren’t trying to win.
