In the new season, many young teams in the east and west have risen super, and the championship pattern is very different from the past! When you see Curry missing the playoffs, James, Durant, Harden, Wei Shao, Brother Alphabet, Embiid and other MVP-level supergiants have stopped in the first round of the playoffs, you have to sigh: The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation beats the old! The Phoenix Suns have the big three of KD Booker Beal, but they were shaved out by the Timberwolves in the first round, which makes people sad and angry! The Suns spent a lot of money but suffered the most vicious beating, for many reasons, the responsible person grabbed a lot of money, but the owner of the Suns pointed the finger at the head coach and completed the change of coach with lightning speed!
$31.2 million in 1 year, Vogel got out of class
After the Suns were swept out of the first round 0-4 by the Timberwolves, the league generally believed that the Suns had no future, and the only way out was to gather and disperse, but the Suns owner did not believe in evil, and he made it clear in an interview: 26 of the other 29 general managers in the league are willing to trade their entire teams for our players and draft picks! We didn't get to the point where we were in jeopardy, we were talented enough to win the championship. The implication is that we have managed to get together three star players, and we can't negate our future with a momentary defeat, we will do whatever it takes to try to get better next year! I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Sun boss, and I don't know what other tricks the Sun boss has, at least from the current situation, he has chosen the simplest, roughest and most resolute method, and fire Vogel first!
Vogel just signed a five-year, $31.2 million contract with the Suns last offseason, and this big contract is a recognition and praise for his status as a champion coach, but not his talisman! According to a report from NBA Athletic Woj, sources have revealed that Suns coach Vogel is officially out of class. Subsequently, the Suns officially issued an announcement confirming this. In this regard, Hawks player Murray pointed out sharply: Why is the coach always blamed before the player? It's just crazy! That being said, there is no need to blame the Suns boss for being ruthless to him, on the contrary, Vogel earned a salary of 5 years in only 1 year, a full 31.2 million US dollars, isn't it a relief to get out of class?
5 years and 50 million US dollars, Bu Shuai took office
After Vogel's departure, the Suns became a hot spot, and NBA coaches such as Billups and Budenholzer were potential candidates. In the end, NBA Coach of the Year & NBA Champion Coach Budenholzer came out on top! According to NBA Register Shams, sources have revealed that the Suns have decided to hire Budenholzer as the team's new head coach! Subsequently, the Suns officially confirmed this, and according to Shams's follow-up report, Budenholzer signed a big contract with the Suns for 5 years and more than $50 million!
Shams hit the nail on the head: Budenholzer's top priority is to optimize the play between the big three of Durant, Booker, and Beal! In short, Vogel didn't let the Suns Big Three have a 1+1+1>3 effect, and Bu Shuai has to try! But then again, Bu Shuai's successful coaching resume during the Bucks period is also famous for defense, on-the-spot command and dispatch is a short board, and the Suns' Big Three are all offensive and defensive types, is Bu Shuai really sure to fry this dish? I don't know, but one thing is for sure, Vogel has earned $31.2 million in 1 year, what is there that Bu Shuai doesn't dare to try? If you really can't play this lineup, you will get out of class, anyway, it won't delay making money!
The most capricious boss in the NBA was born, and KD was too difficult
From firing Vogel to hiring Budenholzer heavily, Suns owner Ishbia's rich and capricious style of acting is jaw-dropping! Let's take a look at the 6 major operations of the Suns boss in the 15 months since he bought the team: first, use Bridges + Lao Huang Zhong + Crowder + 5 first-round pick transactions to bring in KD; second, to fire Monty and hire Vogel; third, bring in Beal in a trade of Paul + Shamet + 4 first-round picks + 6 second-round picks; Fourth, trade with the top center Ayton to get Nurkic + Allen + Little; fifth, use the first-round pick + 3 second-round picks to trade to get O'Neal + Roddy; Sixth, fire Vogel and hire Bu Shuai! In the words of the fans, Ishbia is the most capricious boss in the NBA and the most ruthless boss in the league!
I don't know if the Suns boss can make the Suns better after this wave of operations, and I don't know what other troubles the Suns boss will do next, but one thing is for sure, there is no turning back from the bow, and the Suns will continue to toss around the KD Booker Bills Big Three! Booker and Beal can choose to live in fear with a big contract, and this is by no means the result KD wants - since leaving the Warriors, KD has won the championship again and again, but has lost more and more embarrassingly, and is gradually moving away from the championship, the 35-year-old KD wants to prove again that he not only has to compete with the young people of the league, but also race against the old man, it is too difficult! This is the path that KD has chosen by himself, and no matter how hard it is, he has to finish it on his knees! Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
