On May 18, 2024, Beijing time, the NBA Suns held a press conference for the new coach Budenholzer, which was also Budenholzer's first appearance after signing with the Suns.
The Suns fired head coach Vogel, who had only been hired for a year, this summer, and selected Budenholzer as their new head coach and signed him to a five-year contract of at least $50 million.
At the press conference, Budenholzer made a horrific remark at the beginning, bluntly saying that he would be the head coach of the Suns no matter where the Sun was on the moon or where. Budenholzer said: "It's really unbelievable and very exciting to think that I'm going to be the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, and the most important message I want you to hear is that if this team is on the moon, I'm going to coach it too." If this team is in Alaska, I will coach, and if these players are the same in Denmark, I am willing to coach this team anywhere! ”
This exaggerated remark was ridiculed by netizens, and they rushed for this $10 million annual salary, of course, they had to go in any city!
Suns general manager James Jones also attended the press conference, and when asked about the Suns trade at the press conference, Jones was very positive that there is no plan to trade Durant, Booker and Beal, and the team will continue to look for players who can improve the team's strength and will continue to strengthen.
This means that the Suns' Big Three will not disintegrate, in fact, it is not difficult to understand that the failure of the Suns last season made Vogel take the blame. The dismissal of Vogel can also be regarded as an explanation to Durant and others, and now that the new head coach has taken office, it has given them new hope, and if the Suns continue to perform like this this season, the Big Three will inevitably break up and reorganize.
The Suns had a lot of problems last season, the team's offense was chaotic, the defense was not good, the players did not know what to do on the court at key moments, the Big Three were not clear about the division of functions on the court at the same time, etc., and the system was not formed in the playoffs, and these problems will be thrown to the new coach Budenholzer.
Budenholzer also roughly replied to this at the press conference, and when asked how to coach the Big Three, Budenholzer said: "For the Suns today, what we want to do is improve the projection of the players, which will be very important in the game! ”
Belch! This answer reminds people of the entire past season of the Suns, in addition to shooting or shooting, it seems that shooting is left on the offensive end, and now Budenholzer has not officially coached the team, thinking about how to improve the Suns' projection ability, in the case of Durant, Booker, Beal, Allen, Gordon and O'Neal, etc., this group of projection-based players, actually thinking about how to improve their projection ability? Isn't that ridiculous!
The biggest problem for the Suns is defense, in the series against the Timberwolves in the playoffs, the defensive intensity cannot match the opponent at all, not only that, but under the high-intensity confrontation, Booker, who has a stable shooting in the regular season, is completely defense-free, and it is too naïve to want to win by projection.
This is not difficult to understand, when in the Bucks team, there were players like Brother Alphabet who could impact and assist, what the Bucks needed to solve was of course projection ability, Brother Alphabet's shooting needs to be solved, Brother Alphabet broke through the impact of the inside line, and could create empty shooting opportunities for other players, and other players needed to be able to throw the ball in, which also needed projection ability! However, if you want to use this set with the sun, it is obviously not suitable.
Budenholzer didn't mention the team's defense at all, and let's not forget that Budenholzer was fired from the Bucks because he didn't solve the team's defensive problems, and when he came to the Suns, it is estimated that the defense will not be much better.
On the question of whether the Suns will add point guards, Budenholzer chose a tactical answer, and Budenholzer said: "There's no doubt that we need to look at the whole lineup and talk about point guards, and I'm sure it's a hot topic. We're going to be able to play without a point guard, we might need a point guard, we need to have all kinds of patterns, play in different combinations. ”
It can be seen that the Suns do not seem to have any intention of finding a point guard, and it is also clear that if the Suns do not break up the system of Durant, Booker and Beal, then where will they find a point guard? It's impossible to use this point guard to partner with the Big Three plus Nurkic so that the lineup becomes smaller, and certainly not for Beal to play off the bench.
Although Budenholzer has a big contract, he is left with a mess, and if the new season can't solve these problems for the Suns, he may follow in the footsteps of Vogel and just play a round.
