I guess winning coach of the year twice doesn't mean much to a new owner.

COY means you exceeded expectations which then becomes the expectations. When unable to match, you've underperformed which leads to firing.
It means literally nothing to anyone. It'll get him another job but when he can't win the lottery better than anyone else trying to win the lottery he gets fired just like everyone else.
Only people who win the lottery are good at winning the lottery. When someone wins the lottery, it’s time to do whatever they did because that’s the new way of the future. Until next year when someone else wins. Then that’s the new way. You can totally game the lottery. Just look at the last winner and follow their lead.

Monty's firing baffles me the most. Their issue was basically a lack of depth (gee, who would have thunk), a disinterested starting Big on a huge contract, and Paul's health. I guess I can see them trying to pin Ayton's "motivation" on him, but Ayton just did not want to be there at all. It's difficult to motivate anyone when there's no eff's left to give. Their situation isn't unsolvable. Just flip two issues to solve another and call it good as Ayton and Paul probably still have some modicum of value. As usual, the Suns ownership is going to screw the ship. Guess his firing was for the best. Dude in Detroit may be a killer hire.

Lmao It’s being reported that Ja is suspended by the Memphis grizzlies for another Instagram video with him, brandishing a gun. I guess two weeks isn’t enough to change your Life practices, who would’ve thought. Lol.
I think it's more the fact that they have very little avenues to change the team so a new coach is the biggest way for the new owner to shake things up.
Ja Morant has to be the dumbest person ever. I enjoyed his first season in the NBA quite a bit. At this point, wouldn’t be surprised if he was out of the league in 2-3 years. He needs a change in scenery, only chance would be a successful team with veteran leadership. Needs new friends/lifestyle cut and dry. Doubt he will make any of those changes unfortunately
Is Ja not allowed to own a gun or something? I get discipling for having it in a inappropriate spot (like drunk in a club), but is he not allowed to carry in his vehicle?

Forreal. Politicians are brandishing guns with their entire families packing heat and that gets them votes.
There is a massive disparity in this country in how we see black men with guns and white men with guns. In one case it seems like it is automatically assumed something illegal and nefarious is going on, in the other it's just normal behavior and/or just standing up for their 2A rights.

I’m confused too… the big issue with the other video is he had a gun on the road… which means he also likely took it to the game and having a gun at an nba game is a year long suspension dating back to the Gil incident.
It’s still probably not a great look of course and the guy would do well to lay low for a while.
