The Suns new owner has already fired more head coaches than the Jazz have fired in their entire history in Utah.

Pelicans fired David Griffin and hired Joe Dumars. It's time to treat the Pelicans like the Kings. Call them everyday.

The Suns owe Budz 40 million dollars to sit around.

Not necessarily. Coaching contracts don't work like player deals.

Budenholzer was a star coach when the Suns hired him, though, so I guess there's a decent chance that his contract was all the way guaranteed.

I mean, the details arent as publicly known, but they work the same way. I doubt Bud was signing a deal with non-guaranteed money given his status.

No they don't. Both sides can negotiate all kinds of wrinkles to coach contracts that wouldn't be allowed in player deals.

Very possible. See my edit above.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

No they don't.

They do, we just arent given the details of what kind of contract a coach signs. There are definitely fully guaranteed contracts signed by coaches that work the same way a player does.

I wonder how much Bud wears the stink of Phoenix's season in the eyes of his peers.

Usually most contracts have an off set clause that lowers the amount owed if the the guy gets another coaching job.

Agreed. But we don't KNOW what kind of contract he signed. Budz getting fired after one season is slightly more understandable if the Suns don't have to give him the full $50 million.

Whatever. He's another expensive dude who didn't pan out in Phoenix.

Nothing close to the GOAT Monty Williams. Didn't he get $70M to sit around? He was playing Killian Hayes to ensure he could get fired and go home lol.

So they work exactly like how NBA contracts work....

It depends on the wording. There might be wording in the contract that at each anniversary date another year shall be added if both parties agree. In other words a totally non guaranteed deal.

Wow thats awesome.

Wonder who would bite

Chris Paul played in all 82 games???

He probably has a ring or two by now if he could’ve done that once with one of the two or three good teams he played on. Funny how he stays healthy on a team that went no where in a pretty meaningless season. And at his age? Unreal.

Not that surprising. No pressure to perform, so he plays more relaxed, so he takes less chances and incurs fewer injuries.

Yes, who will be the lucky team to watch him sit on the bench for 40 games per year while filling up message boards with just how awesome the team will be when he is finally healthy?

Seems like his child's mother beat up one of his sidechicks lmao. According to the rumor that was the last straw with the Pel's FO.

Just in time for the lady luck to bail them out with another generational prospect (*knock on wood*)

The Suns are the team that would have been the worst team in the NBA to be a fan of this season imo. What a crap season and situation for that team and those fans
