  1. Kevin Durant TIMBERWOLVES next season 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

  2. Big Perk was keeping it all the way a million! Many NBA players are just a reflection of what is going on in society now. Soft, can't handle the responsibility or take accountability when in the wrong or out right play the victim card and blame someone or something else. The disrespect for a coach who has completed the mission is way out of pocket!

  3. A 49 win team that ran into a buzzsaw Minny team thats won 2 road games in Denver now and 6-0 in the playoffs. Not sure what you want to do? I think often times GMs and owners want to deflect their poor roster construction, at least clearly not the best roster construction, on the coach and make then rake the fall. Vogel and Ham are good coaches….i havebt heard a ton of actual criticism about their in game decisions so not sure what the point actually is of firing these guys.

  4. I appreciate that the media is now including GM’s and roster construction in these conversations because imo winning is a collective thing. Players get blamed for not winning when the roster is not up to par and/or coaching is lacking. GM’s are usually exempt and coaches who do bad jobs are called scapegoats. If all 3 are not working well together then you have disaster. You need the right coach (not just a good coach) a GM that understands the team and the players to buy in. Look at Phil Jackson a hot take might be that he was the right coach for those 2 championship teams but may not have necessarily won on the Cavs or Hawks. He knew how to manage superstars we saw the inverse on the Knicks

  5. Can we please stop giving KD credit for the GS championships in 2017 & 2018?

    Was he the best scorer? Absolutely… but KD has proven that any star scorer would have thrived in that system and helped GS win.

    Before KD went to GS, he couldn’t win anything.
    After Kd left, he attempted to form TWO SUPER TEAMS and failed MISERABLY.

    KD is not a winning player…. he’s a player that’s good enough to help you win if you already have the pieces ready .

    There’s a reason why Curry won before KD AND after KD.

    Curry > KD. its undeniable at this point

  6. You guys criticize coaches all year round and when they get fired you act surprised I don't get it

  7. Historically terrible 4th quarter team. Zero playoff wins with a healthy team with enough talent to at least compete. Clearly did not have the team’s respect.

  8. Perk acts like he was a good NBA player, buddy was below average and wouldn't play at all in today's NBA.

  9. As a Mavs fan, i shouldn't be talking, but this is wrong. Blow that team up, and maybe You’ll be better in the future.

  10. Frank never should've gotten the job. He was only hired because of Deandre Ayton. Deandre Ayton left, so what was his purpose with the Suns? Anyone who knows Frank's history knows that he NEEDS a C like DA to run his famed defensive schemes. With him being terrible offensively, it just made the team look even worse.

  11. I’m sorry dude. I’ve tried making excuses for KD. Such talent. But man is he a lil b***h. Most of the players are, like why? It confuses tf outta me

  12. The Suns situation is slightly different than LA. This just screams that Phoenix is impatient. While LA did a horrible job building a team, we all could see Ham had issues with the basics of coaching. Yes, LeBron did him no favors but i recall everyone saying earlier this year that Ham needed to go. Vogel on the other hand only got a year and nothing he asked for. That has to be owned by the GM and KD.

  13. Susper stars are paid all this money and never takes accountability but takes credit when they win….I honestly felt bad for Frank Vogel ….

  14. kinda wished steve kerr got fired too. how the hell do u get bounced in the first round last year. then not even make the playoffs this year? also the regular season wins has been horrible.

  15. Who these commentators think they are? Human resources? Lol You don't have power to say who deserve firing. He been fired before lol for a reason!!

  16. KD, Book, Beal ain't winning anything together. Frank deserved another year. I usually don't agree with Perk but he nailed this.

  17. Typical ESPN NONSENSE . 1 . ESPN == KING of the ' ARM CHAIR COACHES ' 2. PERKINS was the Consumate THUG PLAYER at BOSTON . The HATCHET MAN with ?? 12 FOULS per Game or More ??? If these ESPN DRAMA CREATING QUEENS are so Good at Running Teams…APPLY 4 an Actual FRONT OFFICE JOB N the NBA .

  18. I NOMINATE THIS MAN FOR PERKIN'S ESPN JOB . DO I HAVE A 2nd ???

    For everyone who claims Vogel didn't deserve to get fired I challenge you to watch all four of the Suns playoff games and tell me what adjustments Vogel made from game 1 to game 4 on either end of the floor. Point out how many ATO's he drew up in four games that actually worked. How many plays were drawn up to get Durant in space against KAT. What actions did the Suns use to get McDaniels and Walker off of Devin Booker. He's a defensive minded coach who couldn't maximize the offensive talent of two of the top ten scorers in the league. He had one of, if not the greatest, scorers in history standing in the corner watching Booker run pick n rolls with Nurkic; no mid post or elbow actions, no flares or pin downs, no two man game with Durant and Booker. He's not a creative enough offensive mind for THIS team.

  19. I thought he was gonna complain about white head coaches in the NBA. Seems to be his M.O.

    Then he comes out with this take and blames the lack of accountability and professionalism of the players and I think im in the bizarro world.
