I’m glad at least one person in Phoenix media is calling out Ishbia and his terrible nepotism hirings of his buddies unlike Gambo who’s defending Ishbia. No fan should show up to games next year. Let Ishbia enjoy his empty seats next year maybe that’s what he needs to self reflect.
will he be a puppet for the owner?
total bs hire
funny how i loved this team just 3 years ago, now i cant stand them
Thank you, Dan ❤
At least James jones is gone and Phoenix is where shooters go to die. The right move, because getting guys like Oso and Dunn are players who the Suns HISTORICALLY NEVER get. Defense is how you win, we have been chasing a title with offense is the way, and that’s the way to lose. The only way to win is defense. Ishbia has been apart of a championship and he has a championship approach with confidence. He is simply going with a guy who taught him how to be a champion. Everyone who is part of the suns needs to be taught what championship work habits looks like
Ishbia and Dumont competing for worst owner title.
Ishbia thinks that because he was a college basketball player that gives him the knowledge on how to run an NBA team? I was a youth soccer league coach. That means I am qualified to run a MSL team, too? Matt is a billionaire, true, and can spend his money anyway he chooses. However, remember the old saying '"A fool and his money are soon parted".
I haven't been a fan of Ishbia and stopped paying attention to the Suns once he did the KD amd Ayton trade. Just showed what kind of owner he was going to be…a horrible one who is a 2k owner that just wants yes men
Empty PHX Arena incoming
Great take Dan and Kellan👏🏀
Dark times ahead for us 😢
The only thing that makes me lose brain cells faster than Mat Ishbia is listening to Ron Wolfley talk about Mat Ishbia
He's a bad owner like Jerry Jones. Smh Terrible
So tired of Ishbia toxic positivity gaslighting tactics bro I don’t have a good feeling about this sounds like we’re most likely just running it back with a couple young guys added
Man I was so excited for Bob Meyers. It just seems like Ishbia is more concerned about retaining total control of the team. Is he one just another extreme micro-manager owner? The Suns desperately need a rebuild. I'd rather watch talented young rookies being developed over older injury-prone stars surrounded by a bunch of scrubs.
Please stop reading and speak from the ❤. Let’s give the man a chance
