    Might as well bring in a young college coach or assistant coach, not a guy coming off a podcast with no prior coaching experience.

    Some comments online had people suggesting it was just the Raptors doing his agent a favor to give him "interview experience"

        I doubt he's a top consideration for head coach. At most maybe they'll even consider him for an assistant position.

        Becky seems like the main fave, but now with Monty available you never know.

          The biggest issue would be finding a team for Chris Paul

          Suns get VanVleet (who Raptors S&T), 3rd team gets CP3, and Raptors get some salary filler + draft picks?

            The easiest solution could be just going to Toronto in that S&T (and Raptors buy him out), but even that would have to require Suns giving up more picks to make it worth it, but then the Suns don't even have picks so that's pointless.

              He also has a partially guaranteed contract, so some team might take him to dump more money, or long-term money, even if they end result is waiving him for him to sign elsewhere.

                I still don't understand firing Monty. Where were the suns before he got there? At the bottom of the league.

                    Also seems to me like they were going to have to choose between him and Ayton. They weren’t sticking together.

                      Should of been Ayton.

                        Just like Doc will most likely be as well. When you're in a situation where you have a top heavy roster, no cap space, limited trade assets, and limited draft picks, I guess firing the coach is the easy decision.

                          I've not seen it reported anywhere, but a trade around John Collins for Tobas Harris seems realistic since Tobas contract is shorter. What do you think?

                            I agree but I think Doc has gotten stale. He just never gets over the hump. That game 6 where Embiid doesn't touch the ball for the final 3:55 is absurd. A coach has to recognize that. That's the series right there. Philly might be in the ECF if adjustments are made.

                            Monty is just getting screwed because people look at the stars on that team and think that team has to make the WCF at the least.

                              Ehh, I rather turn Harris into 2-3 solid players than one guy who might not be a good fit. Collins would have similar fit issues as Harris. Harris/Collins are modern PFs and PJ Tucker is best off as a PF. Harris role on this team this year was a 3 & D wing. Harris wants to cook at times. I want to say Collins wanted a bigger role as well. It almost feels like a wash. Collins is the better rebounder/higher energy guy compared to Harris, but Harris seems like the better shooter. Plus, I don't want to tie in longer money.

                                Like I said, I'm not a Doc guy, so I wouldn't be sad about him not being the coach. I wasn't too keen him getting the job in the first place especially after blowing a 3-1 lead. There's a funny joke about Doc. He can coach a great team to the 2nd half and fail, and he can coach a underwhelming team to the second round and seem like a success. So many times this year when guys were out, no one was surprised when they 'upset' reams because he does better when he's not forcing an issue.

                                I do think he got better with adjustments this year. But, I do think they could upgrade. He's still stubborn and isn't accountable. If he's fired, he's being fired for the what happened throughout his tenure. They need a no-nonsense coach that wouldn't be afraid to get in Embiid and the other guys face.

                                I don't want D'Antoni. I'm still more than okay with promoting Sam Cassell
