now we know even more. The only one who could have "leaked" that story about a meeting between Bud and Booker is Booker himself, through his agent. Carefully worded as Booker being "shocked" instead of "angry" or "disgruntled" which would be more disruptive to the Suns team and to Booker's reputation. Nurkic was the first scapegoat of the season, Beal was 2nd, Bud was 3rd, Durant is the latest.
Frankly, though i'm not a Bud fan, i don't blame him for trying to apply some control on Booker-ball. He's the 6th coach who failed to round out Booker's defensive and decision-making game. Bud will be the 3rd coach to lose the Suns job in 3 years, so he should try to go out on his terms instead of catering to any of his superstars, as they struggle to even make the playoffs.
how bad could the Suns last 2 coach's be? They both won championships 2 years prior to coaching the Suns?
