Suns Select Porter

On Monday, the Phoenix Suns hired Detroit Pistons Assistant Coach Terry Porter. According to General Manager Steve Kerr, Porter is comprehensive. “The key for us was having somebody who would be balanced on both sides of the ball, who wanted to continue to push the ball and maintain our up-tempo style but could also help us come in and improve defensively,” Kerr said. “That's one of the reasons we felt like he was the right fit.”

Since 2004-2005, the Suns have amassed a 232-96 record. Regrettably, they have not won an NBA Championship. Kerr assumed this required alteration. Unfortunately, his assumption was incorrect. Mike D'Antoni warranted retention.
