Kerr steps down as Suns GM

SteveKerr 237x300 Kerr steps down as Suns GMFormer three-point guru Steve Kerr will not return to the Phoenix Suns next year as president of basketball operations and general manager. Suns managing partner Robert Sarver said that Kerr’s contract was up on June 30th and he had an opportunity to return to television as an NBA commentator.

Do the jobs of general manager and television commentator really come with the same pay check? We doubt it.

“After much thought and deliberation, I have decided this is the right time for me to move on both professionally and personally,” Kerr said. “The past three years have been exceptional for me. The work and dedication of everyone with the organization is tremendous and I appreciate the passion and commitment that Robert Sarver has for the Phoenix Suns and creating a perennial winner. I feel the team is well poised for the future, with strong leadership both on the roster and in the front office, and a good mix of veterans and young talent that will continue to grow together and succeed at the highest level.”

Sources tell the Arizona Republic conflicting stories on whether or not Kerr was asked to take a pay cut.

Of bigger importance right now is the fact that Kerr’s departure could affect whether or not the team is able to re-sign free agent Amare Stoudemire. Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski thinks that this will be a problem.

“Kerr departure could have dramatically negative impact on ability to re-sign Amar’e, sources say. Suns star had gained strong belief in him,” he tweets.

That remains to be seen, but if it’s true it could be the beginning of the end in terms of dismantling the Suns franchise.

  4. I’m not gonna lie, you’ve lost me here. I know that you meant well and you obviously know what youre referring to, but I cannot say that I get where youre coming from. In case you want people to comprehend your ideas, you ought to think about the other side of the debate, as well. Youve got a lot of know-how, I’m sure. But, rather frankly, you turned me off with your tone.

  7. I have to say, as much as I loved reading what you had to convey, I couldnt help but lose attention after a while. It’s as if you had a good grasp on the matter, but you didn’t remember to include your readers. Maybe you need to think of this from more than one angle. Or perhaps you shouldn’t generalise so much. It’s better if you consider what other people might have to say instead of just going for the gut reaction on the issue. Think about adjusting your own thought process and giving other people who may go through this the benefit of the doubt.
