His background is more in the mold of a Sam Presti, the Oklahoma City GM who was groomed in the San Antonio front office. McDonough does not have a player’s background but has shown acumen for the advanced metrics that the Suns want to emphasize after making investments toward that in the past year. He is known for his work ethic and his parts in drafting Avery Bradley and making a draft-day trade with the Suns to get Rajon Rondo.
Contrary to a report on Robert Sarver wondering if its time to "cash out" there is zero truth to it. The Phoenix Suns are not for sale.

From a source close to Robert Sarver...but yeah, it's not like Sarver has said things and then done other things in the past. We'll see how it plays out IRL vs on Twitter.
"I don’t know Lon [Babby] and I don’t know Robert [Sarver] that well. Robert has always treated me good, but the notion that I will let Lon and Robert tell me about basketball players that’s not going to happen. I can tell you that right now."
If Phil Jackson could stomach a move to the valley he might find exactly what he's looking for.
The GM search began this week with the Suns considering Milwaukee assistant GM Jeff Weltman (a finalist in 2010 when Blanks was hired), former Indiana Pacers GM and Arizona graduate David Morway and former Lakers assistant GM Ronnie Lester. Assistant GMs Ryan McDonough (Boston), Wes Wilcox (Atlanta) and Troy Weaver (Oklahoma City) are potential candidates too.
An outsider's view of Blanks and the bigger Suns picture.
Here is a highlight reel for the season of my favorite determined, versatile wing.
"I never expect fans to feel sympathetic about it," O’Neal said. "We should pay taxes like everybody else. We should pay more because we make more. I voted for President Obama, but I knew his focus was to come after people like myself. The majority of our country is struggling. If you have to pay more taxes to bring down the deficit and spread the wealth, I’m all for it. I’m blessed to make a lot of money."
Great profile on Arizona's own MMA Champion, Benson Henderson.
Hey guys, a little something I wrote about Kobe and the Lakers. A lot of you will probably disagree with the conclusion I reached, but I thought it was worth sharing anyway. I surprised myself with how much I was inspired to write, and what I ended up writing. Hope any readers enjoy (feel free to comment here or at my blog)
