The Suns Solar Panel is putting the tenure of former Suns GM Ryan McDonough on trial.

The last two weeks we had him on trial for two other charges (did he leave the Suns better off, and was he terrible at transactions). This week we try him on the third charge...

THIS WEEK

This week, we try him on the charge of destroying the Suns culture during his 5-year (6 offseason) tenure as the Phoenix Suns GM.

Tim plays the judge, Dave the prosecution and Espo the defense with YOU the listener playing jury.

We argue our cases, and then the jury (live listeners) make the final vote of GUILTY or NOT GUILTY on the charges as a whole. We absolutely LOVED the interaction with the fans!

Watch it here, then vote below.
