The Mastermind Behind It All

Nobody can deny that Suns GM Steve Kerr has had a lot of success since taking the job in 2007. The Suns are in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2006 and have a good shot at appearing in the NBA Finals for the first time since '93. Sure he has made some bad decisions along the way. The Shaq trade which bombed. The Kurt Thomas trade to dump money, and the Rudy Fernandez trade for money. However, he has made plenty of good decisions too. He traded for Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley, and Goran Dragic. He drafted Robin Lopez, who a lot of people thought would be a bust. He signed Louis Amundson and Channing Frye. He resigned Steve Nash and Grant Hill, which trust me was a lot harder than you would think. He did not trade Amare when everyone on this planet thought it was a no brainer to trade him, and he hired Alvin Gentry who has brought this team together and taken them to great heights.

At the beginning of the season, there were a lot of pundits and fans calling for the firing of Kerr. Now the Suns are winning and his plan is starting to make sense. I for one am glad they stuck with him. He is a good GM who I hope adds another Championship Ring to his trophy case at the end of this year.
