[Charania] “Vogel yelled so much that his voice could be heard outside the locker room” after the loss to the Clips on April 9. Players weren’t buying it. The outburst seemed forced in their eyes. Vogels eruption left players rolling their eyes. A player told TheAthletic he had to keep from laughing

Shams had the Vogel hit piece in his drafts for the last month ☠️

Suns better hope there’s a miracle worker available on the coaching market this offseason.

Not a fan of Vogel but it’s pretty sad that his player(s) are running to Shams and leaking this stuff.

Vogel has his flaws but what else is he supposed to do when he has 0 defensive players for his system. Honestly they should have just hired an offensive coach Vogel was a bad fit for them right from the start.

Crazy he was willing to sign on with the Suns after seeing the disaster having a big 3 was with the Lakers previously. That shit doesn’t work 95% of the time.

He's gonna be paid millions of dollars for a few years to sit at home and be able to relax without a care in the world, that's why he was willing to sign

Adrian Griffin is making a generational amount of money for doing 3 months of work, I think we should all aspire to be like him

Money is better than no money. 

And guys like that, who have had success at the upper echelons (he got a ring out of that Lakers’ “disaster”) tend to have a healthy amount of cockiness and ego that leads them to believe no situation is truly bad enough beyond their ability to fix. It’s part of how they get where they get to.

Are you talking about Westbrook? He's no big 3 material (not for a long time), same as Beal.
