BREAKING: Frank Vogel Firing IMMINENT... | Phoenix Suns News

We got some breaking news ahead of this Game 4 matchup as Frank Vogel could be on the hot seat for the Phoenix Suns if they lose this game. Adrian Wojnarowski came out on ESPN this afternoon and said that Frank Vogel could be on the hot seat. So we're going to be breaking down that, diving in. Is it Frank Vogel's fault or is he the scapegoat? All of that and more on this episode of Suns Digest. I'm Bruce Velez, but before we dive in on all of this news, 96% of our viewers are not subscribed, so if you guys want to make sure you stay up to date on daily Phoenix Suns news throughout this playoffs, as it possibly could be over tonight, or even throughout the offseason, there's going to be a bunch of drama, a bunch of stuff. This is the place for you, so hit the subscribe button for Suns Digest, but without further ado, let's dive into the topic at hand today. make sure to grab a snack but it is Frank Vogel on the way out as we just mentioned in the introduction the Suns are down three games to zero to the Minnesota Timberwolves game four is tonight and they could be the first and only team to be swept in the first round and that is crazy to think about because going into this series i felt that we were actually going to be able to be in this series even if we lost it would be at least six games maybe seven but the fact that we're on the verge of getting swept tonight is absolutely blasphemous and Frank Vogel could be that scapegoat could be the reason why as we see from Evan Cedary here there is an increasing buzz around the league the Suns will fire Frank Vogel just after one season of being their head coach as we all know the Suns had Monty Williams last season for a couple of years obviously making it to the finals it ultimately fell short for Monty couldn't really get the rotations down wasn't working well with this team they wanted a new coach and didn't feel that he was the right fit they went with Frank Vogel who had won a championship with the Phoenix Suns and or excuse me the Los Angeles Lakers in the bubble and i thought he was going to be a pretty good fit for the defensive mind we all know Frank Vogel can work very well on the defensive side and i thought hey we have guys like Booker we have guys like KD maybe he could be that change of scenery get a nice defensive big get some defensive wings and here we go but no the Suns went out and got another score in Bradley Beal have that three-man offense of just a heliocentric we're just going to keep shooting and trying to keep scoring it just hasn't worked especially versus Minnesota Timberwolves team who's very very solid on the defensive side very hard for the Phoenix Suns to even get to the rim people even get a shot contest off near the basket or even to set up their pick and roll because they don't have a playmaker because when Rudy Gobert goes or Karl-Anthony Towns goes to set uh this uh go guard the screen being set by Nurkic they'll just have McDaniels or Nickeil Alexander-Walker come in swarm trap and they'll get an easy steal so again this kind of team isn't really built for Frank Vogel in my honest opinion needs some more wings needs some more playmakers needs like a full new core and I don't think that Frank Vogel is the person to blame Adrian Wojnarowski came out on ESPN today was talking about it was mentioning the fact that Frank Vogel could be on the hot seat depending on the outcome of tonight's game and regardless if it is a loss or a win I think that he personally is the scapegoat I think that I know a lot of Suns fans are frustrated with his rotations in the playoffs he didn't really utilize them in game two in game one to kind of figure out some different game plans we did see in game three some new utilizations we did see Josh Okogie getting some run we did see some Bull Bull getting some run but ultimately i don't think the roster is built for Frank Vogel or even built for success in this Western Conference in my honest opinion the offense is just too centered around scoring three-point shooting and if this offense can't click and can't hit those shots especially with losing Grayson Allen to this ankle injury which has been terrible for them it just isn't looking great for this Suns team to even be able to handle this Timberwolves team on the offense and on the defensive side they are not looking the greatest so we want to I want to take a look over at the Suns reddit to kind of see what the fans were thinking as well so we can look at that the first one we're going to be looking at is from shoddy a ad7511 saying that how is this a surprise saying Frank Vogel Frank Vogel sucks didn't make any adjustments so the suns were down 20 in the fourth in game three which is what i just mentioned obviously not making many adjustments that's what the fans don't like but i am a dragon so just kind of wonder how much of the problem is him and how much of the problem is our players and if he's the problem who exactly is to replace him the plan is to hope to get Ty Lue gets fired that's a terrible plan and i couldn't agree more i don't think bringing in Ty Lue is going to change anything for this squad i don't think it's going to do much for this team and ultimately i think a new kind of style of coach and a very good defensive minded coach would be very very great for this team also overhaul the roster and trying to get some things done i think would help us out as well we want to look at Suns in 420 he says well no ---- you lose in the first round with your big three healthy heads will roll he's the easiest scapegoat even if he's not all the problem and that's the thing i'm not going to come out and say that Frank Vogel is not an issue yes he sucks at adjustments yes he doesn't run this offense how it's supposed to be yes could he have you know some better adjustments, some better game plans on the defensive side to stop out. For sure, he's a defensive-minded coach. He should be able to handle this Minnesota Timberwolves offense because the Suns' defense finished around 15 towards the end of the season. They were in the middle of the pack defensively, so they could be able to limit this Timberwolves offense a little bit. The Anthony Edwards, even in Game 2 when he was bad, Mike Conley, Rudy Gobert, Jay McDaniels, they had guys step up in the Suns. Unfortunately, they had no one step up for them. It was very, very bad. And then the last one is from Trey Cartoon. This one, I agree with basically the most from the Reddit, saying that Frank Vogel's time as an effective head coach is probably over. You never know how the league is. I don't think it's entirely Vogel's fault. I'm sure if he had McDaniels and Gobert instead of Royce and Nurkic, he could have done much better. But he just wasn't the right guy for the roster we have. I still don't know if the Suns can run it back with a big three. I hold on to the hope that it's a big two next year. Whether it's Book KD, Book Beal, or God forbid, Beal KD, we're going to need a younger often offensive focus coach someone who won't be afraid to throw the hands in the locker room of KD or Book says shooting the threes isn't my style punching them in the mouth until they're shooting 10 per game it's 2024 not 2004 and i couldn't agree more with this person here Trey Cartoon because they brought up some valuable points there getting an offensive minded head coach and what i think is getting a big two i thought that the trade for Bradley Beal was absolutely ridiculous i thought they needed if they were going to move off DeAndre in and they said they didn't want a big all-time center like an offensive one getting a defensive minded center even a guy like Nurkic wasn't being bad in middle of the pack center but you have to get a playmaker you have to get a guy that's going to set up your offensive guy that was going to take over and transcend for Chris Paul's duties and by getting Bradley Beal and trying to fit that in it didn't work he wasn't healthy for the beginning of the year this big three didn't get that many games all together and their shooting inconsistencies in the playoffs but in the regular season as well just have not helped getting a big two would be nice i know we talked about in one of our past videos trading Devin Booker which i do not agree on i think he is the nucleus he is the core he's been the guy here through everything definitely don't get rid of Devin Booker but if KD gets frustrated because of this roster and how it's constructed the rumors pointing to him going back to OKC if that's going to happen and go into fruition maybe going after a guy like Josh Giddey or Jalen Williams if they're willing to give up one of those guys or even both of those guys to get some draft capital as well wouldn't be bad because I don't think many teams are going to take Bradley Beal on. We mentioned in another video as well, David Aldridge talked about how the Wizards were happy to move off of Bradley Beal's contract. I think the Suns were a team that didn't expect him to have this type of season, expect him to have a better offensive season, which was absolutely blasphemous. After having his injuries, seeing him be a number two, barely number one option for Washington, you have to realize that he's not going to be that all-star and that all-time type caliber dude for this Suns squad. You had to know he was going to be inefficient. had to know that it wasn't going to really work and even if it was going to work have them run the two three yet you need another point guard in my honest opinion that's what this team needs it needs someone to run this offense it needs someone to facilitate and hopefully they can move off of a guy in Bradley Beal that's the guy i'd be looking to move off of but with having no draft capital to attach to a dead end contract to a guy that's aging and is making a bunch of money i don't think that it's going to be possible and i think that if this team is to move off of anybody it's going to have to be either Booker or KD or they're going to have to move around the edges but i don't even think moving around the edges is gonna be able to do anything because we're a second apron team we're gonna have to do salary match or salary match it's going to be very very difficult so in my honest opinion I don't know if it's all all the worst with firing Frank Vogel and kind of confused on what this team has to do in the future so which kind of leads to our second part point of the video which is it his fault kind of looking at Frank Vogel kind of breaking it down are we blaming him are we all going to go in on him like I mentioned a little bit earlier I do think that he's a little bit of the scapegoat hasn't made the adjustments for this team you know we need a better offensive minded coach to run this offense and kind of figure out what's going to work for these guys but in my honest opinion I think he's a little bit of a scapegoat I think that this roster construction is just absolutely terrible again not having many wings besides Kevin Durant and like what Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon they aren't wings they're twos like you need defensive wings having Royce O'Neale was nice getting him was solid but I think that getting a better defensive wing would have been better possibly looking at some of those guys in the offseason would definitely be a move for my opinion getting some veteran defensive guys to help out at the wing position if you're looking to bring it back and run it back with this nucleus and then ultimately we'll have to wait and see but looking at how the Suns have been this season we can see offensively 10 points per game rebounds 10th assist 10th or 12th and offensive points per game 13th we'd love to see them in more offensive points per game because they have that big three of obviously Booker KD and Beal who are really good scorers so again underperforming there as well but injuries happened to this team to where they weren't able to play all throughout with each other but we look at the shooting split shooting splits for the playoffs they're absolutely atrocious as well Devin Booker has been able to hit his threes Booker has been very inconsistent even though Booker was the leading scorer in game three the day the team just looked lazy it didn't look like it wanted to be out there they tried their best they at least scored over 100 points in that game but again it's just not going to cut it Anthony Edwards just looked too killer on that offensive the defensive side and we just look like we don't want to be there and that's very very frustrating hopefully tonight we can avoid the sweep i desperately do not want to be the one team that goes out in a sweep in the first round so the Suns need this win so we don't have all this drama but if it is the last game of the season tonight if we do watch this team play one last time this could be the last time we see this big three together or possibly one of these or possibly any Frank Vogel's last game as well so let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section do you guys think it's Frank Vogel's fault let me know what you guys think I personally do give him some blame but I don't want to throw it all on him I do think the roster construction is the main issue and that's the thing that the Suns are gonna have to try to fix this offseason thank you guys so much for tuning in like I mentioned if you guys enjoyed the video hit that subscribe button so we can try to reach a thousand subscribers and I can't wait to catch you guys all in the post game we'll be breaking down this game four between the Suns and the Timberwolves have a great rest of your night peace out and go Phoenix Suns let's get this win tonight guys.
