You really think he was that bad? I thought, all things considered, he wasn't too bad. He seemed to do wonders for Alex Len too.

Nah. The players like him a lot apparently. Plus, Bledsoe will be healthy again. I doubt the Suns are still a bottom 5 team next season.

What are the odds Watson lasts the full three years? 50%? 30%?

I think the Nets and Bucks proved this year that you can be trying to win games with a coach that knows the playoffs and not be able to do so.  They should be better than last year, but I don't see them being dramatically better by any stretch.  Maybe if Booker makes a leap but I don't think he'll be good enough to swing 10-20 games for a couple years (although I think he'll eventually get there).

Suns aren't quite as dysfunctional, but they're not inspiring confidence. Broke up the Morrii to chase after cap space, signed Chandler to a big contract to woo Aldridge (failed), had to fire Hornacek, and still ended up trading Markieff Morris anyways.

Are they competing, or rebuilding? What's their direction? I can see Watson becoming expendable as soon as Sarver decides he wants the team to win. Question is: how soon will that be?

Let's not forget this was a single summer after signing IT to backup up Dragic/Bledsoe only to watch it blow up in their faces. Then they proceeded to trade both, after Dragic demanded a trade. Only to watch IT become an All-Star and Dragic lead a team that has an outside chance at making the Finals.

Yeah, the Suns don't have much credibility.
