Report: Kerr out as Suns GM
Basketball Betting Lines
06/15/2010 -
Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Steve Kerr will reportedly not return as
president and general manager of the Phoenix Suns.
According to the Arizona Republic on Tuesday, Kerr will make a return to
television as an NBA commentator after his three-year run with Phoenix.
The Suns went a surprising 52-28 this past regular season and reached the
Western Conference finals before being eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in
six games.
Kerr spent the first of his 15 NBA seasons as a player in Phoenix and
returned as part-owner and consultant in 2004. In June 2007, he left his
position as an analyst at TNT to become general manager of the club.
Phoenix went through three coaches during Kerr's short tenure, as Mike
D'Antoni left following the 2007-08 season and Terry Porter was fired at the
2008-09 All-Star break prior to Alvin Gentry taking over.
Gentry guided the franchise back to the playoffs following a one-year absence.
The paper's report also indicated Kerr will keep his ownership stake in the
team.
A former University of Arizona star, Kerr won five NBA championships with
Chicago and San Antonio.
