If Marquese Chriss has reached a point where he emotions are unable to be held in check with an Assistant Head Coach, I believe that it is time for him to go. The sooner the better so the franchise can move on with a positive locker room and a new piece (whether it be Gordon or the Brooklyn pick) to help continue to build around.

Next: The Phoenix Suns should make an offer for Aaron Gordon

It is my hope that if neither of these trades come to fruition that Chriss uses this moment as a fulcrum in his career and turn things around for the better. Unfortunately, I just don’t think that the Suns can take that risk.
