5 things the Suns need to do to make their Big 3 work
5. Don't fire Frank Vogel
The players on the team had a tough time adapting to head coach Frank Vogel's system during their first attempt together, but it wasn't entirely the coach's fault. The lackluster supporting cast made it inevitable that the team would struggle at some point during the season. However, Vogel deserves another opportunity to coach the stars for a few reasons.
"You sitting there saying, Darvin Ham needs to get fired, Frank Vogel needs to get fired. Who put them trash ass teams together need to get fired. They didn't just all the sudden suck as coaches. People who put them teams together should start packing."

It will give the stars a chance to explore how to be effective in their system. The Suns need time to figure out how the stars can be productive on both ends of the court. Rushing them to learn and figure things out on the court was one of their problems during the season, which is why they appeared unprepared, especially during the offseason.
Replacing Vogel with a different coach would mean another adjustment period for the stars. All three of them cannot afford to learn a new system in the summer since they are pressed for time.
