Former Phoenix Suns GM Ryan McDonough dishes on 'abrupt' firing, biggest regret

Former Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough’s one-liners drew a few laughs Monday afternoon on ESPN’s "The Jump," hosted by Rachel Nichols.

  • On his firing: "It was abrupt for me, too.”
  • On the difference between Boston and Phoenix: “They paid me, so I love both of them.”
  • On point guards: “If I did it again, I’d have one-and-a-half point guards. That seems like a happy medium.”

Between those soundbites, McDonough, in the eight-minute interview, talked about how Suns owner Robert Sarver fired him, his biggest regret as general manager and much more.

McDonough was entering his sixth season as Phoenix’s GM, but felt he had more time.
