Suns to Hire Steve Kerr as General Manager (http://www.nba.com/nba_news/Kerr_sunsgm.html)

PHOENIX, May 31 (AP) -- Steve Kerr will be hired as general manager of the Phoenix Suns, a person with knowledge of the hiring said Thursday.

Kerr can't officially take the job until he completes his obligations as an analyst for TNT during the NBA playoffs. He is expected to be introduced at a news conference next week, said a person close to the situation who asked not to be identified because the official announcement had not been made.

Kerr is a close friend of Suns owner Robert Sarver and owns a small piece of the team. He would replace Mike D'Antoni, who held the titles of general manager and head coach. The move will allow D'Antoni to concentrate on coaching.

Kerr was part of the TNT crew at the Eastern Conference finals game in Detroit. He left the court at halftime with a cell phone in his ear.

"We're still talking at this point,'' he said when asked of the report. "I can't really say anything more at this point.''

D'Antoni had held both titles after Bryan Colangelo resigned as president and general manager in February 2006 to take a similar post with the Toronto Raptors.



LOL

^^^^ Steve Kerr is a valid analyst.. though he changed his mind too often and has a tendancy to jump on bandwagons.. I'd say he's less wack than the others analy

^^^^ he isn't a good one.. but some of his articles can be read. To be honest I don't appreciate one analyst (no homo).. they're too objective and about hype.. some don't even know the game
