Terry Porter's Unhappy All-Star Weekend

Here today, gone tomorrow: "There are strong indications that the Suns will have a new head coach leading them at Monday's scheduled afternoon practice. Although no final decision has been made, the apparent plan is for Suns management to fire Terry Porter - who in his first season has led the Suns to a 28-23 record and ninth place in the Western Conference standings - on Monday. Because of financial concerns, the replacement probably would come from the staff. Lead assistant Alvin Gentry would be the likely successor, not General Manager Steve Kerr, as has been reported."
