Everything indicates that the Phoenix Suns will look very different next season after their disastrous year. And they will do it at different levels: template, coaching staff and main offices. First, the Arizona franchise has already begun its recruitment process of a new coach after saying goodbye to Mike Budenholzer. This incorporation could go hand in hand with a great renowned executive in the NBA.
According to the media PHNX Sportsthe owner of the suns, Mat Ishbia, wants someone with experience to take the reins of the front-office And his great object of desire is Bob Myers, the architect who was part of the foundations, molded and perfected the Golden State Warriors who won four rings between 2015 and 2022, and who now look for the fifth, without Klay Thompson, but with Jimmy Butler.
However, the Suns will have nothing easy to convince the former general manager of the Warriors, who currently works for ESPN and who has a role as a consultant at the Washington Commanders of the NFL. The journalist Marc Stein adds that it seems unlikely that Myers accepts a potential proposal of the Suns due to the limited maneuverability and flexibility that the franchise currently has. In any case, if what Myers seeks to return to the NBA offices is a great challenge, this opportunity is for him.
Stein points out that Atlanta Hawks also have Myers in their list of candidates. Georgia’s organization recently fired Landry Fields as his general manager. For now, Onsi Saleh has been chosen as a substitute, who, precisely, worked closely with Myers in the Warriors as strategic vice president.
