Phoenix Suns

Mike Budenholzer will not be the next head coach of the Phoenix Suns. That this was even a remote possibility remains somewhat surprising. Budenholzer already has a gig with the Atlanta Hawks, and while the new front office regime inherited him, seldom do you see gainfully employed head coaches being granted permission to hold court [...]

Is Devin Booker turned off enough by the Phoenix Suns’ struggles to avoid signing a max extension with them this summer? Not quite.

The Phoenix Suns are in the midst of another season in the NBA cellar at 19-53 and have been in full tank mode the second half of the season. They have been lead by Interim Head Coach Jay Triano for much of the season, as Earl Watson was fired three games into the 2017-18 season. [...]

If Devin Booker had his way, the Phoenix Suns would keep interim head coach Jay Triano as Earl Watson’s permanent replacement. Unfortunately, though, he doesn’t have a say in these matters. Not yet.
