The Phoenix Suns are set to promote vice president Brian Gregory to general manager, replacing James Jones, who will transition to an advisory role. Gregory, who joined the Suns in June 2024 after coaching at various colleges, faces significant challenges this offseason, including potential trades for superstar Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, as well as hiring a new head coach following the firing of Mike Budenholzer. Owner Mat Ishbia has a history of dismissing coaches quickly, and Gregory’s connection to Ishbia through their time at Michigan State may influence his decisions.
