Phoenix Suns’ owner Mat Ishbia opted for an internal promotion, naming Brian Gregory as general manager, while James Jones becomes Senior Advisor. Gregory, who joined the Suns in 2023 after a lengthy college coaching career, faces the challenge of retooling the team around Devin Booker and establishing a new identity, including finding a new head coach after the firing of Mike Budenholzer. Additionally, Gregory will work on potential trades for stars Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, marking him as the central figure in the Suns’ rebuilding efforts.
