The new Suns coach is sure! Durant wants to stay, but the team will not stay. He intends to form the three giants to win the championship again
3:50pm, 5 June 2025【Basketball】
On June 5, the Suns, who performed poorly this season, completed their first offseason operation today. When other teams were still considering giving up a person who was not suitable for the team, they had already cut coach Budenholzer. Yesterday the Knicks just cut Thibodeau. Today, the Suns have completed their appointment with the new coach. Suns owner Ishbiya is still as decisive as usual.

According to famous reporter Shams, several sources revealed that Cavaliers assistant coach Jordan Ultra will serve as the new head coach of the Suns, and the two sides signed a four-year contract. It is reported that the Suns spent enough energy to select coaches this time. They interviewed more than 15 candidates. After four rounds of screening, the Suns boss and management finally chose Jordan Ultra, and Booker also participated in the team's coach selection process in the final stage.
I believe many fans are not familiar with Ultra. He helped Atkinson lead the team to the top in the Eastern Conference last season, winning 64 wins and 18 losses. Although Ultra has no experience as a head coach, he has 12 years of experience as an assistant coach. He has served as an assistant coach for the Lakers, Nets, Hawks and Cavaliers. He has rich experience in offensive creativity and defensive creativity, as well as player development and communication, and Booker also supports him very much.

After Buden was slashed, the Suns had set their goals. They wanted to find a modern coach to help the team, rather than like the old-school coach. Jordan Ultra was very young and had contact with the Cavaliers' successful system this season, which may help the Suns change. Previously, the American Journal revealed that if he could get a favorite coach, Durant, might stay in the team. This is his own idea, but the Suns may not agree.
famous reporter Stein once revealed that no matter who the Suns and the new coach are, they will most likely send Durant away. The meaning is very clear. If you want to stay, we won’t stay. It is understandable to this point. After all, their three cores have never had any chemical reactions. Not only do they pay high luxury taxes, but the team has also laid off two coaches since the three of them cooperated. As long as they lose too much, their core will cause trouble for the coach, which is simply a coach killer.

In order to send Durant away, it is reported that the Suns have contacted the Rockets many times recently. They have lowered their asking price for Durant, but the Rockets still do not want to break up their young lineup because of a veteran. The Suns have a clear purpose. They want to exchange Durant for their draft picks with the Rockets, but the Rockets are not interested now. After all, Durant is not only old, but also wants a two-year, 120 million contract extension.
After the Rockets were unintentional to it, Durant also wanted to find another goal. According to the Arizona Sports Radio host, people in Kevin Durant's camp are seeing the Spurs as a potential next home with a high possibility. The Spurs are indeed interested in Durant. They want to complete their rise immediately around Wenban, and the Spurs can also give the Suns the bargaining chips they want. They can use their young talent and first-round picks to trade. The Suns can trade the first round with the Rockets for their first round picks.

According to famous reporter Shams, there are 4-6 teams who are interested in Durant. Although he has not said these teams, judging from recent news, it is likely that the Spurs, Timberwolves, Knicks, Hawks and other teams will be teams such as the Spurs, Timberwolves, Knicks, and Hawks. What the Suns hope is to get an excellent inside player from Durant's trade. The Timberwolves is a place Durant also wants to go, but in the current situation, everyone has seen that the Timberwolves do not have so many bargaining chips to meet the requirements of the Suns.
The Suns still chose to continue to build a team around Booker, and they had previously revealed their idea of renewing Booker. This summer, Booker is expected to sign a two-year, 150 million contract renewal contract this summer. This super maximum salary average salary reaches 75 million, setting a historical record. The Suns are definitely willing to give this contract. After all, they choose coaches by listening to Booker's opinions. Booker is their ideal team face. Previously, it was reported that Booker did not want to leave the Suns, and he hoped to live a long-term team.

In the current league, there are not many people without one person and one city. Some stars still want to live a long-lasting team, but some management teams do not recognize their stars' strength and will eventually give up on them, which leads them to realize the sinisterness of the business league and then lose the belief of one person and one city. As for Bill’s stay or not, everyone is also concerned about it. To be honest, I think it is still difficult for the Sun to send Bill away, after all, Bill has the right to veto the transaction.
If there is no way to send it away, the Sun can consider trying to send Bill away by delaying the buyout. He still has a 2-year and 100 million contract. The Sun can be in installments for 5 years and pays about 20 million yuan a year for a buyout contract. But to be honest, the price is quite painful. If it weren't for the difficulty of sending Bill away, the Sun would not have considered Durant. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current sun? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
