1. James Jones resigned as general manager of the Suns

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, the management of the Suns has changed. The former general manager of the team, James Jones, officially resigned. He will be transferred to the team's senior consultant position, and the team's former vice president of operations, Gregory, will be promoted to the team's new general manager. Since becoming the General Manager of the Suns in 2019, James Jones has led the team to the playoffs for four consecutive years, and has completed major transactions one after another, introducing star players such as Paul, Durant, and Bill. He was also elected as the Best Executive of the Year in the 2020-21 season, with a rich resume.

The new Greg has rich experience in basketball. He has served as head coach in the NCAA for 20 years and has helped the team select two potential stars, Ryan Dunn and Iguodaro, and participated in the decision-making of some basketball affairs in the team. Now, for Greg who is being straightened, the first priority will be to find a suitable head coach for the Suns and reorganize a new basketball team. The team's former head coach Budenholzer was fired on April 14. Despite the team's poor performance this season, team owner Ishbiya is still committed to building a luxury lineup. He said at a press conference after the end of the season that he still wants to build a team that can make everyone proud. And the current changes in management are just the first step for him to make changes, and they will definitely be more active in the next offseason!
