James Borrego and Dave Joerger have emerged as potential candidates for the Phoenix Suns' head coaching position, according to a report. The list of candidates is extensive and includes playoff coaches like Johnnie Bryant and Royal Ivey, alongside assistants like Chris Quinn and Sean Sweeney.

Borrego's four-year stint with the Charlotte Hornets saw the team improve significantly, though they missed the playoffs in his final year. Joerger, known for his tactical acumen but sometimes contentious relationships with front offices, is currently an assistant in Milwaukee. The Suns are expected to make major roster changes, particularly involving Kevin Durant, and prioritize building around Devin Booker, who appears committed to the team.

Ultimately, the Suns' next coach will be selected based on the vision for the team's future, as they aim to recover from a disappointing season.
