The Phoenix Suns are on the verge of a major transformation after a disappointing 36-46 season that left them out of the playoffs. Following a single year with head coach Mike Budenholzer, the franchise has made significant moves, including his firing and the promotion of Brian Gregory to general manager. Gregory’s history with owner Mat Ishbia suggests a strategic approach to rebuilding.

As trade rumors swirl around superstar Kevin Durant, teams like the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs are emerging as potential destinations. Analyst Colin Cowherd believes Durant could thrive in either location, particularly with the Rockets, emphasizing his ability to adapt and score despite fluctuating shooting performances. The Suns are rumored to be eyeing significant draft capital, especially with the 2025 NBA Draft approaching, which may expedite a trade if it aligns with their goals.
