Suns Overhaul Front Office, Name Brian Gregory GM

The Phoenix Suns have promoted Brian Gregory from vice president to general manager, replacing James Jones, who had served as GM since 2019 and will now act as senior advisor. The move comes after the Suns finished a disappointing 36-46 season, missing the playoffs, and parting ways with head coach Mike Budenholzer after just one year. Gregory, known for his NCAA coaching background and role in player development, will oversee a pivotal offseason, including the search for a new head coach. There are rumors the team may consider a major trade involving star Kevin Durant as part of a roster overhaul. Oronde Taliaferro has been named assistant general manager, while Chief Innovation Officer Paul Rivers will take on expanded basketball operations duties. These leadership changes signal a significant shift for the Suns as they aim to return to playoff contention.
