According to Arizona Sports talk show host John Gambadoro, Phoenix is not interested in hiring recently fired veteran coaches like Mike Malone or Taylor Jenkins. The franchise is expected to target a younger free agent coach with more upside and long-term potential.
The Suns finished the season 11th in the Western Conference with a 36–46 record, a hugely disappointing outcome considering their league-high payroll and championship aspirations at the start of the year.
