Mat Ishbia, owner of the Phoenix Suns, is intensifying efforts to recruit Bob Myers, the former general manager of the Golden State Warriors, known for guiding the team to four NBA championships. Following a disappointing season, the Suns are looking for front office changes, which might include Myers. Current GM James Jones and CEO Josh Bartelstein have been collaborating on basketball decisions, but Ishbia's push for Myers indicates a desire for a more structured leadership.

The Suns' performance has declined since Ishbia's ownership, marked by an early playoff exit and a recent lack of postseason appearances. With rumors suggesting the potential trading of star player Kevin Durant, the Suns are in a precarious position as they seek stability. Ishbia's plan includes restructuring the front office before hiring a new head coach, underlining a commitment to recalibrating the team’s trajectory.
