James Jones, a longtime staple in the Miami basketball community, might be in line to add another impressive line to his resume. The three-time NBA champion may be the frontrunner to be the Suns next full-time general manager, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Jones, who joined Phoenix’s front office last year, is currently serving as as one of the Suns’ interim general managers. Jones had been Phoenix’s vice president of basketball operations until Phoenix owner Robert Sarver fired Ryan McDonough on Sunday. McDonough had been with the Suns since 2013 and brought Jones into his front office last July.
