Suns leaning toward promoting James Jones to full-time GM

Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver is leaning toward hiring interim general manager James Jones as the franchise's full-time GM, league sources told ESPN.

Sarver fired GM Ryan McDonough on Sunday night and issued a statement on Monday that assigned Jones and assistant GM Trevor Bukstein to share oversight of basketball operations on an interim basis. Jones had been working under the title of VP of basketball operations.
