Mired in their current morass, it may not seem like the Suns are being exceptionally well managed these days.
If you’re still a teenager, there’s a good chance you can’t even remember watching a good Suns’ basketball team, but the Suns have historically been very well managed and have a slew of Executive of the Year awards to prove it.
Despite never winning a championship, the Suns were one of the most successful franchises in the league through the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. That type of sustained excellence requires high functioning individuals at all levels.
