The Phoenix Suns are expected to hire former Hornets and Pistons executive Jeff Bower to a long-term deal as the team’s senior vice president of basketball operations in the next 24-48 hours, reports 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station’s John Gambadoro.
Bower has more than a decade of experience in the GM position, both for the New Orleans Pelicans and most recently the Detroit Pistons.
This hire, if completed, would become the very first hire made by Robert Sarver of a candidate with significant NBA experience at the level of which he is hired to work under Sarver.
