Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones has a tremendous opportunity before him: if he can build a winner, and sustain it over a long period of time, he will be considered one of the greatest GM’s in franchise history.
If he doesn’t, he of course will simply go down as another failed General Manager, and disappear into franchise lore just like so many before him.
Fortunately for Jones, because the franchise is at such depths never before known, the opportunity to build a winner with the young core already in place is legitimate.
As he was the “interim” GM last season, the 2019-20 season might already be the fulcrum in his managerial career because the roster that he has put together this offseason seems to be the kind that not only should compete game-in-and-game-out, but also grow quickly in the future.
