The other shoe finally dropped six months after the Phoenix Suns fired former general manager Ryan McDonough nine days before the 2018-19 regular season began.
According to multiple reports, which was later confirmed in a press release Thursday morning, the Suns’ restructured front office will feature James Jones as GM with Jeff Bower (Senior VP of Basketball Operations) and Trevor Bukstein (Assistant GM) reporting directly to him.
Since owner Robert Sarver first brought Jones aboard in July 2017, there has been a calming sense that he would eventually be the voice to steer the ship in the right direction.
