Suns’ Jones on 98.7 says “we” regarding a GM search that could conclude by next week

The Phoenix Suns have been without a permanent general manager since firing Ryan McDonough halfway through a terrible preseason with his fifth hand-built roster.

McDonough was fired along with, reportedly, 80 percent of the front office staff, leaving James Jones and Trevor Bukstein to run the day-to-day operations of the team for the past six months as co-interim general managers. Only a few holdovers from McDonough’s staff, including director of personnel Bubba Burrage, remain.

James Jones has been the public voice and primary liaison with players and coaches, while Bukstein has focused on roster management.
