The Sun officially announced!

Jordan Ott is 40 years old and Suns boss Ishbya is an alumnus of Michigan State University. He worked as a video coordinator for the Hawks and began his coaching career under Budenholzer. Later, he served as assistant coaches for the Nets (under Atkinson, Vaughan), the Lakers (under Hamm), and the Cavaliers (under Atkinson).

Jordan Ultra and Atkinson are close, and the two have worked with the Cavaliers for many years. Last year, Jordan Ott left the Lakers and followed Atkinson to join the Cavaliers, helping the team to score a record of 64 wins and 18 losses in the regular season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

After the Suns finalize the coach, they will operate the deal about Durant. At present, rumors about Durant's transactions are flying.

Yahoo has given the latest trading simulation Clippers' acquisition: Durant Suns' acquisition: Norman Powell, Derek Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, the second round pick from Memphis in 2026, and the first round pick in 2031.

Seeing this transaction simulation, many fans were not optimistic, because Durant + Harden + Leonard are all too old, and another important factor is the injury problem.

The famous reporter of "Open Stands" talked about Durant's trading prospects in the show. He said: In Phoenix, everyone related to Kevin Durant's situation said that Durant's deal is something that will inevitably happen. The Suns' asking price for Durant is three first-round picks. According to reports, the Suns have been selling KD to the Rockets and gradually lowering their asking price. They are trying to recover the draft pick assets lost in previous deals from the Rockets. The Rockets control the first round of the Suns in 2025, 2027 and 2029.

According to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, sources revealed that the Suns have not participated in any transaction negotiations about Durant recently, and the rumors about "price cuts and sells" are completely untrue.

There are three weeks left before the draft, almost 25 days, and about two and a half weeks before the free market is opened. It seems that most teams and most management personnel regard Durant as more like a one-year loan acquisition target, rather than the candidate they want to pursue and renew their contracts for a long time. Durant has 54.7 million yuan left in his current contract.

2024-25 season, 36-year-old Durant played 62 regular season games for the Suns, averaging 36.5 minutes per game, scoring 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks, with shooting percentages in the three events being 52.7%, 43.0% and 83.9% respectively.

Finally, let's take a look at the rumors about the Lakers: According to US media reports, the Lakers will offer a contract offer to Rockets' substitute center Adams in the offseason to complete the strengthening of the inside. The Lakers may provide a contract offer that the Rockets cannot match and provide Adams with a starting position to attract Adams to join. Adams will be a full free agent in the offseason, and the Lakers are currently only available in the free market with $5.68 million in the mini middle class.

If the Lakers really get Adams, it would be a "combination made by heaven."
