The Phoenix Suns are expected to have one of the busiest offseasons in the NBA. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have both been included in trade rumors, with Durant all but guaranteed to be moved.
Bradley Beal could be bought out in one of the most expensive negotiations in NBA history, but all of that is speculative.
One thing is for sure: the Suns need to add a head coach and general manager, and they have been linked to some high-profile candidates.
One of them made it clear he might not be able to work under Suns' owner Mat Ishbia.

Bob Myers built the Golden State Warriors into a dynasty and has since taken cushy jobs as a television analyst and advisor to the Washington Commanders, but might be on the verge of re-joining the NBA.
The Suns, naturally, seem like a good fit, although Myers doesn't sound excited about getting back in the game quite yet.
"I'd wake up at 2, 3 in the morning, saying, 'I should have done this. I messed up that draft pick. Why didn't I sign this guy? You know, I should have said this to this guy at practice,'" Myers said on NBA Radio. "I just, my mind would never turn off. And there's a cost to that, right? Eventually, I was like, I got to take a pause here. But I imagine at some point, right, that'll come back around. But I'm not getting back in unless I know that answer."
On top of that, Ishbia is not exactly the easiest owner to work for, as he wants to have a say in the basketball decisions. At the end of the day, Ishbia is a businessman and likely would cause more harm than good, proven by the Suns' current roster construction.
Myers is accomplished enough to boast a "my way or the highway" attitude, and it sounds like that's exactly how he would operate.
"I can only do it my way," he finished. "And if I can't do it that way, I couldn't do it."
Ishbia's track record suggests that he would want a "yes man" who would let him play with his shiny toy as he sees fit. Despite claims of wanting to build a championship roster, can he relinquish control to people who actually know how to do that?
