Devin Booker and Kevin Durant probed over Monty Williams firing

The first domino fell to the Phoenix Suns following elimination in the second round of the playoffs. The new owner Matt Ishbiawho bought the franchise during the season, made the decision to fire the coach Monty Williams. But he did not make this choice alone. According to Shams Charania, the former NCAA champion (2000) consulted the management but also the senior players of the team.

“I was told very clearly that this is a top-down decision with Matt Ishbia that has been validated at all levels down to the players. I think Kevin Durant and Devin Booker were involved in the process.”

This is not an isolated fact, stars are often probed on these issues. And it shows that Booker and Durant are indeed at the heart of the project. Their opinion is important and they will be listened to on the main decisions concerning the team. Maybe even on the choice of the new coach. Tyronn Lue would be the favorite of the Suns, even if it is in place at the Los Angeles Clippers. Nick Nurserecently dismissed by the Toronto Raptors, also remains a track to watch.
