The Phoenix Suns will work Kevin Durant on a trade this offseason and plan to "pivot and reload" around Devin Booker.

The future of Willie Green as head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans is uncertain as they head into the offseason. If Green and the Pelicans part ways, he could become a candidate to become the next head coach of the Phoenix Suns. Green was an assistant with the Suns under Monty Williams before he was hired as head coach of the Pelicans. Green has relationships with Devin Booker and Mat Ishbia. The Suns have been widely expected to fire Mike Budenholzer after their disappointing 24-25 season.

The New Orleans Pelicans are wrapping up one of the worst seasons in franchise history. That has some believing that front office leader David Griffin and head coach Willie Green could be wrapping up their tenures with the team. Griffin took over the Pelicans front office in April of 2019. Under his leadership, New Orleans has made two playoff appearances and has had two winning seasons. Green led the team to both of those playoff appearances and both winning seasons.

Nuggets were another situation that front office folks/coaches had tapped along with SAC, PHX, MIL and others for potential leadership changes… but depending on season outcome. Most Denver staffers’ contracts were set to expire at year’s end, per sources. Timing is still nuts.
