David Fizdale will remain with the Phoenix Suns in a prominent assistant coach role.


Fizdale was hired by the Suns on the coaching staff of Frank Vogel last offseason, but had initially been expected to exit the bench.


The Suns hired Mike Budenholzer as head coach this offseason to replace Vogel.

Fiz has been an assistant coach in LA and Miami while Lebron was on those teams.

I wonder what the Suns are planning.......?

Nothing... They don't have the cap space or the assets the Lakers want.

The only way would.be Lebron to match beals.deal.exactly and beal and the lakers agree on a trade beal for Lebron.. Which obviously is not going to happen.. Beal might be ok going to the lakers but the lakers wouldn't want him.. With Lebron the suns would.be a lot better but still their roster would suck overall

Would LeBron take the veteran minimum to be part of the Suns super team and to play with his son?

The Suns don't have the "veteran minimum" since they're one of the 2-5 teams over the second apron.

Beal isn't waiving his No Trade Clause again.
