The Phoenix Suns have agreed to hire Jordan Ott as head coach. Ott was one of two finalists for the job alongside Johnnie Bryant, who is also an assistant coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ott has been an NBA assistant coach since 2012. 

Ott met on Tuesday with Mat Ishbia, Josh Bartelstein and Brian Gregory. Devin Booker was involved in the search process during the final stages and considered Ott to be his first choice.

Ott has worked under Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson and Darvin Ham.

With the Suns hiring their head coach, they will now work to resolve the future of Kevin Durant, who is expected to be traded.

Why not trade Booker and Durant, and go full rebuild if they are going this route.

I think there is a good chance KD will be traded this summer. Booker? Maybe the same or by the deadline of next season.

5th year of Ishbia's ownership...5th head coach. I wonder what Vegas has the odds of this guy lasting

Heard he’s a bit over the top

So very, very typical of Ishbia. Straight up bro hire.
