The Phoenix Suns have made the decision to fire head coach Mike Budenholzer after a disappointing season, where they finished 36-46, despite having the largest payroll in NBA history. This marks the third consecutive offseason where the Suns have changed coaches. Budenholzer struggled to connect with players, particularly superstar Devin Booker, leading to a lack of team cohesion. The franchise, under owner Mat Ishbia, now embarks on a thorough coaching search aiming to revitalize a team that has shown inconsistency on both ends of the court.
