Phoenix hired Brian Gregory, a longtime college coach, as general manager in May 2025. The move drew attention around the league. The Suns had gone 36-46 in 2024/25, and Gregory helped remake the roster.
That overhaul sent Kevin Durant to Houston. Phoenix received Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 draft. Gregory also discussed topics involving Booker, Bridges, and Green.
The roster overhaul could affect Phoenix and Houston fans, players, coaches, and team staff, along with NBA media and local businesses tied to game days. A blockbuster trade may shift expectations, ticket demand, and coverage for both franchises. Gregory's move from college coaching to an NBA front office could draw interest in how teams build leadership. The actual impact remains uncertain and may depend on player performance, chemistry, and later decisions.
