Monty Williams fired; 5 candidates for next Suns head coach

1. Ty Lue

Lue may be the best option for the Suns, but he’s still under contract with the Los Angeles Clippers for the next two seasons. However, it was reported that the Bucks, who dismissed Mike Budenholzer, are interested in Lue’s services, and more teams, like Phoenix, may look into Lue. 

Jackie MacMullan also reported that Durant was interested in having Lue coach the Brooklyn Nets three years ago, and he could play an integral part in Phoenix’s potential pursuit of Lue.
