\"Mike<\/p>\n

For the third consecutive year (!), The Suns<\/strong> decide to separate from their coach because, after Monty Williams in 2023 then Frank Vogel in 2024, we learn by ESPN<\/a> that it is Mike Budenholzer<\/strong> Who already takes the door!<\/p>\n

A year ago, “Coach Bud” had however been recruited for five years (and $ 50 million …) per Phoenix<\/strong>except that the disappointing season of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and others were finally right prematurely in his mandate in Arizona.<\/p>\n

He therefore goes after having failed to qualify the team as a playoffs, and even in play-in, because of an 11th place to the west (36-46) and injuries of his leaders (Durant and Beal at the top).<\/p>\n

Elected “coach of the year” twice in the past, at Atlanta (2015) and Milwaukee (2019), Mike Budenholzer should not have trouble finding a bench, like his counterparts Michael Malone and Taylor Jenkins, recently fired by Nuggets and Grizzlies.<\/p>\n

Why not with the Spurs, where he made his classes, when his mentor Gregg Popovich is not sure to come back to train next season? The financial aspect should not be a problem, given the dismissal allowances that he will receive Suns …<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
