For Los Angeles Lakers, the signing of JJ Redick as head coach before the start of the 2024/25 NBA season has proven to be a great success. Despite his lack of previous coaching experience, the former player has led the franchise to rank 3rd in the Western Conference and be among the favorites to reach the Finals.

For that reason, Phoenix Suns want to "copy" the winning strategy of the Lakers. That's according to NBA Rumors insider Marc Stein from The Stein Line. The Arizona team will not focus on experienced figures who could replace their former coach, Mike Budenholzer.

"Suns are expected to strongly consider candidates with no previous experience in a head role. They have hired head coaches who had won NBA titles, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer. Both lasted only one season in the position," Stein began explaining.

"Cleveland Cavaliers' associate head coach Johnnie Bryant and Houston Rockets' assistant coach Royal Ivey are two candidates to consider," he added.
