The Best Coach - PHX Suns

Doc Rivers, who was recently fired by the Philadelphia 76ers, is being considered as a potential head coach for the Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks. According to NBA executives, Rivers could be a good fit for the Suns due to the organization's unpredictability under new governor Mat Ishbia. Additionally, the Bucks, who parted ways with Mike Budenholzer, see Rivers as a sleeper candidate. The Suns recently fired Monty Williams after their playoff exit, while the Bucks dismissed Budenholzer following their first-round postseason loss. Other candidates for the Suns coaching job include Budenholzer, Nick Nurse, and Suns assistant Kevin Young, while the Bucks have a long list of potential candidates, including current assistant Charles Lee, Scott Brooks, Adrian Griffin, James Borrego, Kenny Atkinson, Mark Jackson, and Kelvin Sampson.

Despite his disappointing exit from the 76ers, Rivers has had a successful career as an NBA head coach, ranking highly in both regular-season and playoff victories. He won an NBA title with the 2007-08 Boston Celtics. The Suns and Bucks offer attractive coaching opportunities with elite players such as Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in Phoenix and Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. While both teams have roster questions to address in the offseason, they are well-positioned to be strong contenders in the playoffs next season.
