When the Phoenix Suns went looking for an experienced advisor to help James Jones run his front office, the dominos were left in a box that’s been too-often dumped on the kitchen table on the whims of an impatient owner.
James Jones will enter his third year in the Suns front office, reporting directly to Sarver since day one, however he’s officially taking over the front office as General Manager for the first time. Jones has final non-Sarver say. His two primary direct reports are Trevor Bukstein (eight years with the Suns) and new employee Jeff Bower (20 years in front offices including 10 as a GM).
