The Phoenix Suns are finalizing a deal to hire Frank Vogel as coach, sources told ESPN on Friday.
The Suns offered Vogel the job Friday morning and are expected to complete terms on a long-term deal that will deliver him the chance to coach All-NBA stars Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, the sources said.
Vogel emerged from a finalist group that included former Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers and Suns assistant Kevin Young, sources said. Vogel comes with a 2020 NBA championship as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and a history of constructing elite defenses.
