The next step of the Phoenix Suns’ search for their fifth head coach in five years could be reaching a resolution soon. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Monty Williams will have his second meeting with Suns brass sometime this week. Williams, the Philadelphia 76ers’ lead assistant, is in the middle of a very competitive Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Toronto Raptors tied 1-1.
Last week, the Los Angeles Lakers sent a heavy front office contingent to woo Williams in Philadelphia in their second interview. The heavy-hitting names included GM Rob Pelinka, Owner Jeanie Buss, Joey Buss, Jesse Buss, COO Tim Harris and Kurt and Linda Rambis.
