Lon Babby was President of Basketball Operations from 2010-2015, and spent the 2015-16 season as a part-time senior advisor.

Lon Babby’s role wasn’t simply to win games. Of course more wins would have been better, but the Phoenix Suns sit in a strong position in the long term, which was his ultimate duty. He isn’t jumping off a sinking ship here.
