Welcome to the How to Fix the Suns series, where we break down the paths available to the Phoenix Suns as they navigate the 2025 offseason. Here we are, still navigating the Phoenix Suns’ future, still trying to fix what’s broken.

The Phoenix Suns may be trying their best to maximize their chances of keeping Kevin Durant. Veteran NBA writer Marc Stein reported to Substack this week that Houston Rockets assistant coach Royal Ivey is a name to monitor for the Suns’ head coach job.

That idea has only fueled discussions about Durant’s future, and former players Lou Williams and Chandler Parsons have weighed in on the Rockets’ direction. Williams believes Houston should hold onto Jalen Green rather than trade him for Durant, while Parsons argues that bringing KD to Houston would drastically shift expectations for the franchise.
