Suns May Trade Durant After Firing Budenholzer
The Straits Times
|April 16, 2025
The Phoenix Suns fired coach Mike Budenholzer on April 14 after the team failed to reach the National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs, despite having the largest payroll in the league.

LOS ANGELES -
In a terse statement, the Suns said Budenholzer had been sacked after their worst league finish since 2019. "Competing at the highest level remains our goal, and we failed to meet expectations this season," the statement said. "Our fans deserve better. Change is needed."
The Suns, who invested heavily in a roster which included Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal, finished 11th in the Western Conference with a 36-46 record. The trio earned a total of US$150 million (S$197.5 million) this season. Phoenix's payroll is reportedly around US$220 million, the highest in the NBA, and around US$16 million more than the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are next highest at around US$204 million.
