Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reported that while CEO Josh Bartelstein and team president and general manager James Jones have worked together with Ishbia on basketball decisions, the owner has been "pushing hard" to hire former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers as the Suns' new lead executive.

As Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia wants to hire Bob Myers, there’s a new twist to the mix. According to AZCentral’s Duane Rankin, the Suns were also interested in Milwaukee Bucks executive Jon Horst. The general manager won the 2019 NBA Executive of the Year after the Bucks had a 60-win season.
