Suns boss responds to the disintegration of the Big Three: admits that he made a mistake and is very confident in Greendillon

On July 19, Suns owner Ishbiya responded to the team's recent offseason operations and talked about the disintegration of the Big Three. After the Suns traded Durant and reached a buyout deal with Bill, Ishbiya admitted that it was possible that it would be wrong to splurge draft picks and funds when he took over the team two years ago.

"The most important thing I learned is that there must be a clear vision and positioning from day one, but I didn't do that in the operation of the Phoenix Suns," Ishbiya said. "I was like, 'Hey, let's add some money in. The team has a good foundation, and investing more resources will only make it better', but it's not like that at all."

"Everyone has to agree on the Phoenix Suns' goals, but we're not doing well enough in that. It's my responsibility and I'm willing to take all the criticism."

"Consensus" is a topic Ishbiya and the Suns have repeatedly mentioned this summer, and they have adjusted the management and welcomed a new head coach for the third consecutive offseason.

Ishbiya said he and new general manager Brian Gregory "are exactly the same as what we want to achieve." When asked why he wasn't worried about star guard Devin Booker's dissatisfaction in the next few years, he mentioned the "consensus".

"Derwen will be happy because we will work hard to win, and everything we do will be consistent with the team's vision and positioning, which he fully agrees with, and I, the general manager and the coach. It should be clear that there has never been such a consensus before from the boss to the general manager, the coach, to star players/core players. But now there is, and it is very clear."

Ishbiya said that the Suns are now committed to building the team "in the right way" for a long time, and the top priority this summer is to introduce "younger, potential" talented players, while creating greater salary cap flexibility in the future.

Here are some other important comments from Ishbiya:

About parting ways with Bill:

"He is a great guy. Just not suitable for the future of the Suns. We told him that. It's the decision we made. We let him know that we want to keep going without him. It doesn't mean he's a bad guy, nor does it mean he's a bad guy... He's a great guy, but for Phoenix and what we're doing, he's not right, we have to continue Keep moving forward and make these decisions."

Regarding why the Suns hired Ultra as head coach:

"We must find a coach who looks at the future rather than the past. Not limited to effective methods in 2020, but considering feasible strategies for 2030. Jordan Ultra has an incredible basketball mind. Everyone we have come into contact with and every reference information has praised him, and so far, we are very satisfied with him. He is very young and will grow with the team, hopefully He can become a future excellent coach for the Suns."

About No. 10 pick Carman Maruac:

"We are looking forward to Maruac. But he is only 18 years old and people expect him a little unrealistic. He is only 18 years old and I have a 14-year-old son who is only 4 years older than my son. He is still a kid and needs to grow. It takes a little time, but we really appreciate his potential and think he can become a truly influential player."

About Durant's heavyweight The return of the deal:

"To be clear, we want Jaylen Green. We like Jaylen. He is 23 years old and the number one scorer on the Western Conference No. 2 seed team. And Dillon Brooks, he is a total tough guy. He is the kind of guy we Phoenix want. If he is not on your team, you may not like him, but I tell you...he will defend the opponent's best player. He has a great partner with Booker. Put him and Booker together, plus Green, and we have a lot of confidence in that."
