The Phoenix Suns are ready to officially usher in a third head coach in as many seasons in a press conference Friday at Footprint Center. The arrival of freshly minted head coach Mike Budenholzer also means that the work will begin to find ways to optimize the roster around the purpoted "core five" of the roster - Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, and Jusuf Nurkic. While governor Mat Ishbia appeared to confirm the return of these core players at the end-of-season press conference just two weeks ago, many have speculated that Nurkic could be dangled as part of a trade offer to create a more seamless fit around the big three.
The rivalry between Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors and Jusuf Nurkić of the Phoenix Suns is far from over. On Monday night on Inside The NBA, Green made a comment that may be seen as some slight shade towards Nurkić, saying the Suns "have no big man." Nurkić responded on social media on Tuesday and clowned Draymond. Nurk says Draymond "Still" needs some help and that Kevin Durant doesn't like Green.
The NBA prides itself on being the best men's professional basketball league in the world and that certainly has some bearing as the majority of the top foreign players have goals of playing in the league. From the late Drazen Petrovic to Dirk Nowitzki to Pau Gasol to Tony Parker, the NBA has seen quite a few talented players from overseas become all-time greats.
