The Phoenix Suns have signed GM James Jones to multi-year contract extension.<\/p>\n

Per The Undefeated<\/strong><\/a>, Jones joined the Suns as the vice president of basketball operations in 2018 before being named interim general manager and eventually the permanent general manager in 2019. During his tenure, Jones hired Monty Williams, who was the NABC Coach of the Year last season. He also acquired and re-signed All-Star guard Chris Paul while building a roster that reached the NBA Finals in 2021 and entered Tuesday an NBA-best\u00a0<\/strong>37-9 this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just fortunate and I\u2019m extremely grateful to be a part of it,\u201d Jones said of the contract extension to The Undefeated. \u201cIt\u2019s more than I could have ever dreamed of to be a part of a team like this, some of the best professionals across sports. And to have the success that we\u2019re having, it\u2019s so much fun. When you step into this job, you never really know what it\u2019ll be like, you hear stories about what it looks like, what the profession looks like, and the arc of a career in the front office or in an organization.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
