On May 18, Beijing time, the general manager of the Suns publicly announced that the team would not trade the Big Three this summer, and the Suns' 54-year-old new coach Budenholzer officially debuted, and Buden revealed that he had talked to the Big Three, believing that he could lead the Suns to win the championship, and the Sun boss also believed that Buden could lead the team to win the championship.

The Suns officially held a press conference for the new coach, and Budenholzer officially debuted as the 22nd head coach of the Suns, publicly saying: We feel that we have the ability to win a championship for Phoenix, and I am excited about it; We want to be a selfless team, we want to be a united team. In the end, we hope that we can improve every day, both individually and as a team.

Suns owner Matt Ishbia tweeted to welcome Buden, saying: "It's an honor for Mike Budenholzer to be our @Suns' new head coach! He is a proven winner and the right leader to lead us towards our championship goals.

Buden was very happy to coach the Suns, saying: If this team is on the moon, in Alaska, in Denmark, I am willing to coach, I am willing to go anywhere to coach this team.

It is reported that Buden and the Suns signed a five-year coaching contract of more than $50 million.

In his 10 seasons as NBA head coach, Buden has coached 801 regular season games, 484-317, a 60.4% coaching winning rate, leading the team to the playoffs 9 times in 10 years, has coached 104 playoff games, 56-48, a winning rate of 53.8%, and led the Bucks to a championship in 2021; He has won Coach of the Year twice, Coach of the Month seven times, and led the team to the Division Championship six times.

Budden revealed that he has spoken to the Big Three and most of the Suns' players.

Budden bluntly said that coaches must understand their superstars, but ultimately "coach" these players, saying: "I think great players want to be better. They're not satisfied, they're not happy with where they are, they want to win, they want to be coached, they want to take responsibility, they want to understand the atmosphere of training, and so on.

Buden also said that he will make sure the Suns shoot more three-pointers in the new season, which is part of their offensive strategy; Speaking about the team's point guard, Budden said: "There's no doubt that we need to look at the whole lineup and talk about point guards, and I'm sure it's a hot topic. We're going to be able to play without a point guard, we might need a point guard, we need to have all kinds of patterns, play in different combinations.

Talking about the time when he didn't coach last season after being fired by the Bucks, Buden was moved with tears in his eyes and said he was spending more time with his kids, traveling and adjusting. Blunt: I feel good now.

Suns general manager James Jones publicly stated at the press conference that Durant, Booker and Beal will not be traded in the offseason; In other words, the Suns will continue to build a championship roster around the Big Three this summer.

Next season, the Suns' Big Three will have a combined salary of more than $150 million — Durant will earn $51.2 million next season, Beal will earn $50.2 million and Booker will earn $49.4 million, which means the Suns' operating space has been limited.

In the 2023-24 season, Durant, Booker and Beal led the team to a 49-33 record and directly qualified for the playoffs as the sixth in the West, but they were swept 4-0 by the Timberwolves in the first round; The Suns fired Vogel and hired Buden after the game, and the Suns will also hire Brooklyn Nets executive Matt Durham for a team management role, how can the Suns strengthen the team this summer? We'll see.
