Mat Ishbia says the Phoenix Suns really liked Bronny James ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns were one of two teams Bronny James was reportedly interested in joining ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft - the other being the Los Angeles Lakers.
Speculation ran wild on a possible James-Phoenix connection through the offseason, and Suns owner Mat Ishbia hopped on"We really liked Bronny, we thought he was a good player. I know the Lakers drafted him and I hope he has a great career," Ishbia said. "We want Phoenix to be a destination for the Mercury, for the Suns, for the players, for fans, we want it to be a destination. So when people want to play for us or want to be part of our organization - whether it's free agents, whether it's rookies - it feels great. We're trying to build that here in Phoenix, we're trying to do something special and so it's always a positive thing in my opinion.
The Suns ended up with Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro in the draft, so the team isn't overly upset they missed on Bronny.
