The Phoenix Suns promoted Brian Gregory to general manager on Thursday as part of a front office shakeup following one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. The team also said that former general manager James Jones will transition to the role of senior advisor.

Phoenix announced it promoted vice president of player programming Brian Gregory to the general manager position as previous GM James Jones transitioned to a senior advisor role. Gregory will be under the spotlight during the offseason as the team looks to hire a new head coach and perhaps even trade Kevin Durant.

For an owner known for making major splashes (trading for Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal), this was an amazing reversal. But will it work?
