Mat Ishbia’s purchase of the Phoenix Suns is expected to be finalized before the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Baxter Holmes. That would perhaps help the squad, led by president of basketball operations and general manager James Jones, work with more clarity at the trade deadline. The Suns will likely be attempting to bolster the rotation for a playoff run, but they also have longer-term salary cap questions to answer. Ishbia has already been meeting with team officials, according to Windhorst, a sign a takeover is expected in the near future. He will be the youngest NBA team owner.
