In the 2021 NBA finals, Budenholze led the Bucks to beat the Suns 4-2 to win the championship. No one expected that after only three years, the coach who had once firmly rooted in the Sun would become the new commander of the Phoenix Legion. Plans never catch up with changes. The Suns adopted an efficient change of coach. Within 24 hours of dismissing Vogel, they reached an agreement with Budenholzer and gave the champion coach a contract of more than 50 million dollars over five years. Budapest is also a candidate for the Lakers' coach, but the Suns shot faster and harder, quickly poaching one of the Lakers' favorites.

There is a reason for the Sun's quick move. At present, there are not many famous coaches at home, but there is only one coach like Budenholzer who has won the championship and has been active in the NBA in recent years. NBA coach selection also depends on his ability to grab people. In order to avoid nightmares, there are only advantages and no disadvantages to quickly get rid of Budapest.
The Suns are not worried about the coach contract, after all, the boss Matt Ishbia is not poor in money. In May 2024, the assets of the country will reach US $10.1 billion. Ishibia is crazy about spending money and dares to gamble. After he took office, the team introduced Durant and recruited Bill to build a luxury team.
The Sun has given Brad a five-year contract worth more than 50 million dollars, making him another NBA coach with a salary of 10 million yuan. Now the top coaches in NBA are making tens of millions of annual salaries.

Budenholzer is an Arizona native who was a Sun fan when he was young. Boushuai was born in the Spurs. He served as coach under Popovich for many years and won four championships as an assistant, witnessing the rise of the Spurs dynasty. Budapest later coached the Hawks and Bucks and achieved good performance.
He coached the Hawks from 2013 to 2018, winning 213 and losing 197, helping the Hawks become a strong team in the east, and was elected the best coach in 2014-15.

Budapest was fired and then went to Bucks, which transformed the team. He was re elected as the best coach in 2018-19 and led Bucks to win the championship in 2020-21. Brad Shuai has coached the Bucks with a record of 271-120.
Throughout his coaching career, Budapest's coaching record has reached 484 wins and 317 losses. Among the coaches who have coached at least 800 games in the NBA, Budapest's coaching victory rate is 60.4%, ranking fifth. Phil Jackson 70.4% ranked first, Auerbach 66.1% ranked second, Riley 63.6% ranked third, Popovich 62.8% ranked fourth.
Obviously, according to the coaching experience, Budenholzer is the leading figure among many coaching candidates, and Budhier is from Arizona, which is equivalent to a fellow villager, which makes the Sun even more eager to win Budhier as soon as possible.

In addition, it is very important that Budapest has rich experience in coaching star players. When he was a teaching assistant in the Spurs, the Spurs had David Robinson, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. When coaching Hawks, he once promoted Horford, Cowell, Millsap and Tiger to be all stars together in 2014-15. When he came to the Bucks to coach, Alphabet Brother, Middleton and Hollady formed a very tacit trident.
Brad Shuai's important task in coaching the Sun is to coordinate the relationship between Durant, Booker and Bill, so that all three can play, rather than be suppressed. Obviously, the Big Three didn't form a good enough chemical reaction this season. Durant is not comfortable, neither are Booker and Bill.
Vogel failed to solve this problem, and now the problem is left to Busai. The test of Budapest is not small. After all, the salary space of the team has been locked. The annual salary of the three giants has exceeded 150 million dollars. The team is short of point guards and center positions, but there is no big contract or trade chips to recruit people. Brad can only hope that General Manager James Jones will bring him some cheap and high-quality players to fill the gaps.
