The Suns plan to interview Jeff Hornacek, Steve Clifford, Kelvin Sampson and J.B. Bickerstaff as well as Quin Snyder for their head coach position.

The names come as expected, but it's a sign Lindsey Hunter is anything but a lock to return as head coach. New GM Ryan McDonough will want to install his own personnel now that he's in charge, so we'd be surprised if Hunter got to hold onto the gig.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

New Suns GM Ryan McDonough endorsed Goran Dragic as the team's starting point guard.

Dragic frustrated many fantasy owners expecting big things from him this season in Phoenix, but it's a good thing that the new GM has already gone on the record in favor of the starting point guard. "Goran Dragic is a very good, tough point guard, a player I've liked for a while," McDonough said. The new GM also complimented Marcin Gortat, Jared Dudley and Luis Scola.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Ryan McDonough, formerly an assistant GM with the Celtics, has been hired as GM of the Suns.

With previous reports indicating McDonough was the favorite, we're not very surprised. McDonough will have his work cut out for him in the desert, and radio host John Gambadoro reported that the new general manager is very unlikely to keep current head coach Lindsey Hunter on the sidelines. It's a smart hire by the Suns. McDonough will be officially introduced on Thursday.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough has "gained momentum" to become the Suns next general manager, according to Ken Berger of CBS Sports.

Berger identifies Bucks assistant GM Jeff Weltman and Spurs executive Scott Layden as other challengers in the ring, but it's been reported previously that it's a fight between McDonough and Weltman for which one gets the job. Whichever candidate is selected will have their work cut out for them.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

The Suns search for a new GM has reportedly been whittled down to two options -- Bucks assistant GM Jeff Weltman and Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough.

Weltman was the early favorite for the job but McDonough may have gained ground after interviewing with Suns president Lon Babby and owner Robert Sarver this week. The Suns want a GM who will emphasize "advanced metrics," a welcome change for the team that inked Michael Beasley last summer.

The Suns have narrowed down their search for a new general manager to three candidates, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The team plans to interview Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough, Milwaukee assistant GM Jeff Weltman and San Antonio assistant GM Scott Layden. It's been rumored that Weltman is the favorite for the job, but it sounds like all three have a legitimate chance at the gig. Whichever candidate is selection, he'll have a ton of work to do in the desert.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic won't play in the Suns' regular-season finale Wednesday night due to an ankle injury.

Dragic is coming off an excellent 21-point, 14-assist performance Monday night. He's been on fire since the All-Star break but the Suns understandably don't feel the need to send him out on the court in the final game of season. Kendall Marshall will get the start in Dragic's place Wednesday night.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic was terrific in a 119-112 win over the Rockets on Monday, scoring 21 points with 14 assists, five boards, three steals and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

He suffered a cut over his left eye and received four stitches. The Dragon has been on fire since the All-Star break, averaging 15.9 points, 9.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.1 triples on 45 percent shooting. This is his second strong finish in a row with his outstanding second half with the Rockets last year, so he's shaping up as a nice player to target in the second or third round next season.

Goran Dragic received three stitches above his eye and returned to the game.

He's fine and is having his way with the Rockets right now. Dragic has turned up the heat down the stretch for the second season on a row.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic hit 7-of-14 shots and two 3-pointers for 21 points, four rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and a block in tough road win at Dallas, helping the Suns snap a 10-game losing streak, while also possibly officially knocking the Mavs out of the playoffs.

Dragic's fantasy owners are surely wondering where this version of the man have been for most of the season, as this was what we were expecting a lot more of this year. It looks like he's going to finish on a high note, and now we'll have to see if the Suns keep him as their starting PG next season.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic cooled off with 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting vs. the Hornets, adding eight assists and four turnovers as the Suns lost their ninth consecutive game.

The Suns are tanking in reality, but fantasy owners had been thrilled with Dragic's averages in his previous four games - 24.0 points and 7.0 assists, while hitting 57 percent of his FGs. Expect him to bounce right back against Jeremy Lin and the Rockets on Tuesday.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic tied a career-high with 32 points on 11-of-13 shooting, three treys, three assists and a perfect seven makes from the foul line in the Suns' 111-107 loss to the Warriors on Friday.

As long as Lindsey Hunter doesn't randomly bench him again, Dragic should be a force in fantasy leagues down the stretch.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic returned to the Suns starting lineup on Saturday, eventually fouling out with 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting, two 3-pointers, four rebounds, nine assists and one steal.

When pressed why he had benched the veteran leader of a team which has lost five straight games, head coach Lindsey Hunter replied, "We're not going to the playoffs, so why should we kill him?" Dragic, for his part, has shown no inclination to pick up DNP-CDs, so with luck Hunter will refrain from random benchings over the final two weeks of the season.

Goran Dragic - G - Suns

Goran Dragic (rest) is expected to start against the Pacers on Saturday.

Kendall Marshall has started the last two games while a healthy Dragic received some unneeded rest by coach Lindsey Hunter. There's nothing official at this point, but it does appear that we have seen the last of Hunter the Dragon Slayer. Owners can put Dragic back in their lineup until further notice and Marshall can be cut in almost all formats.
