"We're going to evaluate everything," Ishbia said. "Everything is on the table to evaluate. We have just not started it."

Suns general manager James Jones did state that he was pleased with how head coach Frank Vogel handled things this season.

Vogel's future with the Suns is uncertain, as well as the future of players Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. But Ishbia said there's no need to push the panic button.

"I feel like the narrative around [here is] the house is burning, it's incorrect," said Ishbia.

"It was never, 'We're going to win a championship this year or we got to blow it up... Championship or bust, this isn't bust. We're in a great position. We're going to be in a great position next year."

"Going into this offseason, we have everything we need to be able to add the players or the positions that will make us better," said Jones.
