The Jazz drafted Bailey with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and traded the draft rights to Will Riley to the Washington Wizards for the draft rights to Clayton Jr.
Forcier was an assistant under Mike Budenholzer for one season.
The Suns hired Jordan Ott to replace Budenholzer. A first-year NBA head coach, Ott was an assistant with the Cleveland Cavaliers this past season.
