Former Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer and Suns assistant Kevin Young are also on the list, Haynes adds.
The Suns fired 2021-22 Coach of the Year Monty Williams on Saturday, days after losing Game 6 to the Denver Nuggets at home in a Western Conference semifinal playoff series.
The Raptors fired Nurse on April 21 following a disappointing home loss to the Chicago Bulls in the NBA’s play-in tournament.
Nurse (2020) and Budenholzer (2015, 2019) have both previously won Coach of the Year honours.
Nurse registered a 237-170 record as Raptors head coach, guiding the team to a championship title in the 2018-19 season, the first in franchise history.
