"Robert Sarver is widely known throughout the NBA and its fans as the worst owner in the league, and to many, worse than Donald Sterling of the Clippers. These opinions stem from extremely good reason as when you realize all of the atrocious, purely money-saving personel decisions he has made for the Suns it is hard to justify this man's actions. The Phoenix Suns, in the 2004-2005 season(year he bought the team), had by far the best future in the league, as well as being instant contendors every year. With a team full of superstars, present and budding, in Steve Nash, Joe Johnson, Amare Stoudemire, prime Shawn Marion, and many other solid contributors and future first round picks acquired from teams in previous deals. The Suns were almost guaranteed to win championships and maintain an amazing future as well as long as the team had an owner who cared about winning. Unfortunately for the Suns and its die-hard fans, Robert Sarver bought the team after these players were assembled under Bryan Colangelo and that is where the demise of the Suns had begun. After the Suns had one of the greatest regular seasons in NBA history, led by MVP Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, and budding superstars in Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson, they faced the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals with homecourt advantage. Unfortunately, Hoe Johnson broke his nose in the previous series against the Dallas Mavericks and had to miss the first three games of the series and the Suns lost three heartbreaking games to San Antonio. When Joe Johnson returned in game 4, the amazing team was back together and they obliterated the Spurs in game 4 at San Antonio. Sadly, their 3-0 was too big too overcome at that point and they succumbed the series, but even after the series, everyone around the league now realized the Suns as a force to be reckoned with as long as they kept the team together which should have been easy right? Nash had joined the Suns that year and became league MVP, Shawn Marion was an all star small forward putting up 20-10 with great defense, while Amare and Johnson were extremely young and already stars and were only going to get better. Unfortunately Joe Johnson's contract had expired and it was time to re-sign him but then the cancer known as Robert Sarver did not sign him to save money over winning championships and they lost him to Atlanta.

t, the Suns still had a solid team consisting of their three remaining stars and solid pieces. The Suns during this time had a glaring need for a backup pg for Nash and had the 21st overall pick acquired in a previous trade and drafted future all-star Rajon Rondo. However, Robert Sarver struck again, and instead of paying half a million dollars for their point guard of the future, he traded him to Boston for cash considerations. This would not be the first or the last time that Sarver did this, as he traded the number 9 overall pick in the 2004 draft (which would have been Andre Iguodala or Luol Deng) for a future late first-round pick and cash considerations. Then he again he traded THAT pick, which would have been Rudy Fernandez again for cash consideration. The atrocities did not end there as he made a multitude of horrendous money-saving and team decimating trades to the Suns franchise. Sarver also seems obsessed with over-the-hill players that are simply revenue gainers due to their past success but bring no current talent level to the team: Such as trading a still in his prime Shawn Marion for a 37 year old, broken down Shaquille o'neal. Then trading a prime Jason Richardson, and promising rookie Earl Clark for a 35 year old Vince Carter. The finishing dagger blow to the Suns official clinching blow to the Suns, prior to the Richardson trade, was Sarver's unwillingness to sign potential MVP candidate Amare Stoudemire. Amare was adament about staying in Phoenix for the rest of his career as long as he got paid what he deserved and his owner was committed to winning. Amare was in love with Phoenix and simply wanted a max deal which was nothing at all compared to his talent level and ability to carry a team. Even Rudy Gay got a max extension that off-season and Amare is twice the player he is. However, with Robert Sarver as the Suns owner, he refused to pay Amare and lowballed him with an unguaranteed deal that was chump change compared to New York's offer. Sarver knew Amare would never even think about signing that deal and simply made it in an attempt to save-face with the public by acting like he tried to re-sign him. Steve Kerr, his best friend, and hired GM by Sarver(he was simply Sarver's puppet during his term as Phoenix Gm) even quit the team and went back to broadcasting immediatly after realizing how chape and uncommited to winning Sarver was. The Suns now have the worst future in the nba and are now a .500 team with their best hope being an 8th seed and first-round exit, and no hope of even getting a solid lottery pick to rebuild. Phoenix is now stuck in NBA mediocrity, which is the worst position you can be in, as well as no solid young talent, and their best players all being over the age of 35. Many of his other atrocious trades have not even beeen mentionted but as you can tell, Robert Sarver is the worst owner in the history of the NBA, simply due to the fact that the Suns could have had a dynasty for years to come and now they have ended up with this and no champoionships now, or in the foreseeable furture as long as he is the Phoenix Suns owner."
But anyway, I still cant believe what he has done to our team, and me being a die hard Suns fan since i moved to az and fell in love with basketball( early marbury days i think), it is just so much worse for me than if we never had a great team to begin with. If sarver did this crap in New York, the fans would there would have already roasted him at the stake and sent him packing back to San Diego. I knew for sure this guy was up to no good ever since he started selling our first round picks(that we desperately needed to add depth) for F'ing CASH!!! its psychotic and i have no idea how this man has not been protested or something and removed as owner as our beloved team. i was wondering if there is any hope for this cancer to leave our team and go back to his banking business because he obviously doesnt give 2 s**ts about winning or the fans. I would be willing to bet you guys that if some psycho held one of our fans hostage and told him that if he just gave him 2 dollars that he would let them go, or if not he would kill them...that sarver would rather keep his 2 dollars and watch us die. He is that psychotic and i am sick of having the owner of the team that i love be this damn cheap. What was the point of even buying the team in the first place??????? im sorry to rant you guys but this guy needs to be gone from our team and go poison someone else. i love our team to death and root for them in even the worst seasons such as this, but it is just depressing because i know that as long as he is our owner there is no hope whatsoever. if we ever get lucky and land a future beast, he will just release him too and sign some scrub to save money. It is sad and i hope robert sarver sees this because he is the human definition of cancer in my eyes. Sarver please get lost!!!!!!!
