Please, if anyone is listening upstairs. Get us a new owner. I beg you.

-Signed all Suns fans.

hahahaha
I saw it earlier.

Sarver sucks.

Sarver is right about the Millennials just putting up the "best" bits of their lives on social media...

But as Adande followed up with, I agree that the social media bit has nothing to do with how the Suns can become a winning team once again.

Sell this once proud franchise for crying out loud. You have ran it into the ground and tarnished its reputation under this incompetent Moe, Curley and Shemp ownership. Sarver you dolt, go preach patience to your fellow trust fund baby venture capitalists. You only care about turning a profit with your real estate investment group and waving the foam finger from the sideline. Any more promotional gimmicks to put ass*s in the seats and raise concession sales? I guess you have to cut ticket prices in half because you have finally realized that no one in their right mind would shell out guap to see the sorry product you put on the floor. A miserly spendthrift like you should know that. Too busy buying European soccer clubs with your buddy Nash who you could't convince to join this organization. Enough is enough sign the petition!

Social media is to blame for the Suns struggles. What excuses will the Suns think of next. Brandon Knight has a hard time dribbling because he does not have enough twitter followers?

Even with the latest comments, tell me how its a smart move alienating your players and also those who buy tickets in one interview?

He's a trust fund baby no doubt about it..

I think his father owned a bank and then he actually started a new bank, but I'm sure he had help. It would be nice if Colangelo could finally get a potential ownership group to step up, and let him be the main guy...I know he tried, but it would probably be easier right now.

Maybe Sarver should have another meeting with his players and fire some more people besides the coach. It clearly worked out the first time. 0-5 since he did that including three blowouts that the Suns were annihilated in.

Clearly he doesn't need to do that again. They all told him "What we really need is to get Ben Simmons".

At least he's honest, and hopefully he has realized he wants nothing to do with this team.

It's so weird where the people in charge in the real world are delusional and the people on the internet see things clearly.

Is it possible to fire yourself? If so, please do so, Robert.

I think he's turned Ryan McDonough to the dark side.

2013
“What I believe in is kind of what we did in Boston — you build through the draft and you are hoping you draft well enough and keep all your young players together and have that be your core of the next great Suns team,” he said.

2015
“The past couple years, last year especially, we were a little too young,” McDonough said. “We had too many young guys. It’s tough to win and compete in the Western Conference with a group of young players... We have some more veteran guys now that we rounded out the roster with like Tyson Chandler, Mirza Teletovic, Weems and Leuer. We think those guys will help us win now.”

Most, if not all, team owners became rich being experts in something else, and the only thing that has made them successful in the nba when championships are the determining factor of success, is luckily drafting a superstar, whether it was getting the #1 pick in a sure fire draft or getting that superstar later in the draft.

We have been stuck in the middle for so long now that our chance at getting a franchise player me be a Godsend....we need it.

This isn't unique to millennials, though. Every generations ever is private about the negative aspects of their lives. It's not like previous generations go around announcing they have cancer or that they were just fired from their job or dumped by their gf/bf.

Especially when Phx has never been a preferred destination for big name free agents our only way to succeed is by trades.

KJ, Barkley & Kidd came by way of trades & Nash was the only superstar that wasn't over the hill that signed as a free agent.

We were lucky we drafted Marion and Amare because without those two we wouldn't have had the sort of success that we had during the SSOL era and we only got them by being pretty bad although smart drafting was certainly just as important.

This is one reason why I am against the current lottery rules which favor teams that don't compete and also seem to just be in the lottery year after year by getting top 5 picks year after year by being awful while teams like the Suns who try not to tank are always rewarded with a pick in the teens.

Two changes I would like to see are one, a team can't have the number one pick in consecutive years which just isn't fair to the rest of the teams in the lottery and second make all lottery teams have an equal chance at landing the top spot.

This would reward non playoff teams that struggle to make it into the playoffs but aren't blatantly tanking year after year who continually get high draft picks by being god awful.

what a tool

What that says is McD doesn't have full GM reign here.

“I’m not sure it’s just the NBA,” Sarver said. “My whole view of the millennial culture is that they have a tough time dealing with setbacks, and Markieff Morris is the perfect example. He had a setback with his brother in the offseason and he can’t seem to recover from it.

“I’m not sure if it’s the technology or the instant gratification of being online. But the other thing is, I’m not a fan of social media. I tell my kids it’s like Fantasy Land. The only thing people put online are good things that happen to them, or things they make up. And it creates unrealistic expectations. We’ve had a number of setbacks this year that have taken their toll on us, and we haven’t been resilient. Therefore, it’s up to our entire organization to step up their game.”

What a complete jerkface. This is the culture he brings to his organization ... by bashing young people who make up arguable the most important pieces. I'm old enough to know that a person shouldn't be defined by their age. Each one is an individual and should be measured by what they bring to the table. I hate it when old folks do nothing but whine about young folks. Hell at my job (before I retired) I'd much rather work with the a bunch of motivated 19-25 years olds.

No, believe me, I don't really post on facebook, but I read it on occasion, and I read about breakups, being screwed, cancer, whatever repeatedly. Frankly I am surprised what people like to put out to the world on a daily basis.
