Sarver ESPN story

[Slim Charless]

I was trying to look up people that could buy the sun's I started with shark tank...man those people are straight up poor in terms of buying a team lol...I know they have assets and such...but I was expecting higher net worth...

Booker's girlfriend is worth more than all of them, tho she's also worth more than Sarver to lol.

That actually be worse than Sarver lol. All our games on the "E Network".... games being broadcast by Ryan Seacrest. That'd be funny-if it were another team.

For the love of everything holy please don't let the buyer be from your typical stable of Silicon Valley Billi's. That's all I ask.

The other options are probably some finance guy, someone who ran a hedge fund or made a ton of money in private equity buying up companies and doing mass layoffs over and over.


But unlikely to be as dumb as to put out his prejudices in the face of his employees like Sarver.

From basketball POV, maybe more willing to pay luxury taxes, which could lead to a longer contention window. So more likely to extend Bridges and Ayton when they come up for new deals in 3-4 years than Sarver might have. Also they are more likely to stay than bail on an owner that everyone hates.

I don't have any issues with some Silicon Valley guy with deep pockets buying up the Suns. No better or worse than any other billionaire out there.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Congrats, the Suns have been my second or three favorite team going as far back Barkley days. Hopefully with this cheap, racist, POS out they won't sell picks anymore.

Although long term this could be good news how does it affect this year? We are basically a lame duck organization without an owner. I’m not sure how this would affect trades or signing players exactly but I can’t imagine it’s a good thing short term. CP3 is 50 we really can’t afford to waste a season.

Just read it! Yes!

Sarver mismanaged the team for years with his dumb basketball choices but he finally got something right when he brought in JJ and hired Monty as the HC.

Sarver is a POS person and I'm happy that he will sell the team but there's a very big possibility the next owner may not be a POS but a basketball dunce like Vivek Ranadive that mires our team in mediocrity for a good decade or more.

I still need to pinch myself into believing it's not a dream that Sarver is going to sell but I agree with you in principle.

The BEST owners are the ones who you never hear about and understand allowing competent basketball people to handle the basketball side of things is key. Having money and willing to spend is important but it's far from the the most important factor in a good owner. The Spurs owner, Peter Holt, is always the example I like to use when it comes to good owners.

Also LeBron ......
Dude is such hypocritical sh- stick. Ohhhhhhh the misogyny - meanwhile he cheers on a man who's borderline addicted to soliciting female masseuses for sex and handies.

For once in my lifetime I wish there were other superstars publicly holding these guys accountable for being so grossly inconsistent when pushing themselves on the public as thought leaders.

First of all Lebron isn't **** Gandhi, and doesn't need to held to same standard as say a politician or public speaker would.

Second of all the Sarver story and what Sarver did was way worse than Watson, especially considering Sarver's position as owner. We know that there are systems in place that can hold players accountable (even if they don't often work), but it is especially troubling to see an owner get away scot-free with some downright evil ****. An owner of the league you are the face of is going to be more relevant to you than a player in a whole other league.

Thirdly, two wrongs don't make a who cares. Nit-picking LeBron's tweets is a red herring and a distraction from the real problem, which is that Sarver is a huge pos that mistreated this organization and its employees for almost 20 years.

It kinda pisses me off watching you move. Instead of these dogwhistles where you're only going after people on one side of this issue, why don't you just say whatever gross Sarver-apologetics you're thinking.

I'm not talking about Sarver.

I'm talking about LeBron. The fact that "he's not Ghandi" doesn't change a damn thing about what I said. The man CLEARLY throws his weight around the league. While Sarver being gone doesn't bother me in the slightest - guys like LeBron do.

Thank you LeBron's burner account.

I'd rather be LeBron's burner than someone who gets more angry at his tweets than actual sexual harassment in the workplace.

......... says the man who dismissed LBJ's support of a guy who forced sex/handies on masseuses simply because LeBron "isn't Ghandi".

Thanks bro, riveting conversation. Would read again.
