Never underestimate Robert Sarver. This is a money saving deal masquerading as a move to get younger/better, with the cherry on top of bringing a Wildcat back to AZ to sell tickets.
Agree about the Sarver factor. Also, Oubre didn't play during their bubble run.
That said, I'm not that into Rubio, and I think Gordon's stock is way down, he's lost his focus.
Suns and Orlando supposedly talked Gordon at the deadline and rumor was the suns turned down oubre and a first for Gordon.
Sarver sucks and he's been cutting operation costs laying off staff and sold the gleague team. But he also has to try to put a decent product on court to get some fans in the newly renovated arena some of which he actually coughed up his own money on. Id also say he's really more penny wise pound foolish (and just a fool in general). Like back in the day he sold a 1st rounder then gave Marcus Banks like $5mil a year to play backup PG a week later. Or he'd hire cheap coaches then fire them with years left and end up paying multiple guys at once with a total cost higher than if he'd just hired a good one in the first place.
With sarver any awful thing is possible but it does seem like he actually trusts James Jones and between him and Monty Williams there seems to be adults running things and sarver has stayed very behind the scenes.
