There too. I saw on the GB thread on Sarver that Bezos sold 2B worth of stock today. I'll think we'll go for higher than that though. Whatever the record is for a team-that's what $arver will be getting.

And to think, that's like 1% of his net worth. Bezos has 500 times the net worth of an already VERY rich Robert Sarver. **** mindboggling

Oh come on man, Bezos has a net worth that’s more than all major pro sports teams owners combined. That’s NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB.

Yeah I don't think regular folk including myself can actually understand how rich Bezos is. I know the number but it's hard to contextualise.

I read an article the other day about Bill Gates' birthday party on mega yacht he had chartered and Bezos attended. Instead of staying in one of the VIP staterooms on that mega yacht, Bezos peaced out on his helicopter to his own mega yacht docked a few miles away. That's the closest I could come to contextualising his wealth: that he's so rich he doesn't want to stay in a VIP stateroom of a billionaire's $200m luxury yacht because he can helicopter back to his own $400m mega yacht.

I mean Sarver has money compared to the likes of me and other regular folk, but compared to his fellow owners. He's not that well off, comparatively speaking to them.

If this happens, I don't think it'll be Bezos but if it were that be cool. Imagine the crazy awesome arena we'll have. He can make Footprint (or whatever it's called) into the practice arena.

Better yet, he can buy back our g league team and put them there.

Booker just said that he considers Earl Watson to be a credible source.

Watching Westbrook play on the Lakers has been so entertaining.

I think this was the easiest stretch of the season. And most if not all of these games were at home too right?

Suns have had a very interesting schedule thus far. The longest they have traveled thus far on a flight for a game has been 1 hour lol. Every single game has been on the west coast and only 2 road games. And Suns won’t have to travel far again till NEXT Friday when play Memphis.

I wonder if the NBA did this on purpose as a nice gesture to give the Suns an easier start knowing their players are tired having played deep into the Finals and then short off season and everything.

Fun game to watch, the third quarter was beautiful.

We played a meh first half but we raised the intensity and effort when matter to win easily the game.

Book played a terrific game.

Ayton was a difference maker in the paint. He missed some shots that he usually finishes but it's OK after being questionable for this one.

Mikal with another efficient night, he is so great in transition and fast breaks. His contract is looking more and more an steal.

Shamet with his first huge performance. He wasn't shy and shot with confidence. He is a baller.

Again...I don't like Nader on the rotation. He doesn't have any court vision and plays too wild.

McGee is playing better than what I expected. I undervalued him, he has a crazy high motor and his athleticism is amazing for a 33 years old 7 footer. Happy to have him on the team.

CP3 didn't even sweat and got 13 assists.

Three game winning streak and counting...

Yeah but no guarantees the Suns win that in overtime. They are starting to get in the habit of starting off slow and playing catch up, though.

Yeah, nice to see Book come on finally after Paul, Bridges and Ayton being the guys who had stepped up in games before. Bridges in most all of them. Paul had one really bad game but great in the rest, and Ayton was excellent the two before his injury.

With Book back looking more like his best version, actually shooting well from 3 and not too many turnovers, and Shamet hitting a lot of shots, it was great to see.

Yeah, Ayton missed a few he usually makes but glad he was putting them up. Defensively he was more active than some would have you believe, but they were just calling a lot of fouls on him, so he had to be careful.

If the league cared about us, we would get the same calls as our weak opponents at the very least. :x
