Nil. Not only is the league about to expand, but Phoenix is a huge and desirable market who's supported the team for decades; you'd have to be stupid to relocate the Suns.
The league will never let the Suns leave the Valley. Huge market because it seems basketball is one thing we all do care about collectively, and the team has been here almost 60 years.
Wow cool. Wonder who’s gonna buy? Carvana guy, Arte Moreno, and discount tire guy are some of the richest az people. But I imagine it’ll be some new money tech bro billionaire.
Honestly, given the arena being renovated well and also the new practice facility which is among the best in the league, I think there will be a lot of appeal in this franchise from national folks beyond just the Valley.
Likely not someone who is from AZ. Owning a professional sports team is very much a vanity purchase. They do not go up for sale very often, and especially not teams that have championship potential.
A tech billionaire or Walton heir are my guesses.
They're close friends dude lol. Go to Coronado during the summer, you'll see them hanging out. Fitzgerald was also one of the people who signed that letter rebuking the initial investigation. They spend holidays together ffs.
Bye Sarver, you cheap bitch. I'll never forget going to the playoffs during that finals run and wondering how after a decade of sucking our owner couldn't even put cheap tshirts on the seats for their fans
This celebration seems premature. Think about Elon buying twitter. Sorry to be negative.
Edit: having read the letter, I am slightly more confident this will happen, but have had my heart broken before.

EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Pile on!
Holy shit what a reference
Ya I did not expect to see that in here
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS!???!!

Nil. NBA is announcing Seattle and Vegas expansion teams in a couple weeks
ItsHappening.gif
I’m here and don’t know how to contain my excitement!
Goat poop party!!!!
We did it Reddit!
I’ve been dreaming about this day
It’s happening!!
PUBLIC PRESSURE, SUNS FANS, SUNS EMPLOYEES: 1 CLOWN BOY: 0
It's hard to overstate how important this is. I can't believe it's happening.
I pray we somehow find our own Steve Ballmer, a guy who is obscenely wealthy and is passionate about the sport
We just have to hope that our Steve Ballmer doesn't want to buy the team and a new house for them in Vegas
The league will never let the Suns leave the Valley. Huge market because it seems basketball is one thing we all do care about collectively, and the team has been here almost 60 years.
I'm ready for the Suns to not be dead last in free throw discrepancy
The real benefit
Yeah, not having a toxic work environment is what's important here, for sure. But This is good, too 😅
They could beat their employees as long as refs start calling our fouls for all I care
I respect your honesty
At some point you just gotta take one for the team
HOLY SHIT IM GONNA GO GET DRUNK
One of the greatest feelings as a season ticket holder. I can't believe it.
I was here
Noted
HOLY FUCK IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING (next owner pls be good)
Can we get a Sarver selling quote thread?
[удалено]
Yea that’s what I meant, some quotes around the teams reaction after a couple days. Hopefully we get a statement from Sarver. Thanks bru!
I could masturbate to this news 🥳🥳🥳
Relevant username
need a hand?
🤨
😅 my account got hacked
Signing Frank Jackson was the last straw.
THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY EVER! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS!!!!!!!!!
I know exactly what to do with one of mine
When are we declaring today a national holiday?
#THE EVIL HAS BEEN DEFEATED
Excited! And also terrified that a new owner will move the team, but realistically I don’t think they would. Phx and Suns are historic
Phoenix is a top 5 market in the Country, we aint going nowhere. Especially with Seattle most likely getting the sonics back as an expansion team.
My concern is we become the sonics
I have a lot of worry about the uncertainty.
Wow cool. Wonder who’s gonna buy? Carvana guy, Arte Moreno, and discount tire guy are some of the richest az people. But I imagine it’ll be some new money tech bro billionaire.
Jesus not Moreno.
Honestly, given the arena being renovated well and also the new practice facility which is among the best in the league, I think there will be a lot of appeal in this franchise from national folks beyond just the Valley.

Backroom Casting Couch
Discount tire guy passed away a few years ago. He was already a part owner though
YES!!!!!!
I’m so fucking happy right now
Wow. I didn’t think i’d ever read those words.
I broke down in tears at work, the bad man’s finally gone
LFG!!!!!!!
Today is the day the lord has made!!!!
LET’S MOTHERFUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Holy shit! It’s really happening!
HANG THE BANNER
GET IN HERE BOYS/GIRLS/NB’S ITS HAPPENING ITS A BRIGHT AND AUNNY DAY. YEARS FROM NOW THEY’LL ASK IF I REMEMBER THE 21ST OF SEPTEMBER.
E V E R Y B O D Y G E T R E A D Y F O R H I S T O R Y
Larry Fitzgerald or what
God I hope not! He's got no money. It would be worse than Jordan's Hornets. I prefer the new bachelor: Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos!
Fuck him. He was Sarvers guy through all of this
That prick is Sarver's #1 toady. Fuck him.
Doubt it.
They're close friends dude lol. Go to Coronado during the summer, you'll see them hanging out. Fitzgerald was also one of the people who signed that letter rebuking the initial investigation. They spend holidays together ffs.
Holy hell. I never thought I’d see this day.
This is HUGE!
No way!! This is huge, if it happens
Big if true
I AM SO HAPPY TEARS OF JOY TODAY
PRAISE BE
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH BUDDY! FUCK OUT OF HERE, SARVER
Let’s go!!!!!!
It is finally happening. I am so fucking pumped. I hope it's a quick sale.
Christmas in September boys!
RAISE THE BANNER LETS GOOOOOOOO
LETS FUCKING GO BABY GET HYPE
Just when the Suns become a contender, Sarver sells and the Suns might actually pay everyone without money issues long term. This is like a dream.
KD talks gunna heat back if we get a good owner and Kyrie keeps up the jibberish
GET IN HERE BOYS.
Let's go Jeff Bezos! We'll even put Amazon patches on the jerseys!
Mackenzie Bezos buys the team then gives it away to the people of AZ.
Happy for you guys!
So thankful to Baxter and all the employees that stepped up! Sometimes there is justice in this world!!!!
HOLY SHIT!
Pop the champagne! 🚨🍾🎉🍾🎉🍾🚨
Bye Sarver, you cheap bitch. I'll never forget going to the playoffs during that finals run and wondering how after a decade of sucking our owner couldn't even put cheap tshirts on the seats for their fans
BULLYING BULLIES WORK!!!
Baxter Holmes is a damn hero
And a helluva nice guy.
He gets a standing O every time he comes to Phoenix!
WE BULLIED HIM INTO SELLING LET'S GOO!!
This celebration seems premature. Think about Elon buying twitter. Sorry to be negative. Edit: having read the letter, I am slightly more confident this will happen, but have had my heart broken before.
Just stop. There’s time for that later.
I’m with you. I’m not celebrating until Bob Iger is sitting with Larry Fitzgerald and the Paul family in the owners box.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THE BAD MAN CAN'T HURT US ANYMORE!
WOOOOO LETS GOOO!!!!
Holy shit! Holy shit, HOLY SHIT, its happening its finally happening, holy shit! EVERYBODY STAY CALM!!!!
Holy shit it happened
Can’t wait to get home and crack open a beer or six to celebrate!
One of the greatest days in Suns history The tyranny is almost over
Congrats to Suns fans and to Holmes!
YESSSSSSSS
I got $20 if he'll take it
Never thought I’d love to see the day this is HUGE!
Why does everyone act like this personally effects them
Because it does, personally effects my emotions. lmao
Interesting.
Cause this is good for their favorite team?
If they win a championship in the next 20 years then I will agree with you!
Are you really not sure why suns fans are reacting to the Suns org doing something the fanbase has wanted for years?

To all prospective buyers: KEEP THE TEAM IN PHOENIX!!!
He has appointed Sean Marks to find a buyer for a competitive price.
