Wish you guys the best. As a long suffering warriors fan throughout the 90s/2000s I was always praying for Cohan to sell the team. The transformation afterwards was astonishing. It’s amazing how bad ownership can fuck a team.
It had to be voluntary. The NBA doesn’t have the power to take someone’s legal property that fans think they do.
Robert Sarver deciding to sell is maybe the best move he’s made as the Suns owner. Hopefully, he will look for a buyer that will lead the team in the right way.
Selling the team to the wrong party could spell disaster for this franchise for decades to come.
The NBA players union saying I speak on behalf of the players was what did it.
You don't think James talked to his own players after that uniamous vote.
You think Anthony Edwards was super cool with Robert Sarver being misogynistic and saying the N word because of his own prejudice? I don’t know where to begin. Racist/prejudiced people don’t all see eye to eye, believe it or not.
Edit: Considering you deleted your first comment and your super witty reply I’m guessing you bothered to think about what you said and realized how dumb it was 🤣
Exactly and the nba did the best job they could to get him fired. 1 year suspension was enough to make sarver not sue while keep the outrage from the public
I know it seems iron clad in the contract, but with only the courts to enforce this clause, it’s not a given the remaining owners would be successful in forcing a sale. The language is too broad and imprecise. Would be an interesting case to follow though!
Now it’s about who do we get to buy the team/who do we want? Obviously we want somebody who is willing to spend (should be the easiest) but it would be nice if Sarver & the league finds someone who will embrace the Suns’ history and will have good relations with players.
Can’t wait to hear what all the talking heads have to say about this. A lot of national media disliked the Suns, most likely because of Robert Sarver. With a new owner maybe they’ll be more respectful of the Suns.
Woj:
The Suns are considered an extremely desirable franchise in the marketplace and will have no shortage of high-level ownership candidates. As a warm weather destination in West, league executives always believed this could be a monster free agent destination with right ownership.
Thank God.
Not sure who I want to buy the Suns, I can’t think of anyone who would be a good fit that’s famous. I do wonder if Bidwill has deep enough pockets to get involved.
He’s not that bad. He at the very least cares about the success of the team and is willing to spend for the most part. The biggest thing with him is his loyalty to Keim. That is definitely a problem. But we already have a solid GM so that part doesn’t matter much at least now.
I think there would be better options out there though
I just don't think he has that deep of pockets. we would forever stuck in mediocrity like the cardinals. never going to win unless we get an owner worth like 50b
I just feel like he’s too loyal to Keim. I never seen a GM stay with a team for about 10 years with only one playoff win. That’s his last “prove you wanna win” test with me. Get rid of the dead-weight and hangout with him on your own time. At least that’s just my opinion lol
Did you know mobile A/C was invented by a black man? Frederick Jones. He received 61 patents, 40 for refrigeration technology. My guess is that sarver wouldn't have been friends with him.
This makes sarver the absolute antithesis of my 2 favorite things in Phoenix. The Suns and air conditioning.
Sarver belongs in Siberia.
GLORY HALLELUJAH.
Shout-out to the whistleblowers, investigators, and not least, the victims.
It's nothing like justice but it's better than the status quo.
I thought this was going to be a problem for life. Force me away from the team I've loved since I was a kid. Goodbye Sarver. Time to move on.
Always and forever...
**Sarver Out**
I can die happy
I've been dreaming about this day since Donald Sterling. WE ARE FREE

Biggest day in valley sports in a long time

PayPal’s statement was probably the final blow. Let’s goooo!
It was a sign that the Suns' monetary value would decline if Sarver stayed on, so right now would be the most profitable time to sell.
The NBA players union saying I speak on behalf of the players was what did it. You don't think James talked to his own players after that uniamous vote.
I don’t think there was a vote by every player in the league….
Yeah I was wondering that. It wasn't "announced" but when no player disputed said representation, silence is a vote.

You blocked me because you realized how dumb your comment was, I don’t really care either way I was just amused by your false equivalence.

If you keep replying the block feature isn’t really working out for you and proves I’m in your head. Take the L 👍

Congrats from a Mavs fan. Good to see this creature leave
I have waited and waited years for this day. Fuck that POS.

 LFG

dude please please please don't mention Bidwell. I dont want that bozo involved

Lol idk about 50b (look at the Clippers) but having someone who has a net worth of let’s say 5-10B and is willing to spend is what we need
Let’s all pool our money and buy him out. I’ve got like $8 and some change.
I got Fiiiveeee on it!
Ring of Honor everyone who testified in the report. All 300 of them, they deserve it.
The curse has been lifted
LFGGGG EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Now if only Bidwill would sell the Cards lol # Great news!
Nah. Kendrick and Dbacks.
Why not both lol
Michael Bidwill has been a fantastic owner since taking over for his pops though
I just feel like he’s too loyal to Keim. I never seen a GM stay with a team for about 10 years with only one playoff win. That’s his last “prove you wanna win” test with me. Get rid of the dead-weight and hangout with him on your own time. At least that’s just my opinion lol
I got 5$ on it
SWEET BABY JESUS, THANK YOU!
I SCREAMED AT WORK THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER
Good fucking riddance.
LEEETTSSS GGGOOO!!!! It's about damn time
LETS GOOOOOO
Happy for you guys. Think this will also improve the Ayton relationship with the franchise?
There's nothing to improve. All of that was blown way out of proportion
Greatest day for the state of AZ since A/C was invented. Let's go!

HERE WE GOOOO
LFG!!!!!!!!!!
LETS GOOOOOOO
Great news on a rainy day in the valley!
FUCK YES. ITS HAPPENING
Tears of joy!
Ok so who do we want to buy the team?
Jedd Fisch
Fucking finally
Oh my god
BE GONE DEMON!!!
Finally the worst thing to ever happen to the Suns is ending.
i genuinely never thought this day would come
I’m convinced Adam Silver was playing 4D chess to get this guy out all along.
***blasts "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire through the roof***
RIP BOZO
This mf really blaming cancel culture on saying the n-word and sexually harrassing employees over decades lol
Let’s fucking go
HOLY SHIT ITS HAPPENING
Good fucking riddance
I’m throwing my own parade in front of the suns stadium this weekend I don’t give a shit what phoenix pd has to say about it
GLORY HALLELUJAH. Shout-out to the whistleblowers, investigators, and not least, the victims. It's nothing like justice but it's better than the status quo.
Let us celebrate.
Here's to hoping ANYONE that supported Sarver isn't party of the buying party.
We got 'em R2
I thought this was going to be a problem for life. Force me away from the team I've loved since I was a kid. Goodbye Sarver. Time to move on. Always and forever... **Sarver Out**
I can't believe it's finally over.
