I like it. Former college player and deep pockets. Perfect fit.

From what I've read, Ishbia isn't an Arizona guy. That's worrying to me. How long will the Suns remain an Arizona team?

Well, the arena remodel locked them in for another couple decades. So, quite a while.
And what is he going to do… move them to Detroit?

I wouldn’t worry about it. in addition to their lease agreement, there is zero chance that the NBA would approve moving the team out of Phoenix.
The Valley is the last place id bring a "ship".
I wouldn't worry Detroit already has a team, kinda.
As long as Mat doesn't own an even bigger foam finger.

Would think if he was trying to send a message it'd be a MSU jersey.

Of course he knew. Everyone in the inner circle probably knew weeks ago.

I suspect, even when sending a message, he still likes to look good and that was definitely a good look for him.

FWIW Arizona has more boats per capita than any other US State.

You know we’ve got perception issues in this country when I see he’s worth $6B and I’m disappointed he’s not Bezos rich and then I find out he’d be the 8th richest owner in the nba. Lol.
I like he’s young. I like he played under Izzo. I like he played for Michigan state when it experienced unparalleled success. Was worried he was a “born on third base” guy taking over his fathers business, but it looks like he took a successful business and made it an absolute mega success. That’s some good chops there. Hopefully he’s the guy and he just makes the suns his baby and we become champions.

He’s a Michigander. They’ve got a team. He ain’t moving it.

I just listened to a Mark Cuban interview on the podcast with Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson. Cuban talks about he shook up ownership in the NBA by coming in with a fresh attitude and ideas and turned around the Mavericks. I am happy to see someone young and passionate come in as an owner
Going to get that G-league team now. So glade this is over.
