I've been as big a basher of Sarver as much as anyone on this board, but the past is in the past.

I'm glad he FINALLY got someone at GM that I could get decently excited about and he allowed the team to finally bottom out this off-season, not make any stupid Tyreke Evan-ish moves and is stock-piling picks. And even though I really don't like the Len pick, that one ain't on Sarver.

I'm over being mad at him. I just want the Suns to be good again. I miss caring about basketball.

I think the Suns changed direction with the firing of Blanks and the hire of McDonough. Hopefully Sarver will let McDonough make personnel decisions to rebuild the Suns as I believe he no longer wants to play GM. The hire of a quality person as head coach Jeff Hornacek helps. I'm willing to let the past stay in the past and give Sarver a fresh start.

Yea I definitely don't hate him anymore. I gained a lot of respect for him when he was FINALLY able to move on from Nash despite his President of Basketball Ops Babby wanting him and constantly saying that Nash was the sun, moon, stars, galaxy etc of the Suns.

I'm hoping that Sarver has realized that he's not a basketball person and many of the decisions he's had his hand in have put the team in the position they are in right now.

I don't hate the guy nearly as much as when we all could see the Titanic slowly sinking over the course of the past 3 seasons.

I hope the franchise is at a turning point right now, and the basketball decisions will now be made ONLY by the basketball people.

I think money made him realize he needs to hire basketball people
