You are reading way too much into the triangle of Communications comment. An owner/managing general partner—he is not just an investor, he is the CEO of this team—has to be in on the communication. He signs the checks after all.
listen, I know you want Sarver to just walk away. I am no fan of his either. But he still has to do his job while he is here.
Back to Sarver and the players. I really do not know of Sarver having a bad relationship with players. If anything, he has gotten too close to players and then they got really miffed when McD played hard ball with them or failed to communicate.
whatever the case. We are going to have a window with free agency we did not have before. Winning, a young core, Monty, and a pass first point guard can be powerful recruiting tools.
That is not true, JC. That is absolutely not true! Jason Rowley has
the title of CEO and President of the Suns, not Robert Sarver.
Sarver's jurisdiction is as Managing Partner of the investor group.
They oversee income and expenses. They are bankers.
But he crossed the line and became involved in the technical side
of the team, with no expertise to back it up, rather than just as
the bean counter. He actually played General Manager at one time.
And, as we've seen, he did it for egotistical reasons, evidently
trying to become an instant celebrity. Remember, Jerry started
as General Manager, and eventually became Managing Partner.
Even the celebrities who invested in the Suns 50 years ago --
Andy Williams, Ed Ames and Bobbie Gentry -- were just that,
investors. Not one of them tried to call attention to themselves
or participate in the day-to-day decision making of the team.
Aren't you troubled by Sarver's 'triangle of communications'
comment? He supposedly moved on from that. Evidently not.
As the League adjusts to the new Suns and our surprising start
(with an early home court advantage) settles into middle of the
pack, keep your eye on Sarver. History says that his meddling
will return.
If it hasn't already.
