Robert Sarver is in Big Trouble (ANNOUNCES SALE PROCESS)

[Dr. Jones]

So I just want to drop in to see if the Big trouble has started. I am patiently waiting.

yeah... talk about a story that went away faster than a fart in the wind.

remember Portland immediately did their investigation on O'Shea right after this story broke. Dude was gone in a matter of days.

Talking about movies and TV shows is more productive at this point.

The reality is that no one does anything without tape / audio of it.

It's the advantage that some have via wealth or otherwise

Yup

They do make super small cameras people can wear that no-one even knows they have on. You would think someone would do that if their boss was that bad.

Silver was asked about the Suns/Sarver investigation and said nothing, basically. However it is an update of sorts I felt I'd share after seeing it mentioned in an article about the Simmons/Harden trade.

Here's the quote about the Suns....

On the league's investigation into Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver's alleged history of racism and misogynistic behavior that was opened months ago, he offered no clarity. "No update on the Suns investigation," he said. "It's ongoing."

Silver: Common interest in seeing deals honored

Adam Silver addressed a litany of issues the NBA must navigate moving forward, but did not have many definitive answers.

Ya kinda wonder if they saw pretty quickly that the Suns would be a contender this year and decided to bury the investigation at least until the season is over so they do not have a Sarver narrative following one of their best teams through the playoffs.

My guess is that this will heat up again at the end of June.

This definitely could be.

He's a rich white guy.
They will drag this out until we forget or die.

I like the reply suggesting the burner account is Gambo because he's the only person who would spell "search" as "surch".

I would have figured it was Mike Olbinski.

Perhaps the NBA investigation is winding down if more than 300 people have been interviewed and investigators are preparing to interview Robert Sarver.


Baxter Holmes ESPN Senior Writer:


Sources said more than 300 people have been interviewed as part of the investigation, which the league launched in November after ESPN published a story that included allegations of racism and misogyny in a sometimes hostile and toxic workplace in Phoenix during Sarver's 17-year tenure.

Sources: Suns owner to speak with investigators

The lawyers leading the NBA's investigation into the Suns are preparing to interview Robert Sarver regarding the accusations against the team and its majority owner, sources close to the investigation told ESPN.

I'd imagine Sarver would be one of the final interviews since he's essentially the one on trial. They'll know what to ask him about specifically by this point and have a number of incidents to question him about. Hopefully this signifies the end of the investigation, or the beginning of the end.

These are my thoughts as well. I'm shocked there aren't any leaks if they have found serious violations.

Me as well. I have seen nothing to indicate that the culture of the organization is a problem. The accusations have been all about the behavior of one man.

I really don't care one way or the other what happens to Sarver but it does bother me if the entire organization is accused because of only him.

 

[Yuma]

I heard on the radio the NBA investigators have conducted over 300 interviews.

I read the SI article but I didn't see anything new from the NBA investigation.

It sounded like a group late to the party.

Robert Sarver: Social justice activists demand removal of Suns’ owner - Sports Illustrated

A newly formed coalition has raised its concerns to NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

It would have bothered me less if they'd come out with this before the investigation was announced. But now it seems like they want this to go straight from accusation(s) to punishment and just ignore the investigation.

This is exactly the way it read to me... that the investigation is taking too long and he is already guilty.

IMO, this is taking a step backwards.

 

[Yuma]

I don't see this amounting to much EXCEPT, BIG IF, Silver brings him in and says that Sarver needs to take some minor punishment to close this issue out, and Sarver is stubborn and remains steadfast he will admit ZERO wrong doing. Then I think it could escalate. If he has good lawyers they would explain, that essentially he ends the threat by complying. My impression of Sarver is that he could make a mountain out of a mole hill at the end of this.
