Have a cousin who worked directly with Sarver for years -- she said he never really took a backseat approach, even though that's what's been reported. She likened him to an annoying backseat driver who didn't really know where they were going, but still insisted they were right. So don't be fooled...Sarver is still very much involved.

3. The Phoenix Suns could be the next team to be sold


There are already rumblings around the league that Robert Sarver, who bought the team from Jerry Colangelo for $401 million in 2004, is looking to cash out. While the NBA would never publicly admit it, the league would likely be quite happy if Sarver chose to move on, given the complete collapse of the franchise under his watch.

Despite never winning a championship, the Suns were long one of the league’s top franchises, making the playoffs in 24 of their first 36 seasons. Since Sarver took over, the Suns have missed the playoffs eight times in 13 seasons — a number that’s almost certain to grow this year to nine whiffs in 14 seasons, given Phoenix has already fired its coach, Earl Watson, and appears destined for yet another high draft pick.

Given the recent sales of the Rockets and Nets, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Sarver get somewhere close to $2 billion for the team — five times what he initially paid, enough return on investment to make anyone think long and hard about moving on.

The scary thing about this is that there are a lot of rich people living in Seattle.
That's what I've been afraid of, too. From Sarver to the Seattle Super SunIcs. Too many S's. From bad to worse for Phoenix Suns fans. Scary is right.
