I'm glad the general fandom has caught on to the fact that Sarver is a complete piece of $hit. He's probably the worst owner in the NBA. I really want him to feel unwanted and hated here. He needs to sell the team. He'd turn a tidy profit doing so; he can go on to some other business venture.

Does this fall into the 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't' ? If Sarver sells, it could be to someone that is interested in moving them to KC, Seattle, or LV.

I don’t think the nba would let that happen again. They stepped in and kept a franchise(Sacramento) from selling to someone planning on moving the team to Seattle. Phoenix is a better market, with a better history than the Kings.

I think the nba will expand soon. Probably to Seattle and Vegas.

We know Seattle will retain the Sonics name but what will the Vegas team be called.

Vegas Lights to go with the Vegas Knights?

Can't do the Kings but it would have fit with the Aces. Maybe the Black Jacks? The Vegas Dice? Fun game anyway.
Go Suns!

Imagine rooting for an NBA team that sounds like a WWE tag-team.

If they're not called the Vegas Mob then I quit.

There is so much talent in the NBA right now, it's prime for an expansion. They might even expand to 3 or 4 teams.

I was saying that because the NBA mentioned Seattle, LV and Kansas City.

Kansas City is extremely thirsty for a new team. They built a whole new multi-hundred-million-dollar arena and renovated the area of town and everything. And it's mostly just sitting there idle, waiting and hoping for an NBA team to come.

Well the Suns instagram account posted a cringe worthy video yesterday of Sarver assuring everyone he isn't moving the team... what a joke this guy has been.

I just don't know why people are acting like Greta is the Suns fans champion. I don't get it.

Here's some information about that:

The internet fell in love with Greta, who destroyed the Suns' owner at a Phoenix city meeting

Suns fans hate Sarver. Greta used her platform to express the frustrations of the entire fan base. And she's an elderly woman.

It's pretty simple.

She is pretty quick witted, but she's at all these hearings just to make her voice heard. She also wasn't accurate in hat she was saying, but it played well with the casual fans, the uninformed and the people who hate sports owners in general.
