They'll probably just move to a different Arizona location no? The Arizona Suns makes more sense anyway...

Hello to all. Long time lurker, new poster
The Seattle Suns. Makes about as much sense as the Utah Jazz.

Lol, yeah, they’ll need to change the name of the team.
Seattle Drizzle??

I don’t honestly see Sarver moving the team from Arizona, but I wouldn’t put it past him to leverage that option in order to try to get funding

San Diego Suns are a definite possibility. But I'll try not to freak out yet. Negotiation always start with both sides playing hardball.

I’ve been here, in the shadows for a LONG time.
I’m now what’s known as a damned yankee; I started out as a NY’er and moved to SC for my old job.
I’ve been a Suns fan for as long as I’ve liked sports; 1993 to be exact, and I think most know what happened for the Suns in 93. I’ve posted once or twice before; back in the Tsakalidis days, but now I’m ready to jump into the discussions full bore.
I respect all of the “veterans” on here, and hope to add my 2 cents to the mix.

I like to think of my fandom as a square, lol.
I’m from NY, and I’m a fan of the Dolphins, Suns, and the Mariners.
You could say I’m a hard luck case.

Sure am. The area is amazing for college sports. I’m planning on heading up to NC when the Suns play Charlotte in March.

The middle of the country feels very left out. Perhaps you have a favorite college football or basketball team?

It’s funny, cause growing up in western NY I never got into any college sports. Even now, I rarely watch. To me, college is more of the minor leagues of professional sports. The superstars (Marino, Barkley, Griffey) are what attracted me to my teams.
I suppose that I’m a SEC guy by heart now; ROLL TIDE; so I moved to the ultimate location.

Welcome, Bucktastic365.

BookTheGoat is also new and has been allotted one (1) grumpy day per week. You may share his.

It will be up to you two to work or who gets use of the grumpy day on any given week.

Nice! You might have a lot in common with ShelC who is also a born and raised New Yorker who became a Suns fan. I think he because a fan a year or two before you when Hornacek was still on the team. It was the Suns' fast paced basketball that attracted him to the team versus the Knicks smash mouth basketball at the time with Anthony Mason and Co.

Because there is another city with an arena already built just waiting for them.
