Suns bought by Mat Ishbia…Sarver is Gone!!!

[Superbone]

[Flagrant Fowl]

It was bound to happen, but I can't deny being apprehensive about Ishbia hiring friends with no experience running an NBA team.

[Split T]

Paul Rivers was in the Thunder front office for a good while

[Mori Chu]

Is Mateen Cleaves good at helping run an NBA team? Hmm.

[Split T]

No clue…it doesn’t really say what his job will be though either

[Split T]

This story says Isiah Thomas is going to be part of the Front Office.

"It started when I was about 7 years old," Ishbia said of his passion for the sport. "I just fell in love with it, and I loved watching Isiah Thomas. The way he led his team and his competitive nature made me look up to him. It made me want to get to the NBA."

Multiple sources have indicated to FOX Sports NBA analyst Ric Bucher that the expectation is Thomas, the two-time world champion and 12-time All-Star, will be hired by Ishbia to be a part of the Suns front office. Thomas is close with former Oklahoma City Thunder VP and Ishbia ally Paul Rivers, who has been rumored to be a candidate to join the Suns organization as well.

I love Zeke, was born in Michigan and moved to the valley in '83... Was a huge Pistons (Bad Boy era) fan and seen what he did to the Knicks when he was a part of that front office. NO WAY DO I WANT HIM A PART OF OUR FRONT OFFICE!

The IT thing is a little scary. Always seemed to be drama around him when in a FO.

Fuckin boooooo. You can't get rid of Sarver just to replace him with another certified creep.

Creep?

Creep?

Had some paternity issues if I remember.

If hes in the FO, id be really scared he's gonna gut the team and trade all the picks and sign Jared Jeffries again.

[ShelC]

I want my team having nothing to do with Isiah Thomas.

[virtual9mm]

If Ishbia brings in Isiah Thomas, I am done being a Suns fan. This is worse than Sarver.

Ishba would be better off his front office be run by committee on this message board lol

Worse than Sarver? That’s a bit much

Do not want.

[AmareIsGod]

Ugh. IT is a scumbag.

[Aztec Sunsfan]

So, are we then moving from an abusive and racist owner, to a fantasy-trader-style, sexual predator GM?

Would fit right in to Sarver's legacy in the front office.
