You have to wonder how different the Suns last 20+ years would have been if Jerry hadn't had his health scare and reacted by selling the team.

I wish him the best, but at 86 I wonder how long and to what degree he would be involved.

Jerry still not slowing down at the age of 86:

He never should have sold, man.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

I wish he kept majority ownership and never sold, try to get Phoenix that championship.

I think Jerry would have ponied up the money for Joe Johnson, and I think his relationship with David Stern would have prevented Amare and Boris from being suspended. That would have got us our first ring.

I guarantee you we would have won a Championship, bub. Colangelo would have made sure Joe Johnson would have remained a Sun and we would have won it all.

The Jerry j*** here has always been hilarious.

We didn't accomplish shit with him.

We got to the finals once with Sarver in his short tenure. Facts are facts.

Ishbia time will tell. It's been bad so far but wayyyyy to early to judge

Hi sauce, I put your post in a spoiler tag since it was about politics. Your opinion is valid and I don't want to silence you, just trying to keep that stuff off the main board.

I don’t know…. Depleting our draft picks, all of the MSU stuff and buying out Beal doesn’t give you pause to where this is going? I see a guy who’s made too many quick, dumb decisions.
