I cannot believe this is the situation we are in... we swapped out a penny pincher for Dan Snyder with a coke problem.

No exaggeration... I truly cannot believe how horrendous Ishbia's tenure as an owner is starting, outside of popcorn pricing... he can seemingly do nothing right.

Bartelstein isn’t/wasn’t involved with the Mercury front office so I’m not sure this is “improper” (allegedly). Is he married?

married or not - hella improper - especially with sophie covering suns games - he's the freakin ceo - all up in the company ink (and it most definitely is all one company)

Not sure that statement about the affair is credible.
idk - if he has a lawsuit going it's pretty important to stay credible and the specifity of it all - not a "higher up" ****ing a "player" from a "source"....

dude is name dropping

can't know if it's true but the human behavior being displayed by this cat suggests it's fafo time - beyond disgruntled - he wants to burn it down

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE'S TAPES

Another Ish buddy who has proven to be spectacularly worthless, and now a creep too.

IF there was an affair (are either married?) it is likely dumb from a corporate perspective. But if it was consenting that doesn’t make him a creep. Just makes him a bad decisionmaker. This was a basketball player not some administrative flunky. I’m guessing if it happened it was consensual. They’re grown adults.

Maybe the Suns ownership should move to Las Vegas and Phoenix gets the expansion franchise.

for sure 1,000,000%

but they'd probably win a championship the year after leaving phx

So here is how it could work.

With the approval of the NBA, the Suns ownership sells the franchise to an approved Las Vegas ownership group.

In the process, current Suns ownership probably make a couple billion dollars in profit. Everyone should be happy. If desired, the Suns could negotiate to keep the name.

Afterward, Phoenix takes Las Vegas' place in line waiting for an NBA franchise.
