New Owner - Mat Ishbia

[Absolute Zero]

What a mess. Is this the same scandal as the lawsuit that was recently filed, or a different one? Some things never change under new ownership I guess. Still appears to be a crappy organization.

Well if the Times of India says it then…

Sometimes foreign press is the only way we get the truth in the US. Local and National corporate media sources don't always get it done.

I saw a piece on Steve Nash, Barbosa, and Richardson (?) the other day that I was completely unaware of back in the day. That appears to be an example of media being intentionally quiet to preserve relationships or their money stream.

Yep, saw the same thing, here's the article. I guess this is one of the allegations in the lawsuit, brought by another party against the Suns. Not sure why they felt they had to throw Sophie in there.

Sophie Cunningham joins Suns in denouncing 'untrue and extremely hurtful' claim in lawsuit that CEO Josh Bartelstein had an affair with ex-Mercury player

The Phoenix Suns issued a scathing denial on Tuesday in response to a claim that CEO Josh Bartelstein had an affair with former Mercury player Sophie Cunningham.

It is a lot of piling on based on a hearsay comment thrown into the lawsuit.

Gross, really

Messy organization. Maybe it’s the heat lol

Is it me or did it seem to take a while for the denials? Maybe they lawyered up first.

Damn, who really wants to be depressed? Instead of showing some humility, Ish is going full Sparty. This is Sparta?

Every time I see his face now the words "Dan Snyder" pop into my mind. I don't want to think about Dan Snyder and I don't want to think about Ishbia either.

This really sucks. It's going to end very poorly.

They made JJ sign an NDA?

He actually probably did. NDAs are pretty common for front office positions in the NBA.

I still can't get enough of this, it's something that I expect we will bring up repeatedly over the coming decade of failure.

This is a classic "purge the generals!" move from an ignorant despot who is running his country into the ground.

No matter how you view the situation midway through the 22/23 season, to go from where we were then to where we are now requires some unbelievably terrible leadership.

Hey, this memo spells it out. He says he won't be like other owners. Check. He's being true to his word!

How ironic....

Years ago I imposed a filter here that the word "s h i t" censors into "ish" and now it has come into fruition. Sorry guys.

Oof.
