They are saying its only going to 1B.   Hard to imagine it going for that little.   I know the Clips were in LA but they sold 2B+ almost 10 yrs ago.    Hell the Timberwolves sold for $1.5B last yr.   Cant imagine a franchise that has history and is pretty good right now going for 33% less than the TWolves.

Either way, that asshole is gonna make a killing and he is still whining like a bitch.   Saddest part is there large number of folks that will side with him and chalk this up to "wokeness" or PC going to far.

Totally agree on all points. I thought the same thing regarding the valuation. The franchise is in pretty good shape, their arena had a massive renovation in the not so distant past and construction is wrapping up on a massive new state of the art training facility in one of the nicest neighborhoods in PHX. 

If he was smart, or had better PR people, he would have said something along the lines of being remorseful and realizing his continued ownership of the teams would be an ongoing distraction and then commit to donating some sum of the proceeds to charity(ies) in the community.

  • I will concede it could be difficult to earn the trust of a locker room full of NBA players after they find out you slept around with a couple women who weren't your wife.

    I was informed by one of my friends today that Ime has a bit of a reputation around San Antonio. I had no idea. I asked for clarification and his response was “my ex wife”. Lol.

    Wait a minute. You want the Spurs to take the most mentally broken player in the league who also has a bad back and is owed $110 million AND give up 2 first round picks for the honor of trying to reha

"in our current unforgiving climate"

What a fucking piece of shit. I can't imagine being a Suns fan and being subjected to that horseshit for so long. 

He couldn't fit "cancel culture" in there somewhere? What a bitch.

 

Colossal bitch, and the sales price will be north of $2B.

Phoenix is a popular place, 2 billion should be the starting price. Glad to see Sarver go, dude was a shitty owner. Hopefully the new owners don't suck as much. 

Yeah... MCL sprain? Pretty much time to shut him down for the season.

And fuck Robert Sarver in the goat ass. I can't imagine how hard I would be celebrating today if I were a Suns fan. What a fantastic day for that organization.

NBA report on Sarver, easy read if you're interested. Nobody, especially the "anti-cancel culture" mongoloids, should be dismissing the allegations without reading it. This is not Michael Scott making "that's what she said" type jokes, it's much worse.

There are a ton of things in here that I or any excutive at the company I work for would be immediately fired for doing. There's no defending this guy, it's a litany of inappropriate actions, some of which may be criminal, that have not been addressed simply because he's the owner of the team.

Third, Sarver told a story at a business meeting in 2021 about how he learned what a “blow job” was when he was a child. Attendees of the meeting reported thatthey found the story inappropriate for a work setting.

Fourth, on at least 20 other occasions in workplace settings throughout his tenure, Sarver made crude references to sex or sexual anatomy, or joking sexual analogies.

Fifth, early in his tenure as team Governor, Sarver made a comment to afemale employee about his genitalia. While preparing to take a shower at teamfacilities, Sarver entered an adjacent room where a male employee and a female employee were meeting. Upon seeing them, Sarver made a comment to the female employee, reported as “you gotta get out of here . . . you’ve never seen anything this big.” The female employee found Sarver’s comment inappropriate.

Sixth, also early in his tenure as team Governor, Sarver raised at a teambusiness meeting whether the Suns should consider a marketing opportunity with a company that manufactured licensed swimwear. As part of this discussion, Sarver circulated the company’s product catalog and a representative photo of his wife wearing a Suns-logoed bikini. Attendees reported that the circulation of the photograph was inappropriate and made them uncomfortable. In his interview with investigators, Sarver acknowledged the conduct but said he was simply trying to persuade the Suns marketing team to consider featuring the bikini in the Suns team shop and noted that his wife was not in a sexual pose.

Finally, the investigation collected documents in which Sarver forwarded to a small number of male Suns leaders joking pornographic material and crude emails,

including emails containing photos of a nude woman and a video of two peoplehaving sex. Sarver acknowledged having forwarded sex-related jokes, including one

with a pornographic video, to a small group of male Suns employees.

Instances of Inappropriate Physical Conduct

The investigation finds that Sarver engaged in physical conduct that made thetargets of this conduct (all men) uncomfortable, as follows:

First, Sarver once unnecessarily dropped his underwear and exposed his genitals to a male employee who was on his knees in front of Sarver performing afitness check that Sarver had requested and had undergone before. Past experience

would have taught Sarver that dropping his underwear was unnecessary for the

fitness check. The employee asked Sarver to pull his underwear back up, and Sarver the incident. Sarver has publicly apologized for this incident, as to which he saidthere was never any intent to expose the employee.

The investigation finds that Sarver engaged in the conduct described

above—not with an intent to make a sexual advance toward anyone, but with an intent to be provocative and/or attempt humor.

I read it. Or most of it. No doubt in my mind I’d be fired for even a very small subset of that behavior.

That's enough right there to at least get you punched in the nuts. Never mind get you kicked out the league.

 

Edit: From Reddit, so grain of salt and whatever:

The team services manager just deleted her Linkedin. And she used to be Brad’s personal assistant so it makes sense why he’d be coming down hard on Ime for this

It was consensual? Then who gives a shit? Fire him for code of conduct and move on. Dude will have another job tomorrow, and no Nia Long. It’s not like he stole millions from a welfare program for a volleyball stadium.

Oh well, nevertheless.

I understand how very little I have in common with dudes driven and gifted enough to reach the highest levels of professional sports as players or coaches, but got damn. Just keep it in your pants until you get home to your hot ass model actress girlfriend wife. That's literally all you have to do to maintain the opportunity to earn a hundred million dollars over your career. Why does that seem hard to do?

yep....Had a friend who played pro ball. He dated a cheerleader on the low. They said they would both been done if caught.

 

 

 

 

So he probably gets fired/resigns. 

Does this keep anyone else from hiring him? 

sports towns don't get more racist than Boston

One good thing about this is it made me look up Nia to see how she's holding up.  She still bad and I still love her

Not until he goes through a mandatory roughly 12-month self-reflection phase.

As the old saying goes, doesn't matter how hot the woman is, there's someone who is tired of her. They get bored with it. They don't view them as we do from the outside.

But I agree with you. Fucking up your income stream for pussy. But it's a tale as old as time.

He will eventually resign I would think.   He cant come back if it really was one of the VPs wives.    They cant let him come back there and work with the women, right?

Also if it really was a VPs wife, those guys talk.    Its gonna be a tough sell convincing a front office to hire him I would think.

He just made the Finals in his first season. No one is blackballing him. 

Whether specific FOs will want to hire him or not is a different discussion.

He took a roster that had previously failed to The Finals.  Somebody will take a chance.

He had some really good fortune.   It was a single yr.   Which makes this shit even wilder honestly.    He couldnt even get through a yr w/o fucking up......literally.      If he had multiple yrs of good performances maybe.

From the sound of it, they would have to worry about Ime fucking their wives.
