| - 4 stars??? WTF? Ok, look, confession...I occasionally bet on sporting events and Phoenix is not really a sports-smart city. Or a smart city, for that matter. Sarver is easily the worst NBA owner. About the only thing he's done right in recent years was not resigning the immature, put-my-hand-through-an-extinguisher Amare Stoudemire. And I think that was simply pure luck because Amare was looking for a hundred million, and there was NO WAY Sarver would unroll his wallet that far.
I liked the team when they had Barkley and Dan Majerle, who put up a good fight against the Bulls in the 90's. But those days are long gone. Steve Nash should've been traded 2 years ago, the guy's 38 now! As if Phoenix needed any more old people.
Compare the management of this team to the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are a small-market team whom have had incredible success due to their management. And if you don't believe me, look at the no-name players the Spurs sign, like Patty Mills. The Suns, on the other hand, are going nowhere fast with Robert Sarver and Lon Babby. Luckily, they have tons of dumb fans willing to spend big cash to watch them barely miss the playoffs. Oh well, looks like the Western Conference Finals '12 will be one of the best in a while, featuring the Spurs against another up-and-coming organization - the OKC Thunder.
