I think the reaction this whole offseason has recieved has been absurd. Sarver in my eyes is an owner that loves sports and has all the enthusiasm in the world. That said, he doesnt have the brain of a GM, he has that of a fan and this has given him an unfairly bad wrap. Sure, hes made some bad decisions, but hes made some good ones too. Its a learning curve. People will always remember the day Nash left - its the end of an era. But fans will move on once the season starts, and if the team is competitive, they will be right back on the bandwagon.
If Nash was so concerned about being close to his kids why does he live in NYC in the summer? Why didn't he inquire with any other West Coast Teams (Jazz, Nuggets, Clips, Warriors, Kings, Blazers, shoot-lets throw Texas and OKC in there)? To throw the "need to be close to my kids" excuse out there is as lame as it gets. No the truth is he wanted to play for a ring with the Lakers, he doesn't care that the Lakers are the Suns biggest rival, thus he doesn't really care about the Suns fans. Sports is a business. But don't buy the phoney excuse Nash brings up about his kids.
i dont claim to know anything about his personal life, and have no reason to want to, but it stands to reason that if nash is on "summer break" in new york, and his children could stay with him in new york for periods of time. i would think his concern is during the season when he is traveling non stop it would be hard to get out to phx to see them if he was playing in ny
I can't believe this is happening. It's not easy to digest but after hearing about how he wants to be closer to his family and play for championship contender at the same time I can't say I blame him. I have many thoughts going on in my head but at this point there is nothing to do but keep moving forward. I hope we get Gordon. He would be a great pick up. If those draft picks are used in a sign and trade then this will be an easier pill to swallow. Go Suns and best of luck Steve. Thanks for the memories.
