Nash and Sarver Inteviews on ESPN.com

How do you start to erase the ugly stain of the Tim Donaghy ordeal if you're running a sports news site? How about by devoting your headlines to the Suns' team leader and their owner. Steve Nash has replaced David Stern's mug on the ESPN NBA page in an interview with Marc Stein. In it, Nash talks about how he's recovering from what happened in the playoffs, what he thinks Grant Hill adds to the team, Kevin Garnett, Amare, his own career and more. ESPN also has a Stein interview with Robert Sarver, as well as a video of Nash talking with LZ Granderson. Perhaps they're hoping the Suns can shine through the dark cloud of scandal that's been hanging over the league the past week.

Coach Sarver
Does anyone see anything wrong with this quote from Sarver?  My question is, where was the D'Antone input to this?  Is Sarver or Kerr the new coach?
On surrendering two future first-round picks as part of Phoenix's payroll-slashing trade of Kurt Thomas to Seattle:

"It's hard. I went back and forth with [new Suns general manager Steve Kerr] a lot on that one.

"It's difficult, but the key for us is that we're right there, so the most important thing we can do is keep our core together for the next three years. And so we have to make some sacrifices [such as trading Thomas to save $8 million in luxury taxes]. Keeping our core together was [priority] No. 1, keeping the [2008 unprotected first-round] pick from Atlanta was No. 2 and the other picks ... trading them was something we had to do."

Well, Kerr is the GM...
There's no saying that D'Antoni didn't have input, but when it comes down to it it would be a decision between the owner and the GM. If anything I think this quote actually shows that Sarver is thinking about these things, and that it's not a bald matter of saving money at any cost (even though he is concerned with saving money.)

Sarver Blew it
On the criticism he's getting for the Suns selling three first-round picks in the past two drafts before giving up two firsts in the Thomas trade

"I'll be [called] the cheap baker all the time, but it's not true. Based on the NBA statistics that were done by [the league's] consulting firm, we're the 24th-best market in the NBA from a revenue standpoint It's hard for us to have the second-highest payroll, but we can have the ninth- or eighth- or seventh-highest payroll because our fans really support us

This guy is a goddamn BANKER:  of ALL PEOPLE, HE should know IT TAKES MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.

If the Suns win the Title, it WON'T MATTER ANY LONGER:  THAT FIGURE OF "24TH BEST" IS RELATIVE TO THE SITUATION, and as y'all know...everybody likes a winner ;)

I know no longer believe he has the team's best interest in heart, while, sadly, it'd be far more financially fiscal for him if he did.
