If trading Stoudemire is a financial move Sarver should step aside

Most reports surrounding the possibility of trading Amare Stoudemire focus on his play and locker room presence as the onus for a deal. What if it has less to do with those reasons and more to do with something else? What if the buzz surrounding the deal is just that, buzz created to mask a less palatable explanation?

 

What if the Suns are thinking of dealing Amare to alleviate financial problems?...

Purchasing my Dragic jersey

No problem.

I just miss when winning a ring was paramount and making money was secondary. Losing is ok if winning is the goal. Instead money is the number one thing right now. It’s a sad day that this great organization is dealing with this right now instead of figuring out how to win a championship. We can’t go back in time and change the Sarver Era but hopefully this team can recover in the near future with a new owner.

100% disagree here

Sarver and crew threw there fiscal principles under the bus and figuratively bet the farm on a team that is not even in the POs right now, much less in contention.

Doesn’t make much sense to be paying luxury taxes on a lottery team at this point.

+1

It’s pretty ridiculous to say Sarver should be throwing money at a team that’s at best a 2nd round playoff team.

I wouldn’t pay double the regular ticket price to watch the Suns fizzle out against the Dubs, why should Sarver pay millions in luxury tax for that same reason?
