For decades the Phoenix Suns were a beacon of stability and success. They did things the right way. They hired the right people. The made the right trades. They sought after and acquired the right free agents.
But now, especially over the last nine years, Robert Sarver has done things in a way that is completely contrary to the franchise’s history, running the organization in a manner that is often cockeyed, ultimately leading to a tremendous lack of success.
And us fans? We can’t do anything about it.
Which is why when it was announced on Thursday April, 11 that James Jones (who truly did nothing to ingratiate himself with fans last season) had officially been hired as the full-time General Manager and that new Vice President of Basketball Operations Jeff Bower will report to Jones directly, many fans were forced to simply shrug and hope for the best.
