If you build it, they will come. That is, essentially, the philosophy Phoenix Suns’ owner Mat Ishbia has had since purchasing the team one year ago. “Money follows success every single time,” Ishbia recently stated on the Pat McAfee Show.
Ishbia has made numerous changes since arriving in Phoenix. He empowered his GM to make trades that would positively impact the organization, not worrying about cost. He invested in a state-of-the-art workout facility specifically for his WNBA franchise, the Phoenix Mercury, which is more than 65,000 square feet. He is bringing a G League affiliate back to the Suns’ organization, something previous ownership parted ways with back in 2020.
