He's made some serious errors, but he's an owner who cares about winning and is happy to make a significant investment. Though I'd prefer him as an owner in a league without a salary cap, I feel much better about him than I ever did about Sarver.

In terms of everything aside from on the court team success, Ishbia is one of the best owners in the league

Uno what fairs. He seems a passionate owner who just got too over his head with the recruitment policy. He'll eventually figure it out

He isn’t wrong.

But you raised the prices of season tickets 17% Ishbia. Let’s be real here

Lots of room between him and the bottom. Ted Stepien is there. Les Harrison allegedly passing on Bill Russell in return for some Ice Capades shows has to be near there. George Shinn failing so bad in hoops hotbed of NC that they moved to NO is there. MJ was a mediocre owner. Heck, Ishbia is not even the worst in Suns history. Sarver has that title.

Former Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said current owner Mat Ishbia is going through a learning curve right now. "I think maybe when he first bought the team he wanted to make a little splash, which was kind of customary when people take over an organization. In retrospect, he maybe would have done the same thing, maybe not. Again, he has to learn, sometimes the hard way. "I believe in him in terms of the long-term future of the franchise because he's committed."

"Mat Ishbia is absolutely right. I do owe him an apology, because I mentioned Donald Sterling. I thought I was making it clear I was talking about basketball. I certainly did not mean to compare him to a person that...has been widely recognized as a racist." - Stephen A. Smith

Stephen A. Smith on the Department of Defense temporarily removing an article about Jackie Robinson's Army history: "Nobody is calling out the President, Donald Trump. I will. I'm not gonna call him names and all this stuff like stupid folks on the left are doing. Engaging in incendiary rhetoric. It's unnecessary, it's immature and it's uncalled for. He's the President of the United States. Treat him with the respect that he deserves. But in the same breath, call him to the carpet for stuff that he's doing."
