Was thinking about the Suns, the Coyotes, Sarver, Bettman, and Silver.

I just keep thinking that for all the potential talks and potential discussions, etc. of having a shared facility and sharing revenues and maybe even getting a gov't or two to "donate" money to build a new arena somewhere..... IMO it all boils down to one question...

From Sarver.. " What's in it for me? "

And I just don't see any scenario where he signs up for this arrangement, because that's the question... what benefit is there for the Suns? Getting a hearty thank-you from Bettman and a pat on the back for being a good corporate citizen probably isn't going to be enough.

What's your excuse?

I mean, let's get right to the point. Adam Silver would be the one offering anything of value. What could Silver offer that would be worth it to Sarver?

The only things I can think of are too tinfoily to bring up in a joking way for even this board. And that's a HIIIIIGH bar to get over.
