Sale of Suns Goes ThroughThe $401 million sale of the Phoenix Suns to San Diego banking executive Robert Sarver was completed Wednesday. NBA owners unanimously approved the transaction. Sarver owns about one-third of the franchise, with the remainder split among a group of investors including former NBA player Steve Kerr and Suns' president Bryan Colangelo. In 1987, Jerry Colangelo put together an investment group that bought the franchise for $44.5 million. He will remain as Suns' chairman and chief executive.

This move comes as no surprise, as signing Wallace would leave the Pistons with virtually the same team that dominated the Lakers in the 2004 championship series, sans Okur. Okur has expressed repeatedly that he would like to remain a Piston, however if Wallace stays, Okur would likely sign for a team that has extra cap room and would give him more playing time.

With Mavericks owner Mark Cuban standing as firm as he can on not relinquishing Dirk Nowitzki, the Lakers are speaking to other clubs with even greater urgency. Reports indicate that the Clippers, Pacers and even the Kings are in the running. If O'Neal is not traded before July 1st, the Lakers situation with Kobe Bryant becomes that much trickier. It is clear that it will take a small miracle for these two superstars to ever play together again and if O'Neal is still on the Laker roster, Kobe will likely test the open market with even greater tenacity. The San Antonio Spurs are readying their summer courtship of a superstar, much in the same way they did last year for Jason Kidd. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker will actively recruit Bryant to come to Texas, which is the place most suited for Kobe to win championships. His goal this summer though, besides his Colorado trial, is to begin building a championship team up from scratch, a la his imitated idol Michael Jordan, with the Suns being the leading contenders in that category.
