Just as Steve Ballmer took over the Clippers after the Donald Sterling scandal, there is now a big guy who may take over the Suns from the equally scandal-ridden Robert Savoor. According to Matthew Belloni, a Hollywood Reporter and one of the co-founders of Puck News, bob Iger, now Disney executive chairman, is expected to quote the Sun in the coming months.
Igor was born in New York on February 10, 1951, at the age of 70. It is reported that at the end of this year, Igor will leave Disney, and before that he will announce a decision. He has many options, and one of the most likely is to become the owner of an NBA team.
It is reported that Igor has told several friends around him that if the Sun can be publicly sold, he will participate in the auction, and this is likely to happen in the next few months. So far, Igor and the Suns have not held any formal negotiations, and Disney has declined to comment on this.
Not long ago, Suns boss Savour was put on the cusp of being accused of serious racial and sexism, as well as a strong style in the team, making the working environment at the top of the Suns quite bad. The Coalition has launched an investigation into this regard. Considering that Clippers owner Sterling was forced to sell the team to Ballmer for suspected racial discrimination, if it is verified this time, Savour is likely to be ordered to sell the Suns.
One of the more favorable points for Igor is that he and NBA president Xiao Hua and Sun star Paul are close friends. If the Sun could be sold, they would probably both help Igor.
Fortunately, the investigation of the Sun boss did not affect the Suns' record. At present, the Suns have won 16 consecutive games and are in second place in the West Zone with 17 wins and 3 losses. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
