Ishbia taking control by 2029?

Well there's always this ownership risk

 

"Ballmer has also ruled the Clippers according to the one thing we know about him — that he is one of the richest men in the world. He was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, a fun-loving personality who cared about fielding a contender. Instead, Ballmer has steered them right back to where they started, as a joke.

The Clippers are under investigation by the league office for allegations of salary-cap circumvention. That seems like a big deal, and it is, as Ballmer allegedly funded a corporate sponsor, Aspiration, which then paid Kawhi Leonard roughly $50 million for a "no-show" job, according to noted finder-outer Pablo Torre.

Chris Paul left the organization in 2017, pushing for a trade to the Houston Rockets, and ever since Ballmer has collected every big-name player he could get his hands on, no matter the risk. In one fell swoop, he signed Leonard and traded for Paul George, sending out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and every available draft pick in the process. When a partnership of oft-injured stars yielded three playoff series victories in five years, Ballmer turned to James Harden, who has made the Clippers his latest vanity project. Not in a good way."

I would prefer an owner who breaks/bends rules to spend more money, than our current one who probably breaks/bends rules to spend less.

This is exactly what I feel when people talk about the Ishbia's bad spending in Phoenix.  GIve me failed effort over no effort all day, every day.

Also, let's not forget that the Ishbias bought the Suns in 2023 - less than 3 years ago.  It's not like they've had years and years of spending with poor results.

I couldn't agree more with this.
