“The Surprising Spending Spree of the Cheapest Team in US Sport: A Strange Turn of Events” – Fox Sports
After years of being known as the cheapest team in US sports, the Phoenix Suns have finally decided to break the mold and start spending money. And what’s even more surprising is the timing of their spending spree – right in the middle of a global pandemic.
The Suns, who have long been criticized for their penny-pinching ways, have shocked fans and analysts alike with their recent signings and trades. From acquiring All-Star point guard Chris Paul to signing Jae Crowder and Langston Galloway, the Suns have made it clear that they are serious about competing for a championship.
But why now, of all times? With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on the sports world and causing financial uncertainty for many teams, the Suns’ sudden splurge seems risky at best. However, team owner Robert Sarver is confident that the investment will pay off in the long run.
“We believe that now is the time to make a push for a championship,” Sarver said in a statement. “We have a talented young core in Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton, and we believe that adding experienced players like Chris Paul will help take us to the next level.”
The Suns’ bold moves have not gone unnoticed, with many fans and analysts praising the team for their willingness to spend money in order to improve. And with the Western Conference becoming increasingly competitive, the Suns’ aggressive approach could be just what they need to make a deep playoff run.
Only time will tell if the Suns’ gamble will pay off, but one thing is for certain – they are no longer the cheapest team in US sports. And for fans of the team, that is certainly something to celebrate.
