<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Poor Bryan Colangelo. Just when he found his stride, his dad sold the team. Just when he found respect, he went to work for Robert Sarver. And at the peak of his professional career - a year in which he repaired a wounded team on the fly, saving the owner's backside from certain ridicule - Colangelo is off meeting with the Raptors about becoming their next general manager. The timing is ludicrous. The outcome is inevitable. Tough break, kid. Good luck with the conversion rate. If he hasn't already, Colangelo must accept this job in Toronto, even if it seems below the reigning NBA Executive of the Year. In fact, Colangelo is odds-on favorite to win the award again. That would be a remarkable accomplishment and one that should mean a little more to Sarver. But if Sarver really wanted Bryan Colangelo, he wouldn't have granted permission for Colangelo to speak with the Raptors in the first place, to ultimately return with a lucrative offer Sarver can't possibly match. You know, just like he couldn't afford Joe Johnson.</div> Source We can put value on any of the Suns big 3 (Nash, Marion, Stoudemire), but what value should B. Colangelo have after putting two winning teams together? How will your view of Sarver change if he lets B. Colangelo go without a fight?

At the same time, Sarver will think himself only being business-savvy if he lets such a highly valued exec leave. Sarver doesn't need Colangelo back, but he would be doing himself a big favor come next season by doing so. At the same time, his payroll is getting pretty well overextended anyway, so either way, you're winning and losing.
