Disclosure: Rose Law Group represents the Phoenix Suns

As the old saying goes, “It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know.” No one understands that better today than Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver.
Despite having a basketball team that has played miserably for years, Sarver was able to get the city of Phoenix to go in on a deal to give Talking Stick Resort Arena a $230 million facelift.
After the city council delayed the first vote on the multimillion-dollar deal in December, it appeared the Suns were in trouble. At least three councilmembers publicly vowed not to vote for it. With the council down a member, the deal could have died on a 4-4 tie.
