Sarver then explained that he did not want to become a distraction for his two franchises once his suspension was over:
"As a man of faith, I believe in atonement and the path to forgiveness. I expected that the commissioner's one-year suspension would provide the time for me to focus, make amends and remove my personal controversy from the teams that I and so many fans love," Sarver said.

"But in our current unforgiving climate, it has become painfully clear that that is no longer possible – that whatever good I have done, or could still do, is outweighed by things I have said in the past. For those reasons, I am beginning the process of seeking buyers for the Suns and Mercury."

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar suggested that the youngster should repair the damage he's caused by doing volunteer work with the LGBTQ+ community. Whether or not Edwards carries out additional actions to prove that his apology was genuine remains to be seen.

Crowder started in 21 playoff games for the Heat and helped them reach the 2020 NBA Finals, where they lost 4-2 to LeBron James and the LA Lakers. Given the Heat’s lack of forward depth, a reunion between Crowder and Miami makes sense for both sides at least on paper.

It is worth noting that Oklahoma has already lost recent second overall pick Chet Holmgren to a season-ending foot injury. Thankfully for the team, Gilgeous-Alexander’s knee injury doesn't seem to be too serious.

What that group was missing was camaraderie. They gotta be together to get it." Camraderie and health certainly impacted the Brooklyn Nets' 2021-22 season.

Their star duo of Irving and Kevin Durant totaled just 84 games last season. Ben Simmons, who arrived from the Philadelphia 76ers with James Harden going the other way, is yet to make his debut for Brooklyn. If the Nets, who now boast a better roster on paper, want to make a deep playoff run in 2023, they’re going to need their "Big Three" to gel well together.
