Suns fan starts GoFundMe campaign to oust owner Sarver
Phoenix Suns supporters are pushing for change.
Frustrated with the chaotic state of the franchise, a longtime Suns fan named Alex Smith says owner Robert Sarver "isn't qualified to run an NBA team."
Smith started a GoFundMe campaign Monday to raise money for a digital billboard that says "#SarverOut" in hopes it'll inspire the businessman to sell the team. The campaign reached its goal of $1,650 in less than a day.
The call for change at the top of the organization comes amid an ongoing shakeup throughout it. Following an 0-3 start, Phoenix fired head coach Earl Watson and several members of his staff Sunday and named Jay Triano his interim replacement.

The same afternoon, starting point guard Eric Bledsoe tweeted: "I (don't) wanna be here." He met with the team Monday and isn't expected to suit up for the Suns again as the team actively tries to move him.
