Bryan Colangelo, Suns? President and General Manager, has resigned his position with the team.
?Bryan has decided that his preference is to leave the Suns, and under those circumstances, we saw no other option other than to accept his decision, ? said Suns Managing Partner Robert Sarver in making the announcement.
?At the time we bought the team, we agreed to a new three-year contract with Bryan,? continued Sarver. ?Dating back to last summer, I assured Bryan of my intention to extend his contract. I?m disappointed with Bryan?s decision but I wish him well.?
?I couldn?t be more excited about the future of our team,? Sarver said. ?With Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Amar? Stoudemire and Mike D?Antoni, our team continues to be headed in the direction of the goal we all share, creating sustainable success for the Phoenix Suns and winning an NBA Championship.?
?We will proceed methodically in deciding Bryan?s replacement but in the meantime we have a tremendous basketball staff in place and they will take on additional responsibilities in the interim.?
