“The Phoenix Suns don’t care about the organization, Golden State do”: Kelly Oubre denounces Robert Sarver

Kelly Oubre goes off on Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver, saying Sarver does not care about the Suns organization.

The Golden State Warriors suffered a major setback to their 2020-21 NA season plans this past week. With Klay Thompson tearing his Achilles tendon, the Warriors’ chances of reaching the top of the Western Conference are got slim.

The Warriors however, are trying to capitalize on the fact that Steph Curry is still in his early 30s and want to push for another NBA Finals berth.

So following the Thompson injury, the Warriors went after 25 year old swingman Kelly Oubre, and acquired him from the OKC Thunder. Oubre was part of the deal that sent Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns, in exchange for Kelly Oubre and more.

Upon officially signing with the Warriors, Kelly Oubre had a few choice words for his former franchise, the Suns.

Kelly Oubre reveals his true feelings towards the Robert Sarver and the Suns organizations.

On Monday, Oubre was asked what it felt like to be a part of the Golden State Warriors. He said, “I can play for an owner who cares about the organization, and not just the perception of the organization on the media end of it.”
