Forbes recently released its rankings of NBA team values for 2015, and just like in the league standings this season, the Suns came out in the middle of the pack.  The Suns currently rank 16th on the list, with an estimated value of $910 million.  This means that owner Robert Sarver and his partners have seen a tidy half a billion dollar increase on their investment in the team over the past decade, as they only paid $404 million to acquire the franchise in 2004.

The Lakers are currently the top valued NBA franchise, worth $2.6 billion.
