Saruman's ego was becoming Sauron and conceived himself to become even more powerful than Sauron. I think he would have done anything to emulate, or try to achieve Sauron's power, since his ego takes over for rational judgement.
If that was the case, I think it much more likely he would have tried to transfer his power into the ring, in imitation of Sauron, rather than into his staff.
