Please stop the insanity. Lebron is not signing with Phoenix. Better chance we trade for Kyrie and then sign Cousins.

I can actually see Lebron happening. I saw it when it was not popular. It probably won't, so be it.

I certainly do not want Demarcus Cousins on this team with or without Lebron.

I would much rather see LeBron and one of the top 5 draft picks next summer.

Do you really want Lebron destroying this franchise? That doesn't even factor in the stacked Western Conference. It doesn't really make sense when we won't beat the Warriors.

I think Demarcus Cousins would destroy this franchise, not Lebron James.

I have no idea how you can think that Lebron James would destroy this franchise. He is the perfect fit for what we need. Especially if he comes in as an unrestricted free agent.

If it would cost us a slew of players and draft picks, then I can see you point.

Signing Lebron would mean we are aiming for a title. Not happening against the Warriors. Therefore trading players and/or signing him makes little sense. I would imagine he signs with the Lakers/Spurs/Rockets (if Melo gets traded).

Destroy this franchise? Are you joking? Please explain your hyperbole.

Off topic...but does anyone think the SSOl Suns deserve a 30 for 30 or nbatv documentary? Yea they never won a chip but they kind of ushered in this new age of small ball and increased significance of the three ball.

Not hyperbole. Lebron wants to run the team. If he doesn't get his way then there are consequences.

Yes, would be very enjoyable to watch/listen to some of the players.

Won't happen. Just more baseless ridiculous hyperbole. Yeah, he's destroyed countless teams going to 8 Finals and 7 straight. Just stop. Stop being a Suns fan. That kind of attitude makes me sick and exactly the kind of loser attitude that keeps the Suns losers for the past 7 years. Frankly, it's embarrassing as a Suns fan.

Cousins is Barkley as 1992 is 2018, extreme talent, controversial needing a better situation and structure. Get Cuz in a happier positive environment (Philly and Sacto have similarities too) we could have a fun run. At this moment with the situation as is, I put my damn money on Bled, Book, Jackson, Chriss, Cuz in 2018.

I know it's offseason but must we argue about something that has 0,00% chance of happening?

there is NOTHING to destroy...

The Suns have been bottom 3 team for a while... 50 years without a championship... there is nothing to destroy... Suns need to BUILD.

Lebron or Demarcus Cousins will NOT turn the young Suns players into hacks... if anything having stars next to the youth will help.

And Barkely had great things to say about Coleman.


Cousins actually competitive.. Coleman wasnt... he wasnt motivated to play. Cousins is closer to Barkley in regards to hunger to win or beat their opponents.

I think that would be awesome. For some reason I doubt national sports media aka espn would credit the Suns for anything good.

I know it's very old and I'm sure everyone here has read it, but I would recommend the book "Seven Seconds or Less" by Jack McCallum. Very entertaining in my opinion and has some cool behind the scenes stuff from the players.

+1 on the 30 for 30.

I actually bought that book years ago but still haven't read it.
