Positioning for Lebron next year?

Seems unlikely, and I really hope we don't waste any time trying to get James. He is a flopper and crybaby extraordinaire. Yeah plenty of NBA players are that way, but its so pathetic for a guy who has possibly the best natural physical talent and attributes ever.

My "obviously" was about not turning LeBron James down if he came a-callin'

Let me chime in. I am the eternal optimist, but as far as LeBron coming here :lol:

Miami or Cleveland!

1. A larger deal
2. A smaller deal (to attract another key free agent)
3. The heat to sign another major free agent (and then Lebron re-signs so the Heat can go over the cap)

Lebron and Wade aren't going anywhere. They are healthy, they are wining, they live in an awesome city with awesome weather, and they have silenced their critics.

That's not the way it works. The Heat would have to relinquish their Bird Rights on LeBron in order to free up the cap hold that his opt out would create meaning they would no longer be able to offer him a contract that would put them over the cap.

Since LeBron is out of the question I say bring Amare back! That way he can retire a Sun and get into the ring of fire before Nash and Marion.

lol Ring of Fire....

I can't tell if he's serious or joking

LBJ is not going to come to a small market team like Phoenix.
I think he'd join New York or Brooklyn, maybe LA if he leaves Miami.

Ring of Fire! (turn on the ring of fire)

It would certainly take "tankhood" into a brand new meaning.

Bledsoe already rocking the D-backs throwback jersey, nice. LeBron's shirt though is just terrible, what the heck is that atrocity.

Pretty cool to see him hanging out with LeBron. Who knows maybe if we get Wiggins, Bledsoe/Goodwin/Len turn into all-stars....ahhhh who am I kidding, LeBron isn't leaving Miami if they keep winning.

Btw, LeBron is flashing 3 fingers which obviously means Half-Life 3 is confirmed, you can now proceed to flame me for the poor meme reference, :lol:

How is Phoenix a small market team again?

5th largest city (when next census comes out), and we got all 4 major sports here.

Small?

LOL. Bron is staying in Miami. Returning to Cleveland is a long shot. LA or NY are the only other possible destinations.

Yeah I didn't realise he and Lebron have the same agent, and they're best friends apparently.

Stranger things have happened - would he accept the challenge of bringing a title to the most successful title-less city in pro sports? We'd have the money, the weather, his pal Bledsoe, the medical staff and hopefully a stud rookie next year...

Lebron, Bledsoe, Goodwin, Len, Melo. 2014 Suns

I just had visions of Marshall dishing to Melo for the basket and Leander's corny VoiceOver "the suns with another Marsh-Melo!!"

Yeah... Let's make sure that never happens.
