2014 Official FA Thread 3: The Hunt For LeBron Continues...

[Barkley6]

I can get the same amount of information BSing with all of you as I can reading any sports column. As matter of fact I get better, more up to date, and realistic information from all of you than I can from that silly espn insider garbage.

Agree with you there, and in this forum we don't simply pat each other on the back or say outlandish things to get ratings. We actually have real discussion and are able to look at the various aspects of any news, update or idea without having some producer or editor telling us we've gone over our time/space.

Good job, board!

Suck it, media!

I feel like we would have heard something by now if LeBron was actually considering leaving. Since talking to his agent, there's been absolutely zero update on LeBron leaving Miami to come to PHX or any other city for that matter.

Imo its done, he's staying in Miami. I know it hurts to burst our bubbles but truth hurts.

i completely disagree, if he was staying, he'd make it known so that they could attract free agents with the value added of playing with LeBron. It does him nor the Heat any good to keep it under wraps if he does actually plan on staying. I honestly believe he's undecided.

Bosh wade Haslem did not opt out for lebron to leave.
They all talked before opting out. It's all media hype at this point.

Which actually espn, fox sports aren't even talking about lebron this week it's all been about melo

I'm sure Riley's pitch to recruit FAs is still "You can play with LeBron if you come to Miami" no matter if LeBron makes it known to the media about whether or not he's staying.

My guess is that LeBron is staying because if he left, that would totally hose Wade and Bosh - and I just don't see that. Maybe this is for drama

And the fact that the Heat are now looking at a guy like Morrow makes more economic sense in terms of Bosh and Wade taking pay cuts. That whole business about 11 or 12m - that never made sense to me. Bosh maybe at 15m with escalators so that over 4 years he would make around 65m - I could see that.

So I think the Big three will be back with lesser known players

But hope springs eternal and until the deal is done.. there is a chance

According to the latest report they all met, but LeBron did not encourage them to opt out or take less money and that they are not working in concert. Bosh and Wade opted out to make sure they (and the Heat) had maximum flexibility if LeBron left.

Classic overreaction

So the Suns have shown interest in Spencer Hawes, Gordon Hayward, Chandler Parsons, and Pau Gasol, while we already have Dragic, Len, and Plumlee on the roster. . That seems like an unusually high number of white players, which strikes me as kind of odd. I don't know maybe it is coincidence or I'm just reading too into things too much.

[SunsFanSSOL]

Just read Amin Elhassans chat on ESPN. Amin used to work for the Suns.

Basically - Suns have zero chance of getting LeBron. The Heat guys will all be back in Miami and the Suns will make a smaller move for a good forward.

Amin does think the Suns have a good offer for Love with young players and draft picks.


My take - I think if Houston includes Parson and Jones or GSW includes Klay, those teams have better offers

Funny!

I read Amin's chats weekly and cannot get a read on how he feels about Suns and Sarver. I don't think too impressed. He did say something about when the last big time free agent signed with Phoenix and Colanglo is not walking through the door

He seems overly critical of the Suns.

This seems kind of odd to me, like the Suns want to be the Timberwolves from a couple years back. I hate to bring up race, but this kind of stuck me as strange. Maybe its just me.

I don't understand. Gasol is Spanish, Dragic is Slovenian, Len is Ukrainian. What does it have to do with race?

[SSOL]

Is it strange that they are the best free agents available or.....? Mind you our about to be highest paid player (Bledsoe) is African American. Oh, and two of our three picks this past draft were African American. Plumlee came here with Gerald Green. I'm not sure where you are going.
