If Suns can get Love without giving up Bled or Dragic, how does Lebron not seriously consider PHX?

Dragic
Bledsoe
Lebron
Love
Channing/Len (Assuming Channing takes less)

...Send Morri+Archie+Green+picks to Minny (hate losing Archie and Green, but don't see us getting Love w/o them)

Or sub out Green or Archie for Plumlee...I'd actually rather lose Plumlee than either of those guys

I make the call if LeBron is open for business.

I am not saying it happens - if he leaves he probably goes to the Clippers one would guess.

But I make the call
Also, with Frye out - that is 6.8m of cap if they give up his bird rights now.

But a team of Dragic, Bledsoe, Love and LeBron - pretty solid.

I doubt it happens but I am sure McD is making calls

Or maybe not Love, but other players that McD is thinking about - he is pretty stealthy.

[JJ13]

Definitely make the call...just don't take the meeting in Phoenix, tooooo f'ing hot right now

[SSOL]

duh

[ray ray]

McD will make the calls , I have no doubt about it. Do the Suns have a chance? No one knows at this point. So if you say that we do or we don't, that's going to be your assumption.

If the Suns think they can get Lebron, I think they would trade Dragic to the Wolves for Love. I would.
Bledsoe/Lebron/Love-Our big three. I think Love would sign an extension at that point. This is probably why there were calls from the Suns front office about PG's being available.

Offering Bledsoe a contract on the first day of free agency would help the Suns tremendously in the LeBron Safari 2014.

[Qwigglez]

BTW, once free agency begins is that when salaries for 2014-15 are effective? For trading purposes I mean.

No, it would cripple our chances of getting him unless Lebron wants to play for even less...

[JJ13]

Lebron's agent has the same name as this actor who happens to be born in Phoenix:

Bledsoe (or anyone else) can't sign a contract until the end of the moratorium.

July 1 - Bledsoe agrees to re-sign
July 2-9 - LeBron agrees to join the Suns
July 10 - Lebron and then Bledsoe sign their new contracts

[JJ13]

But seriously, Lebron & Bled have the same agent...now let the rumors begin

When's the wade and bosh opt out date? If those 2 opt out there's a good chance he stays and they all make some room to add other pieces. If they opt in all they could do is give Bron the 5 yr max and use the mle to try to improve. Imo if they opt in there a much better chance he leaves.

Sorry, tired. Some reason I read, sign Bledsoe immediately, tie up our salary! Then go for free agents, lol.

I don't think that Love is someone Lebron would like to play with unless there's a center aka Tyson Chandler type. The issue with the Heat was their interior defense. That's my opinion and I could be wrong.

[Qwigglez]

I think Wade opts in, he won't get that money again. He is worth significantly less than both Bosh and Lebron, but he's gonna want the same dollar amount as them. It's entirely not fair to Bosh and Lebron (especially) and I don't see him leaving that money. No clue what Bosh is doing. But if we miss out on Love sweepstakes, I'd welcome Bosh and Lebron to Phoenix.

[STEV13]

I hope Bledsoe works his BFF magic on Bron to at least consider PHX.

Plumlee and Len don't work? Neither has much offense, but I thought interior D and rebounding were a strong suit.

Lebron time baby!!!!!!!!
