? Durability or marginal cost are concerns for sure, but I hink it is pretty safe to say that both are upgrades over Tucker.

You are not to make eye contact with The King when addressing him. In fact, he will not attend any meetings at all. Any and all communication will be done through his agent as you are not worthy to be in his presence.

Part of me believes he actually has an attitude similar to this. I know MJ was a total prick, but at least to me, he didn't seem like one. LeBron on the other hand.. I'm pretty sure his bidet has a bidet.

I don't really see any big time moves coming for us with this FA class. Our biggest need is at PF but no FA other than perhaps Monroe addresses it. I could see us just resigning our own FAs and be done with it. Maybe McDonough will surprise us but I think the only surprises might come from trades rather than FA acquisitions.

Weird, they have a pretty formidable 4/5 combo already.

You'd think James would have learned his lesson from last time about how not to be an asshole and treat people with respect. Guess not. I wish someone would call back and say, "LeBron doesn't want to hear our pitch in person? OK, best of luck."

Won't happen tho. Management and owners will grovel because he knows they will. Even Riley's been put on notice and been told to go out and sign guys that will help the team before the big 3 re-sign. If that's not the definition of arrogance I don't know what is.

Leave the SOB in his vacuum-sealed bubble - there's plenty who live in the real world that'd dig playing here as opposed to having people jerk-off their ego.

I'm for standing pat & taking care of our own.....

Maybe - how's about an upgrade over what T.J. Warren will be, though?

Regardless - though they're not made of Marcus Camby-glass, both Deng and Ariza are shaky at best on the long-term health front.....

I doubt this is true (and certainly not at $8M per), like I said, prepare for a lot of "Suns are interested" rumors.
The Pistons, Heat, Lakers, Mavs and Suns have all expressed interest, with the Pistons showing the most interest to date and numbers starting in the three-year, $24 million range. Talks with teams in playoff contention have started in the $6-7 million per-year range.
Go Suns!

Would love to bring in Chandler BANG! He'd be a perfect fit in are system, but like every player mentioned for us don't want to overpay. I'm hoping Houston gets tied up with the idea of adding Lebron and/or Melo allowing Parsons to slip through
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Right. Plus Thomas' situation reminds me of Aaron Brooks redux. Love watching the lil' dude play.

Lebron is free to do whatever he likes as far as meeting or not meeting with teams. But if he isn't even willing to meet us in person, I don't think we should bother wasting our time meeting with his agent. It's obvious he isn't looking to switch teams if he isn't even meeting teams himself, so why waste our time and lower ourselves to him like that?

@SpearsNBAYahoo: Knicks free agent Carmelo Anthony's list of teams to visit still includes CHI ,HOU, DAL, LAL, NY with no additions at this time, source says.

Suns not even on the list of teams he'd consider meeting with. Bummer.
