Love told several teams he will not resign if they trade for him such as Cavs, Nuggets and Suns - Woj on FoxSports.

Dude just broke my heart.

He's got his sights set on California because of his GF, we never had a shot.

Screw Love if he's that set on telling the Suns no thanks. He clearly has a pretty low basketball IQ if he can't see the upside to joining such an up and coming, talented young team with a great coach and GM. Let's go all out for LBJ. He and Bledsoe, from all accounts, have a great friendship. I'd personally rather have James over Love and it's not even close. Love can fill up a stat sheet but has never impressed me as much as he has others around here.

[Superbone]

Screw him then. He just became a Suns public enemy in my book if true.

[TOO]

Both our guards can play off the ball, perfect for James. Our all of our F's can reliably knock down a J, again perfect for James. We can bury it from 3 and run, perfect for James. Sigh it all fits so well, but it wont happen.

[Phoenix219]

I'd rather keep losing, and win on our own terms, even if it takes another decade, then have to thank Lebron for a title. No thanks.

actually, LBJ is an even bigger longshot for the suns. no big free agent really wants to play for the suns. even pau would rather play somewhere else.

We'd have a whole season to try to turn him, eh? It would be tough for him to walk away after winning a championship.

Way to go Kevin boy, killing the Wolves' leverage with your targeted teams!!!

Looks like you want to spend the year in 'Sota, or at least one last winter until the tradeline.

And do not worry about the Suns, we are the ONE CHANCE you are going to regret.

no, i dont think the suns will win a championship with him, or even challenge for a place in the finals. he's not a charles barkley game changer.

but it's fun to roll the dice, and make a few of the love fanatics here happy.

Notice Woj's "such as". He appears to be pulling a Miss Teen USA:

Meh. So Love doesn't consider PHX a destination for him. Hardly unexpected. Don't freak out. There will always be another disgruntled superstar to push us to contention. But first the Suns need to keep improving and climbing up in the ranks of the league, and the good news is that it can be done without a superstar.

We just need to focus on balance on the court and flexibility on the books. Balance even if your best players are 'only' B+, as long as there are enough of them, along with depth, to become a bonafide playoff team; flexibility to make the needed moves to trascent said status when the opportunity comes. Of course a little luck with injuries too.

We've gone from most hopeless franchise to more than respectable in just one offseason. That's how fast things can evolve in the NBA.

[Mori Chu]

Just look at the Spurs. If your stars are humble and love playing for you, that is a great foundation. We don't need to chase a guy if he doesn't want to be here.

[Wally_West]

We need to trade for Love at all cost. We don't want another Pau Gasol situation guys. Not trading for Gasol might haunt this franchise for years to come.

[ShelC]

Iguodala was talking up Frye on a radio broadcast today. Trying to recruit him if they don't get Love.

[Ring_Wanted]

Curry-Frye pick and pop would be something too, and with Gentry you know they are going to exploit it.
