Yep. He undoubtedly deserved the flack he got for "the decision" but I'm certainly not turning away the best player since MJ just because he made a dumb choice years ago. If for some crazy reason LeBron says he wants to sign in Phoenix I'd be over the moon.

I don't like the guy, I don't like his act', I don't want to cheer for him. If you like him, good for you, if you don't, but still are willing to cheer for him in exchange of a banner on the roof, I pity you.
Everytime I see someone willing to kiss any buttock necesary for a banner, I understand why we had Enron and such.

I don't let personal feelings dictate my fandom, and unless its something catastrophic like rape or murder, youre just being too petty for your own good. "Pity" me all you'd like, at least I root for my team to be the best it possibly can.

I do not think that it is completely unrealistic to recruit LeBron if Wade starts looking like he's breaking down over the remainder of the playoffs. Wouldn't you rather be the oldest player of a contending nucleus rather than the youngest, especially if you can play with Bledsoe?
I see The Decision as a foolish act, which LeBron has largely atoned for. It's not like he's Kobe Ass-Rapist Bryant. I could root for him as long as he talked about how stupid he was in his younger days.

He's already admitted he went about the decision the wrong way, thats over and done with IMO.

TOO: You keep talking about The Decision, but I don't think that is what is influencing Ring's dislike of James.
Speaking for myself, I've let the The Decision go, although, to be honest, while I thought it was in poor taste, I didn't hold it against him.
I feel the same as Ring, though. I don't care for LeBron James and I wouldn't enjoy having him on my team. I couldn't criticize the Suns for bringing him in, but I wouldn't like it.

If Lebron can bring championships to Phoenix, I think you will be able to find it in heart to like him
But I don't think there is a chance in hell Lebron would come to phoenix. The only thing that makes me think there is at least a possibility it could happen is because of how close of friends he and Bledsoe seemed to be.

I guess were ruling out Kobe in 2 years? Wait that was number 8 who raped that women not 24.

I don't like his excuse making, or him feeling he needed 2 superstars with him to win a title. At the end of the day, I wouldn't even say that I'm LeBron fan, but I cannot look past what he'd bring to the team. I thought MJ was a grade A prick, but I wouldn't have let that stop me from being stoked if he were a Sun.

Sorry if its already been said but its at least nice to go into the offseason with a sense of optimism. I was genuinely fearful of what Blanks next move would be when he was in charge. Can’t remember having this feeling since we cleaned house with the marbury trade to NY and gained a lot of flexibility in the process.

To LeBron or not to LeBron. The brain says of course, but the heart will always feel like any title would be basically thanks to the King's grace, who gifted this franchise with his presence. I guess a banner is a banner, but still.

Absolutely. Optimism is nice, when you can afford it.
