There's something fishy going on here...

Ya I think LeBron wants to play with him eventually…maybe not year 1, but he can’t be letting some random team draft him. He wants LA to draft him, but we are apparently the other team he’s ok with drafting him. Or more likely, we are just doing agent favors.

The latter, I suspect. We’re just making noise about Bronny at 22 to try to pressure the Lakers into taking him at 17.

Imagine if they draft Bronny on a pinky-swear promise from LeBron to sign for a discount in the 25-26 season.

It might be possible there's a 2 yr plan with Bronny and LBJ. We draft him with a later pick, Bron plays out his contract with LA for $50mil and then takes a 2yr minimum here to play with his son.

As long as it's a 2nd round pick they somehow acquire.

I'd still expect them to come away with someone else young and can actually play next season.

If it’s a wait a year thing, no thanks. Time is not on our side; if they do this, it has to be this summer.

If the Suns end up with Lebron James I'll change my avatar to a poop emoji for a month.

I agree if it’s at 22, but if we trade 22 for 27/38 and take Bronny at 38, I won’t even be that upset if LeBron never comes. But if we take him at 22 to wait a year for LeBron, that’s dumb.

I’m trying to will it into existence…. Given our limited situation, he’s our best option….. the poop emoji would be icing (poop flavored) :lol:

Sounds about right. Suns get an aging superstar just as he starts falling off.

I'd be fine with Kolek; it's better than trading the pick. I think he is solid and could be very good, I am just not convinced he will be the best available.

I think you're right, but how you sell it is that we don't know how many yrs and opportunities we have left. This "could" be the last year he has that chance & the last yr to win another title. A career ending incident could happen at any time.

Rich Paul said Lebron is not signing with the suns for the minimum.

Of course Lebron isn’t signing for the minimum. Well not this year at least…👀

So, there is no possibility of LeBron coming to the Suns, because right now, that's the only path.

Lebron isn’t turning down a 50 million dollar bag this year.

But next year tho? 🤔

I don't blame him, but he's not immortal.
