    First of all, he's the only "reporter" who gets anything right. Secondly, if you took the time to actually read the story, he's doesn't say that they are going to sign there he just says that Phoenix "knows it's a long shot" but is going to present the offer to LeBron to team him with Carmelo or Bosh this year or Kevin Love or whoever he wants next year. They also have three first round picks in 2015 which they can use in trade to get back other players. But you knew all that because you read the story.

    Dat medical staff and being a young upcoming team are selling points. But doubt Melo and/or Lebron have considered this.

    If that happened, you might as well close down the Eastern conference and call the West the NBA.

    He only gets some stuff right depending on how far the deals have come. I'm pretty sure Woj has a source inside the nba offices who tips him off whenever a deal is about to go down and the teams/agents have warned the NBA about it going down. That is why he could name the draft selections before Adam Silver did during the draft.

    Often the agent contacts a contact within the media, it seems Woj gets most of the inside information. He deserves credit on of the only reporters in the NBA who does any due diligence.

    Would be badass to have LeBron in a suns jersey. Never going to happen, he's a big market type of guy.

    Though tbh, we could make a MUCH better team in phx with Lebron than Miami. Miami only won like 10 more games than Suns, and they are in the East yet we were 9th seed while miami was 2nd seed. LOL. If Bledsoe hadn't had the mid season injury, we definitely would have made playoffs.

    Why are people saying Woj is bullshitting us? He just said that the Suns are "pursuing", not acquiring. Any team can choose to pursue. Hell, I bet every team wants to pursue the best players if they have the cap space. And the Suns do.

    I think it's cute that the Suns think they even have a shot though, lol.

    Why wouldn't they have a shot? Best medical staff in the league, Stacked with young talents and assets, personal relationship with his agent, most cap space in the league. 6th biggest city in the country with great weather and basketball history. Hornacek and McD at the helms of the franchise.

    They present a very strong offer to any superstar looking to win for a very long time. However, this years group of free agents are in it for the money and the fame so the suns have to chalk it up as a long shot.

    But make no mistake the suns have the assets and flexibility to put a team around Lebron that no other team can.

    He never said it would happen or that it's likely.

    He said that the Suns will attempt to pursue them....and that's probably as far as it's going to get lol

    how so.. he's not saying it's a done deal, he's not reporting Lebron and Melo are considering it, he's saying the Suns have the cap space and are going to make a run at them unless you have some link where the Suns deny they're not going to even try and get Melo and Lebron to Phoenix...
