According to Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports, the Phoenix Suns are getting gung-ho about their free agent plans and it sounds like they’re going to make a run at signing LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony this summer.
"Armed with an offer that no else in the NBA can make – a chance to partner with Carmelo Anthony on an instant championship contender – the Phoenix Suns are planning an aggressive pursuit of LeBron James on Tuesday, league sources told Yahoo Sports."
This is a plan we heard rumored a while back but it’s starting to sound like that wasn’t just ramblings by people dreaming about it happening. The Suns went from a sure-fire lottery team this year to a team that came within two games of making the postseason.
It’s still a bit of a long shot but the Suns have a decent chance of making a real run at the LeBron/Melo combo and that’s going to be something that makes basketball in Arizona thrilling once again.
