Could The Phoenix Suns Really Sign LeBron James This Summer?

Could The Phoenix Suns Really Sign LeBron James This Summer?

I think it would be a disservice for teams not to make the call and ask the question I really do MCO I’ve been watching your draft combine work and it’s been very impressive man you I appreciate it youve done a fantastic job four hours of TV is not easy and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it man I’ve been locked in you guys have done a fantastic job my question is one since you’re there and you were doing all that work uh is there a draft prospect that You’ seen in your time down there that may not be getting enough hype that you’re like hey this this kid could be a player and then the second part is what are you seeing from bronnie James uh what’s the uh yeah so so yeah if you can give me that yeah awesome so one of the one of the things um that I’ve done for the last six or seven years is which I love doing it’s a lot of work and time is um I work with agents to help their clients interview prepare them for their interview when they meet with teams so on average I’ve done this year I’ve done about 60 players in the three weeks before the combine uh I started with Jason Tatum seven years ago I think seven years ago and kind of just built up a network here and it gives me some really good insight into who they are and then I can go on TV and talk about them and and really share their story the one player I and I said this on um I think it was Wednesday that I really enjoyed meeting with I enjoyed watching him at UC Santa Barbara was AJ Mitchell who was a three-year guy um from Belgium um defends like crazy plays Point 65 um good body really competed in the combine the Google machine and Phoenix just skyrocketed right now I really I really it just I love guys that can compete in Chicago I know the body of work of what you’ve seen in during the course of year played I think he played hurt this year too he told me for most of the year but still was out there um got better um as those other like that’s your three-year guy right that’s a guy that you draft you could probably put him in a game right away so I I enjoyed watching him getting to know him um Brony is interesting because McDonald’s all American coming out of Sierra um Sierra Canyon uh we all know about what happened last July with the cardiac uh you know arrest doesn’t play basketball for basically four or five months right doesn’t doesn’t pick up a ball gets put into a I would say somewhat chaotic situation at USC a team that a lot of people thought were going to be better like things were like chaos there right like off the rails 19 minutes what 27% from three 30 like you know Five Points really nondescript um comes to Chicago I I went out to LA to to talk with him met with him I loved him he was terrific awesome personality engaging got big he’s up to 215 right now like all muscle could play like outside linebacker for you shot the heck out of the ball when I saw him in La shot the heck out of the ball Monday night in the combine right so that raised everyone’s eyes right when you’re shooting 19 to 25 from three I don’t care if there’s three other guys out there still pretty impressive and his mechanics looked really good now we get to Tuesday and now we’re all expecting everything we’re expecting his dad to show up we’re expecting all these different things and he struggled right they had him playing Point um not a point guard doesn’t measure great 61 and a half without shoes so he’s probably what six2 and a quarter so what is he right he’s a small two guard he can defend like crazy right so his comp when he talked to me when he did his media media was Davon Mitchell like I asked which is great I love players when I ask them like who do you like to watch and who do you like to study and when they say well I like Damen Lillard do he play like Daman Lillard no I just like how he shoots the ball I’m like okay who do you like to watch DAV um you know Davon Mitchell okay why I love how he defends okay so Tuesday he struggles Wednesday they play him off the ball they’ve got Mark Sears from Alabama playing point mark didn’t play the day before because he had a quad injury and then they had um Aj Johnson who was a Fresno kid who played in Australia last year so both those guys played so Brony plays off the ball and plays really well I mean shoots four for 10 but in game one all he would take was a little floater down the lane right like really that’s was kind of like is that only the only thing he has made a step back hit a corner three was really active good on defense so now it’s like okay he can play right like he’s an I think he’s an NBA level player I think gavone moved him up to like 54 on his top 100 he was like at 98 so there’s movement there do I think he’s a first round Prospect probably not I don’t think though do I think he can get drafted I do um is there teams in the 20s or 30s that you think okay remove the dad Factor here right like I it drives me crazy like well if we draft him was the dad coming too like let’s just worry about the player like do I think he can step on an NBA floor next year probably not right I I think you would probably see him more in the G League I think he’s a work in development I think he’s an investment two two-year investment and then you could probably see him on on the floor but that’s that’s with most F late first round guys second round picks two-way guys that you’re going to see him with their g-league team here so I think he helped himself I think he helped himself competing what he does with in his individual workouts over the month will certainly help but I would not be stunned at all when um for our sake because we had two nights of the draft that on day two he gets um he gets selected somewhere here where I don’t know would it be te teams that have multiple picks and you want to take a flyer and you’ve got what you want for somebody that you know would help you I could see that does it make sense if you’re picking 15 to take them and you need a player that might be a little bit more of a reach there oh okay well so it sounds like you’re you’re saying that LeBron James might take a you know nice little vet minimum just to come here is that is that what I heard all that that’s all I heard here let me let me I’m gonna be actually serious in this I like the question I’m gonna actually be serious this I think it would be a disservice for teams not to make the call and ask the question I really do and I like I think there’s I think there’s a multi-step process here I think first of all get your Scouts in a room usually you don’t start doing your board until like the weekend of before the Draft starts so we would bring our guys in like Saturday Sunday Scouts would be doing your top whatever 60 top 75 and you that’s how that you start doing it I do think there’s probably a conversation you have with your Scouts now and say hey give me a preliminary big board right let give me your top 60 top 75 and let’s see where listen if you get it and bronn’s not on there it’s a little bit of a stretch there but I do think there’s a conversation with with the agent um Rich Paul saying hey we have interest in him at 20 I’m just hypothetical we have interest in at 22 where do you see what’s what’s the what’s LeBron going to do right like you know our situation here like we have this is what we got we got three million bucks right um we have a really appealing developmental program um this is not about the dad this is about you know investing longterm in him all that stuff but I do think it’s worth having the conversation I really do I mean I think every team has to have the conversation it’s because if until you ask you never know couldn’t agree more Bobby I mean M has been gung-ho from day one of building out that g-league team and getting better at the development of younger players

LeBron James is not guaranteed to return to the Los Angeles Lakers next year, could he join the Phoenix Suns? Bobby Marks of ESPN joined the PHNX Suns podcast to discuss.
