The Phoenix Suns are becoming more aggressive after failing to make the final berth of the 2014 NBA playoffs. The team is specifically eyeing superstar LeBron James as he enters the free agent market after this season. James may choose to waive the final year of his contract and become a free agent for "The Decision Part 2". The Suns also have other big options like Kevin Love and Carmelo Anthony.

Should LeBron join the Phoenix Suns, the game would definitely revolve around him and make the team an instant contender. The presence of Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic already boosted the Suns' performance by winning 48 games, in a report by SB Nation.

In the meantime, King James is also contemplating where to move on next after his contract with the Miami Heat expires. LeBron can benefit by joining a younger team like the Suns. The recent entrance of Phil Jackson as president of the New York Knicks also grabbed the attention of many NBA stars with the hope of winning a championship ring under his guidance. LeBron can wait until 2015 or opt out during the summer. According to a report by Lakers Nation, a source said that until Jackson joined the Knicks, James was not interested in joining the team.

Love and James can even play together in New York in 2015 should Jackson and his crew offer the right sales pitch. It is uncertain if such acquisition would result to the exit of Carmelo Anthony who is also about to become a free agent.

The only way that the Phoenix Suns can make their dream come true would be to approach James and make an offer. Their head coach must be bold enough to indicate that they need James to win. Kevin Love will more likely respond to an offer from Phoenix if James is already waiting for him there.

Furthermore, James has the chance to finally become a hero, not a villain, in "The Decision Part 2".
