Suns Rumors: LeBron James, Eric Bledsoe share agent, free agency help?

In today's Suns rumors and news update, a common link between dynamic young Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe and Miami Heat free agent LeBron James could be a helpful tool for Suns' management when it comes to courting LeBron to the Valley of the Sun.

According to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski (via FOX Sports), James and Bledsoe share the same agent - Klutch Sports' Rich Paul. Paul's familiarity with the Suns could play an integral role in helping the Suns land an audience with LeBron:

"The Suns know the agent has a more intimate understanding of Phoenix's potential appeal than most," writes Wojnarowski. "Paul knows the Suns are the fifth-winningest franchise in NBA history, that owner Robert Sarver has gone into the luxury tax three times in recent years, that Phoenix has long been a preferred residence of thirtysomething stars with families." 

Add in the Suns' ability to offer max contracts to both LeBron and Melo if they so choose, along with three first-round draft picks next year, and you have the perfect storm for an amazing sales pitch.

As long as LeBron is willing to listen, the Suns could wake up on the first day of the 2014-15 season with arguably the best player in the game today.
