You could make that argument if Minnesota could sign him on their own... but they can't. This is not a straight forward "oh, we're taking on this big contract, how can we be expected to throw talent in?", because just to get him the Wolves are going to need to shed a LOT of contracts, which by itself, even without also getting Bledsoe, would cost the Wolves value.
The Wolves are way over the cap, if they were to trade for Bledsoe they would only be able to marginally increase their payroll because they'd have to send off equal salary. So you're asking the Suns to give up a very very good player whos rights they control AND to take on a bunch of crap contracts in return? Its a laughable thought to anyone who is not a complete Wolves homer.
For Minnesota to pull of a sign and trade REAL value would have to be surrendered, not an assortment of mid-tier veterans on lousy contracts.
