Looks like there are a lot of rumors.

Has any national reputable source or lakers beat writer reported any of this?

Wouldn't even give Lin straight up

The one thing I'd really want to address with this team is the lack of shooters. I love Bledsoe's game though, and if we can manage a trade, excluding Randle, it would definitely be worth it.

I'm in the Bledsoe is overrated camp. Especially if it takes Randle to get him.

Actually, I'm in the "I hope no one bails out the Suns, and Bledsoe walks for nothing" camp. Let him test free agency.

if we keep Randle, how much are willing to sign and trade Bledsoe for?

I haven't seen anything substantive. At most I would support a Hill+HOU 2015 1st. The speculation including Randle in the deal is ridiculous IMO.

Hill and Nash... So Nash can retire a Sun.

Really, we don't have a whole lot of sign and trade options outside of Hill.

Wouldn't give hill straight up either

doubt this happen

Bledsoe has not proved anything to me besides the fact that he is injury prone and more of a sg than pg. Wouldn't trade Randle for him.

Who overrates Bledsoe I have to ask?

Isnt Eric one of the few true 2-way players at the PG position in the NBA? Solid and can penetrate on offense but elite on defense. His durability is his concern right now and I can understand how most wouldn't want to pay him +12mill a season at this point though.

It's reported that Suns offered Bledsoe 12mil a year, 4 years.

Lakers can't offer with cap. Lakers would have to get him through S&T more than 4/48 or equivalent.

This means Hill, Nash or Lin has to go.

I believe Philly is the only team left with enough cap to give him an offersheet. But some reason, no one is spreading rumor of Bledsoe to Philly.

S.A. Smith is saying "I don't care about the details" as are many sports journalists that support Bledsoe to Lakers. SAS also said that if Lakers don't get Bledsoe, Kobe should force a trade to Knicks. LOL.

Stephen A sounds like he wants to be adopted by Phil Jackson lately... He's gone beyond ludicrous at this point.

I doubt the Laker FO has a strong interest in Bledsoe.
If they did, they would have offered him a deal earlier this off-season when we had tons of cap space.
It just doesn't make much sense on so many levels.

Yet we need to make a thread about it.

SAS also said it would never happen but he said it anyways

Randle should be untouchable...Rest of the team is up for sale if Suns want them. I will be royally pissed if we trade Randle.

After Nash, I learn not to trade with Phoenix. They put a malfunction device on their players when they trade them to us.

Kobe for Melo works in the trade checker no?
