Bledsoe is intriguing because of how productive he actually is in the time he is able to stay on the court. His situation reminds me of Lowry's when he moved from HOU to TOR. All the indicators were there for an elite level guard - including production - he just couldn't stay healthy.

I'm not saying it's not without faults, but Bledsoe is a risk I'd understand them taking if it somehow was a real option.

it appears that Mills may actually know how to negotiate...

I could see Horns pushing Millz to go hard for him.
You know, visions of an eighth seed stuff.
I can't lie, I really like his game.

i don't think bledsoe wants to be on the suns its booker team he not main guy and they are rebuilding i just don't think he wants to be there and they ended season early for him for 2 months and wanted to go in a different direction.

Sources indicate that the deal is done but no decision is imminent. There's ten potential trade partners and dozens of players and picks to sort through. A deal will be some time in the near future or next week. Situation is fluid.

Let's see, 2 more years of Moe Harkless or 2 years of Eric Bledsoe?

I'll take Harkless

All things being equal, you'd be the only one to choose Harkless over Bled.

Yeah, I mean, I don't like the idea of adding him because I'm hoping to bottom out and get a great pick in next year's draft to really create a strong foundation, but at the same time he's a very legit lead guard in the NBA. Not the type of guy that's about projection or development - he can dominate right now. He simply hasn't stayed healthy.

So at some point, if you're building and also trying to develop some sort of competitive atmosphere around KP, aren't you looking to get players like that on the team? You can't just rock it till the wheels fall off for the lottery, because we've already seen Porzingis demonstrate an unhealthy level of bitchassness in the face of turmoil and losing.

If Bledsoe is the main piece who else. We get our starter cool who can score. What else do we get.

Da_Mane_Man · Post #791 » by **Da_Mane_Man** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 4:53 am

Guys, don't lose focus. As much as i'm tempted by Bledsoe, he deters our tank. Eyes on the prize.

Maury2423 · Post #792 » by **Maury2423** » Thu Jul 13, 2017 4:55 am

I would very content if we landed Bledsoe but of course I would like some picks, young players, and/or vets on 2yr or less deals.

I think it would be a very good thing to have Bledsoe here because it would be good for Frank to go up against such a strong and quick guard like Bledsoe in practice AND let's be honest here, Bledsoe gets hurt often so I wouldn't be surprised if Frank got a lot of starts when/if Bledsoe gets hurt.(I'm not hoping he gets hurt but he's definitely injury prone) The downside is we may be good enough to not get a top pick but not good enough to make the playoffs

Helllll ****** no to both bledsoe and knight.

We might as well trade frank if this bull***** happens.

We could have just drafted DSJ in the first place.

I don't know, what is Bledsoe? Like 6'1? I hate these miniature and injury prone guards.

Lets just roll with a Baker/Frank PG rotation

I feel you cuz I prefer PG's with size that can see over the defense but he'd add a dimension we don't have in our point guard corps and he'd play well with any of our guards. Tim, Frank, Ron, Dot or Lee if he's still here.

Bledsoe may be "only" 6'1", but the last thing I'd call him is "miniature". :lol:

Dude is built like a freaking tank and plays with a lot of power on his drives, which is part of the reason his nickname is Mini-Lebron.

One of his go-to moves is to blow by his defender, then slow down and keep him on his hip the whole way to the basket or floater. He's short, but definitely not a "little" PG.
