Oh, and if the alternative to Bledsoe is Lowry, please, just try a traditional backcourt.

We should offer him $10.61 million a year.

If a team beats us, then we match it.

Why $10.61 (Price is right style!)

Bledsoe may or may not have been unhappy when he first came here, but anyone notice he is all smiles lately (On the court, in interviews, etc)? He should be happy here! This is HIS team (along with Dragic) and he has been given a golden opportunity to earn himself a killer payday in the suns system. Had he stayed in LA, he probably would have been lucky to command over $6 million a year (unless Chris Paul went down and Bledsoe replaced him and had a killer season).

McD thought the current backcourt would work and it is. Why people don't think they both can't be here longterm I dunno. The two best players on every current title contender are making much more than Dragic/Bledsoe will.

I think they'll both make around 10-11m per year on their next contract and there's still room to max out a guy like Love...

If he keeps up his current level of play, i do not think he will get he max. Hes playing great, but if your team is not built on run and gun, then offering him max is really really shady. He has some complimentary pieces for him to succeed in slashing and playing fast(inflated stats), but most of the teams are not built on those aspects, so we probably can identify those teams who are and who would benefit truly from paying Bledsoe the moon and stars, so we can analyze current situation and make logical assumptions.

[TMI]Im in Bangkok already celebrating new years[/TMI], so currently not willing to look up teams with cap space, who he would "fit" with but i bet there arent many
