If Bledsoe is worth max contract he would received it.

Supposedly, the Rockets did not match Parson's offer based on a demand by DH's agent, as Parsons and DH share the agent and this agent made Howard's arrival to the Rockets possible.

Not correct. They let him BECOME a UFA a year before they had to based on the agreement. The not matching was their own decision.

I believe by no means they thought Parsons would receive such a big offer...

So what can a re-signed Eric Bledsoe fetch if we, indeed, deal him at some point?

If he's a top 20 player as the cultists think he is, you'd have to think we could get a pretty damn good return.

good deal...Bledsoe gets an extra year and more money, Suns don't pay him the max...give on both sides...now lets play some ball

F word

Would rather have signed him for 64/4 @ $16 million per year.

If his knees sh it the bead in year two, we are stuck with him for 3 more years.

I hope we learn from Amare and trade him in year 3 of the contract when his trade value is peaking rather then wait until he is a free agent again and either sign him to a 5/120 max deal or lose him for nothing.

We wouldn't have signed that deal without insurance on the contract. Sarver knows better. That means the Suns were willing to sign a hefty insurance premium, I'm sure, in order to get this done. Wouldn't surprise me if that was also communicated to Bledsoe.

Obviously they are not too worried about his injuries though.

I dunno man, if misfortune falls on us, then he has us locked in for another year

Well, I didnt say it'll be immediate..

But I cant fathom the Suns potentially have invest 35~37 Million a year on players who play their best at the PG position.

Damn.

Now I'm REALLY worried about that knee. Yikes!

BurningHeart · Post #1417 » by **BurningHeart** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:05 pm

Scary, scary contract. The medical staff better have given the all-clear.

thamadkant · Post #1418 » by **thamadkant** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:08 pm

Also Suns using up its 5 year contract on Bledsoe...
What does that say to Dragic?.. Goran that is...

4 year extention?..

or is McD finally getting his way over Babby and Sarver?

Because I would say McD would be more pro-Bledsoe than Dragic.

Anyone that's concerned about the amount of years, I'll put this out there. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bledsoe traveled to Phoenix today not just to sign the contract (that was probably agreed to a few days ago), but to take a physical. If our training staffed looked him over and agreed that a 5 year deal made sense, I'm not going to question that. I trust our training staff. End of story.
