Can the Suns include other assets in a Bledsoe S&T? Looking on cbafaq.com and can't find an answer.

I think you missed the CALIFORNIA Love video.

I remember him retweeting something related to a certain california team too.

how long does a team have to wait until they can trade a signed rookie?

GOT IT? Good.

No one is disrespecting Traxxe or Not Traxxe here. No one said he was anything other than what he claims to be. People are just pointing out his information is incomplete and commenting on it. We all respect that he has limits as to what he can say, and limits as to what information he might have. No one is being critical of that either.

LucasBMX- I don't understand the fervor in your reply. Traxxe put out some information, but left out the specific team Bledsoe had a bigtime offer from. I didn't understand why he couldn't name the team and asks for an explanation....and then asking which team that was. Why is interrogative with insiders such a transgression?

If NoTraxxe can go as far as saying "there was a team" it would be enlightening to find out why him saying "it was the _______" would be helpful information as to how this inside thing works. Tell us why you can't be specific NoTraxxe. As of now, it's still a mystery.

What strikes me so odd (for years now) is how the instant any potentially juicy tidbit gets tweeted or written in long form or dropped in a broadcast by any of the dozens and dozens known NBA scribes and mouthpieces, is sliced and dice and heckled to death. But any info dropped by a Suns insider is expected to be treated as dogma beyond questioning by so many of you. That any search for more information...dissection is invariably met with "how dare you!!!"

Anything anybody posts on RealGM should be posted with the understanding that it is going to be examined closely and will likely be met with great scrutiny...questions will follow. If you need insiders to be treated as infallible or above any constructive or deconstructive discourse ...start some strange sports religion.

I will continue to ask questions of any post no matter any blessed consecration by RealGM. And anyone that doesn't out of some sort of reverence ...you need help.

Who cares. Believe him (them) if you want. Maybe he was told about the situation and not he teams. Just because he leaks some info doesn't mean he is holding back even more.

No offense but you really don't know if these guys are "insiders". All of the stuff they provide has been speculation.

Not a single "insider" has predicted a FA signing or a draft selection before it happened in the past 3 years on this forum.

How do you know that these "insiders" aren't sitting at home drinking a beer laughing about how you and others actually think they know something that you don't? Oh riiiight because the very advanced verification process by the mods :lol:

If EB wants to play for the QO-find out what team he really wants to play for and trade him there

Iwould not want him on the Suns

Bledsoe will resign. We will add a year or go up a million. Then come the season we will be cheering them on and all will be well.

He doesn't have any other smart move to make. And it will happen towards the end of things. Because they will want to milk all they can making us believe he will take the QO.

Jredsaz- I can't seem to quote your post but to answer your question no I don't think the suns can attach assets to a Bledsoe sign and trade. But say they dealt him for horford I think they can get around that by breaking it up into two separate deals. Could be technically Bledsoe for horford then they could send some picks and/or one of our bigs for some lesser piece. And being that both teams have a little cap space those deals wouldn't be that complicated.

I hope you're right. At this point Bledsoe has to play like his hair is on fire before i start cheering for him again

The Suns won't sniff contention without Bledsoe therefor I hope he's back. I can't take another 9-10 seed season for the fifth time in six or whatever seasons.

I hope you are right on this. The best scenario, still, is for Bledsoe to be here and happy about it. Will he be happy?

Wouldn't surprise me if, after the Love and Thad Young deals go down that Rich Paul approaches Philly again. There offseason is likely over at that point and maybe he'll just ask if they can help out. Granted, I'm sure they wouldn't be thrilled if we let him walk..

At this point, I wouldn't care. With the cap going up, let him get a 4 year max deal and we'll figure things out later.

"At this point, I wouldn't care. With the cap going up, let him get a 4 year max deal and we'll figure things out later".

Screw that. Just pay him to pay him. No thanks. Bledsoe is not a superstar. He isn't even a star.

Even with Bledsoe, I think we will be fighting for one of the last playoff spots. The Suns are nowhere near "contention", but as Suns fans we should just be happy to be mediocre. It seems to be our status quo, and what most fans really want anyway. Why build for a future championship team, when you can run and gun for the 8th seed year in and year out.

Wrong. Ray Ray broke the Beasley signing and the Hedo trade, while Im pretty sure Traxxe broke the Shaq trade. Shaq wasnt 3 years ago but still, you get the point
