I was intrested in the Minny trade! Still am. Liked Tyus Jones, and Dieng too.

The awful:

Austin Rivers and Atlanta's 2018 2nd round pick for Bledsoe

The not bad but don'tneed another wing:

Rockets Get Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas, Chris Paul to Cleveland, Channing Frye and Jae Crowder to Phoenix

Their best one:

Minnesota Sends Gorgui Dieng, Tyus Jones, and OKC’s 2018 First-Round Pick to Phoenix for Bledsoe

They also had a separate piece regarding the Suns and detailing a bunch of decisions by McD and what has happened under Sarver's watch, if you care at all to read... https://www.theringer.com/nba/2017/10/23/16527372/phoenix-suns-earl-watson-eric-bledsoe

These are all awful...no thanks. I guarantee that if there are multiple buyers, the offers will go up.

When a team like the suns is this desperate to trade a player, other GMs going to take adventage of that.

I honestly would just move him straight up for future picks and im talking 2020's and salary cap filler we can cut immediately we have enough young guys that need playing time the last thing we need to do is eat up more of the time with some average player.

McD going to McD i guess. Buckle in for a long ride on this. Waiting somewhat worked with keif although i still wonder if they would have got more that summer before he started pouting. It failed miserably with knight last year.

I want the deal done, but have no problem waiting for a team to get desperate. A couple more losses in row for Denver might do the trick.

If teams aren't willing to give us anything significant, then McD should work to include a contract like Chandler to it (and we take back an expiring).

“That’s actually a stunner to me,” the opposing GM said. “If that was actually the offer, why are the Knicks clinging to these unknowns?”

Crazy that the Knicks deal is seen, by some, as good for NY. Those guys fit our timeline but I guess the Knicks want to keep their young depth or believe they'll be special someday.

We aren't desperate. We're not competing for anything. What's the rush?

If this goes past the weekend unresolved, and the FO sticks with the persona non grata with Eric, the NBPA is going to get involved. Phoenix's rep has already been sullied with the recent player "dramas" ...deserved or not. Make a deal soon or bring him back into the fold, is my stance.

Other teams are going to leak this kind of stuff to the media to drive the asking price down. We aren't desperate considering we aren't in the playoff hunt and we have him under contract for 2 more years. So I don't care if it takes us till the trade deadline. Someone will come with a significant offer. Patients is going to win out. There are at least 3 or 4 teams who want him pretty bad and that is likely to go up as the season plays out and playoffs come into perspective. There is always a bidding war for a star player and Bledsoe is an all star caliber player.

There has been plenty of hate for just about everyone at any given time. Warren, Bledsoe, Bender, Chriss, Dragic, Thomas, Morris twins, Tucker, Len, Chandler, Knight.

I think only Sauce and Booker have escaped unscathed in recent times.

Per Brian Windhorst ... one of the things that makes early season trades difficult is that 1/3 of the players in the league can not be moved. Free agents who signed this summer aren't eligible to be moved until Dec 15th.

Still think we should move Bledsoe for a large expiring contract, some cash, and two future 1st round picks (3 to 5 years out). Then just waive DJJ or the player we bring in. We don't need a young prospect, we already have a bunch of those and we don't need a vet who is going to take time away from our young prospects.

It would have to be two expirings, and pretty big ones obviously.
