Yeah, but we just lost one of our best three point shooters and than lose another one. At some point got to get three point shooters back to this team.

I don't really understand what this means :-? I wasn't aware we had a Bledsoe "situation"

Bledsoe put us into the info loop.

Edit: Negotiating contracts wanting to know what we should do with Bled. Since his agent is Lebron's agent....he hooked us up with insider trading info. That was cool.

Realistically we were never in the running. It was fun to dream though :lol:

I was told the agent called last night and the Suns were out of it. Maybe they met today -- sometimes things are not that way. Ray Ray can comment on that better than I can I guess.

The thing about the current management is they talk to the media (a choice few). They just do so confidentially. And if you burn them then you are black-listed from the processes. It's a smart way to do business. The current management doesn't play a lot of the 'leaked' info games, etc.

The Suns are working a three team deal once things settle. I know because I am familiar with a team that was contacted in it and declined to be involved. Don't know what happened after that.

I just knew we were not getting Lebron. And I know the Pacers and Celtics were in conversations with the Suns.

Bledsoe is going to get his offer sheet soon too. He's a max. Teams asking about S&T were told no unless a star is coming back. But that was as of last week (Friday) when I heard that.

So lebron used us to help Bledsoe. Figures...
Anyway, guess we will start seeing moves soon.

I am missing something - so the talk with LeBron was just to help Bledsoe get a max contract?

I am leery of giving Bledsoe a max deal - but oh well

Thanks for the information NT - good stuff

I like the idea of a three team trade - so far, Ryan McD has done a good job with his three trades.

Knucklehead SG- if that's Green - I am not dumping him yet. It may be sell high but the Suns need a three ball shooter

No sleep or tears lost over LeBron. Never had my hopes up in the first place.

Green was so good for us. If we lose him, we are maybe under .500

Nah...Cleveland. I am going back to he wants to retire and live in Akron as an old man. He can do that if he goes back to Cleveland, all is forgiven if he goes back!

I hope not.
He would be a freakin' fit to our scheme.

Ray ray And 1'd that...

Does James actually want to return to CLE? That would most likely mean Bosh to HOU. West would pretty freaking tough to get through.

Return to Phoenix Suns
