What's the chances he plays on QO and we're screwed?

Almost zero. With his injury history he'd have to have the worst agent ever to play on the QO.

He is screwed on a QO because he will have a down season. Dragic and I.Thomas will cut into his statistics and his offer next year will be the same or less. Also, what if he gets hurt. Take the money and run. Son.

Hard to tank with Kobe around. Though, he probably doesn't care anymore and just wants to collect that money.

We should be reminded that this is Chris Broussard who is reporting this news about Bledsoe.

Probably realized they weren't worse than Bucks, Twolves (minus Love), 76ers, & Detroit, so said "F it" let's create some more false hope for idiot Laker fans and convert that to ticket/jersey

Lin
Swaggy
Kobe
Boozer
Hill

= ugly-ass 6-10 pick

That lineup is about good enough for the 8-10th worst record in the league. PERFECT.

Maybe our secret agent Steve Nash will play good to bring us the pick :lol:

He might be looking for a max - it's very unlikely there will be one. He can play on the QO, but he would be foregoing a substantial amount of security and money. He could take this risk, but he would be foolish to do so.

Broussard seems to be doing nothing more than carrying the water for Bledsoe's incompetent agent and he appears to be whoring himself out so he can ingratiate himself with Lebron's camp (common agent Rich Paul). Rich Paul has never had to negotiate a contract for a very good player for whom the market is soft and cannot get a max contract and he is frustrated here because he cannot get a max offer from the Suns or anyone else.

Right now Broussard is doing his best to help Paul stir the pot - to the point of suggesting the Suns listen to S&T offers. Other than the 76ers, there are no teams out there offer a max contract and the 76ers simply do not need or want him. There are several teams within reach if they dump salary, but the other teams in the league have taken notice that you could dump players to make that max offer - only to have it matched. Houston went down this path to try to get Melo or Bosh and they gave away draft choices, Lin and Asik with nothing to show for it. They declined Parsons' contract because the did not get Melo or Bosh and Parsons' salary would have made them inflexible in their pursuit of another star.

Bledsoe not getting what he wanted so I bet his agent leaked it to the media to try and get other clubs involved and put pressure on the Suns.

He will be in Phoenix at the end of the day and I doubt he will get his max.

Lakers should just trade Nash to the Suns and unprotect that pick. They would have 10m more of cap space

As for the team: Lin, Davis, Boozer,Young, HIll, Kobe --should be good enough for a 7-10 area for seeding.

Regarding Bledsoe,I know that is his job and he through his agent are negotiating and that it is all like a chess game....blablabla...but I think he has been too much "professional" about his contract and the team. He is acting like a robot, he does not express any feeling of appreciation to our team...I know that is all a business but come on.....

Playing a chess game right now! I say 4 years 44 mill he should take

Suns right now should question if he is going to be happy here or would the right option be to go after a sign and trade

It just depends if he stays healthy it would work out for him.
Most people think nobody offered him a contract because suns all year said they would match anything.
Teams didn't want to send a offer and have phx wait 3 days and match.

If so he will have the same options next year of teams wanting him but not being scared off.
Suns letting Bledsoe take a QO would be terrible.

I still think he holds the power it's going to force phx into a S&T or giving him a max.
You let it reach QO he's gone next year for no asset
