But isn't Monroe's about $2M more than Bledsoe? And Monroe doesn't have an injury history to worry about, either. Then add in the fact that Monroe is a talented 'big', and Bledsoe is just a PG, and those are three very good reasons that will give Bledsoe pause in signing his QO.
I, as most fans here are, just ready to move on. I wouldn't care if he waited until Sep 30 to sign his offer, had the circumstances leading up to it had been different, like practicing/working out with his teammates and showing a little commitment to the team/community, but the fact that he hightailed it out of PHX his first opportunity, and all this whining, complaining, 'woe-is-me' attitude, etc., just shows his true nature.
And those who feel that since LeBron asked PHX to break bread, that that indicates that Bledsoe actually wants to be here, I call BS. The ONLY reason LeBron said that is that they both know that PHX is the ONLY opportunity for Bledsoe to score a max deal. No other team has even hinted at the fact of being willing to pay Bledsoe. He hasn't received one max offer, and only the Suns and Sixers have the cash to pay Bledsoe, so why would he mention any other team when asking to break bread...we are his only option! So that statement means zilch, nada, in any semblance of "dedication" to the Suns or Phx. We are his
only ticket to the show, as it were.
