Welcome back, LB! That backcourt will look familiar. :)

P.s. He's coming off a major injury and hasn't looked himself in a while.

Apparently he was killing it in Brazilian league.

I just hope it doesn't mean what I think it means.

Everyone stop beating around the bush. Does it mean that Bledsoe is out for much longer than expected?

Most likely.

But no confirmation on that?

None. All AZ media are saying it is insurance in case it's wore than we think.

It's confirmed. He said he's going to PHX to the Brazilian media, didn't even play for his 'current' team

Cool news, Barbs was always a favorite of mine. Let's hope Bledsoe is fine.

If he works out, and Bled heals fine, Goodwin goes to the DLeague? And will we see some posters get unhinged? :lol:

I love it! Adds some vet leadership, and more depth. It's a 10-day contract, so not much risk, and if it works out, I'm sure he'll be super cheap to sign on for the rest of the season.

Hoping it doesn't mean Bledsoe is out for a long time, cause it didn't look all that bad when he landed funny, but this is a good stop-gap.

I thought Ish was solid for us but I guess Barbosa could be an upgrade.

Ish was 'solid' in one game. He's hurt the Suns in his playing time almost every other time he's stepped on the floor. Barbosa >>>>>>>>> Ish.
