Team has knew since last weekend. Even if Barbosa plays terrible, the Suns will keep him.

From my understanding, I thought the surgery already took place.
Bledsoe will be missed. Heard he's expecting to be out a minimum of 5 weeks.

Predictable.

Suns will struggle down the line without Bledsoe...

If he is out long... McD may have to change his intentions.

Maybe this is an inappropriate question, but what's the consensus... will this help or hurt our chances of resigning him for less than the max this offseason? You'd think the amount of games missed this season so far might scare some teams away, making him more affordable for us. On the other hand, the uncertainty might work in his favor since desperate teams often only look at potential and not much else. Also, will this affect McDonough's stance on matching any offer on Bledsoe?

Lot's of variables here, but maybe this will be best for the team right now to see just how well (or how badly) they play without Bledsoe in the short term.

Guess Barbosa is pretty much a lock to stay. And have a feeling that a trade is coming.

Jude Lacava was right. He tweeted last night during the game that he expects Bledsoe to be out much longer then what is being reported.

On the plus side (if there is such a thing) this will reduce his value in the summer. I think teams are now more cautious than ever in terms if giving big money to good players who are injury prone like Amare, Gordon etc.

Every game will be a dog fight from here on out. We could very well end up just missing the playoffs and being stuck on the outskirts of the lottery. I am deeply saddened by this.

I'm concerned with his athleticism when he returns. Hopefully he can be back to his normal self, since that's his selling point as a player.

BLOW IT UP!

lol

In seriousness…
Suns drop a notch down without Bledsoe.

The loss to Bulls and almost loss to Wolves show Suns aren’t as frenetic without Bledsoe.
What I’m saying is… Dragic would need to be a superstar PG to make up for it..

The last 6 games Dragic has been on fire, but can he keep this up until Bledsoe gets back and usually it takes about another 10 games after game clearance until a player gets back to normal.
And Bledsoe is due for a contract, would he risk coming back early and affect his long term health which affects his contract?

This is actually a big blow to Suns… its like Warriors losing Iguadala… they looked very beatable.

Suns are 7th seed and Mavs, Grizzlies, Wolves are fighting for playoffs…

I’m concerned a bit..

+1

I was confident Suns would be 6th with Bledsoe with a chance to upset 3rd (blazers)

I don't know B Roy had it, he had it removed though, while Westbrook had his repaired, it's the better route but take lolnger to come back.

This sucks I was just getting into Suns basketball.
