Simmons posted part one of his trade value column. Always an interesting read. Has Goran at 56, Bledsoe at 53, Len at 50, and Markeif and his bargain contract at 40. I mostly agree but probably would have had Bledsoe a little higher. Curious on peoples thoughts.

Simmons gets it. Kieff brings the toughness and hits the big shots.

I think Goran is a little low, and while Kieff is on a bargain deal, he's moved before Len all day and every day in my book. I'd probably go with Len, Bledsoe, Kieff in order of most to least trade value. That's in terms of contract and potential. Kieff is on a better deal than Bledsoe, but Bledsoe's got much more potential. If I have to choose who I'd rather have, it's Bledsoe.

It's nice to see Simmons, definitely the most read sports writer likely by a long shot, talk up how some of these Suns are underrated, they are the most fun team to watch, and that they need to be in the playoffs. As much as I hate it at times, he influences opinions.

Needs to play 2,500 minutes in ONE season before he cracks the top 50. (Since 48 guys did it last season, we’re not asking for much here.) The good news: Bledsoe ranks third behind Westbrook and Wall in 2015’s Freakocious Guard rankings.

He's spot on.

Len will be higher soon if he keeps improving at this rate.
Dragic is too low but that's because he's about to hit UFA, and will be re-upped this summer.
