Bledsoe and Suns reach 5 year, $70 million deal

I hope this doesn't set the market for Kemba Walker. $14 million a year is pretty steep, even with the cap rising after the new TV deal. If the Suns build a contending squad that leans heavily on their two great point guards it will be a historical oddity.

Of course Kembra will go for that.

Not really.

Not far off, atleast Hayward can stay healthy. Reminds me of the Eric Gordon contract.

I'd take the risk on Bledsoe way before paying Hayward what he got, when Bledsoe is healthy he's on another tier vs what Hayward is as a player.

Question is does this change things money wise with Dragic?

Regardless of any forthcoming changes in the cap, he is being way overpaid. Hopefully the Suns medical staff can live up to their repuation and keep him healthy so he at least earns some of what he is getting

I would think Dragic is worth more.

Reggie Jackson is also going to get paid. Thunder going to lose him for nothing. One good year, gets you 70 million. Jackson might really get paid 10-11 million this coming off season and it would more than likely be a bargain deal. Still how could OKC pay a backup that kind of bread? And yes, Jackson could start on a number of NBA teams.

Not sure if already mentioned, but I'd love to see Bledsoe's stats WITHOUT Frye on the floor. I think he, and Dragic, had good number because of the floor spacing provided by Frye. It'll be interesting to see if they both can maintain, or even build on their value without him there.

14/year is not bad if he stays healthy. Solid deal for phoenix.

I think he may be traded later thouh.

i think this offseason has taught us Curry and Derozan are underpaid compared to what other players got, atleast in my opinion.

Different market, different CBA.

because many think that with Thabo gone, OKC will run with Westbrook and Jackson at the guard spots, rather than have Jackson off the bench

Also Curry was having major problems with his ankles. He was very injury prone during that time when he got his contract extension.

No doubt. Blazers will max Lillard the first chance they get and we will like it.
