http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/23 ... -With-SunsFree agent Anthony Tolliver has reached agreement on a two-year, $6 million contract with the Phoenix Suns, league sources told RealGM.
His agent, Larry Fox, confirmed the deal on Tuesday night.
Does anyone think that Eric Bledsoe is going to leave, I'm starting to think that Phoenix rather not have him. Also, why not kick the tires on Carlos Boozer for the Suns first than Tolliver?

Tolliver would be a better fit then Boozer. Suns play pretty uptempo, Tolliver can space the floor and tries to play some defense at least.

I thought some team was going to overpay for Anthony Tolliver. Not a bad contract for the Phoenix Suns for a player that's going to replace what Channing Frye did.

Don't know what this signing has to do with Bledsoe...
And Tolliver fits the Suns system much better than Boozer.

I just get the feeling they want him to take the qualifying offer or sign & trade the guy, he doesn't seem to be in the plans of Suns management with Gorgan Dragic, Isaiah Thomas & Tyler Ennis on the Suns roster. Plus, Boozer is a banger and the Suns need that type of player, jump-shooting only gets you so far in the NBA.

Bledsoe/Thomas/(Ennis in D-League)
Dragic/Green/Goodwin
What's wrong with this guard rotation? There's no way the Suns will be starting Isaiah and Dragic with two 19-year-olds backing them up.
Boozer a "banger"?
You haven't seen him play in a while, have you?

I watch the man play, yes. I don't hold a high opinion of Boozer but to say he's not tough, he's not going to get you points or boards is silly. The guy is a solid veteran who can help any team that wants to get into the playoffs or contend for a title. He'll get picked up quickly. If this is coming down to Boozer > Tolliver question, then 100% yes, Boozer is a much better player.

Very OK Channing Frye replacement. I used to like him a lot as a Warrior before the Curry era.

He was the first person they traded for and all the have done is say they want to keep him. They have already given him a qualifying offer and discussed contract terms. Bledsoe's team is waiting for another team to offer him a contract to test his market value. Isaiah will be the 6th man off the bench and bledsoe will be back.

He can stretch the floor and he plays decent defense. Good move for the Sun's.

Good player, he tries hard and can shoot.
Attempts to play defense.
Best of luck to him, he is a great professional and excellent team mate.
I'm glad he got paid.

What's wrong is that the rotation will pretty much be
Bledsoe/Thomas
Dragic/Bledsoe
Too small.
