time to push that panic button.

Even if he cant play for the Suns in the playoffs, barbosa will be ready by that time. release christmas to make room for gordon.

do this because the suns shouldnt be relying on eric bledsoe's 100% recovery.

What about Dahntay Jones? Athletic defender, can play both guard spots... Playoff Accessible

I like this idea much better.

But I think we are better off just giving Goodwin more mins than signing anyone else right now.

Goodwin's good enough to get Barbosa's minutes. He's proven that when he's actually got playing time like in that Jazz game.

LB hasn't really impressed me all that much in terms of production. He's always a threat to score and if you don't play D, he's going to put points on the board but he hasn't really been all that effective scoring the ball or running the team. He definitely added more speed to our line up but not all that much. I think Goodwin can fill in LB's minutes until Bledsoe returns.

Signing Gordon makes no sense. Bledsoe will be back in less than a week and Hornacek already said he wants to cut down the guards rotation to 3 players (Dragic, Bledsoe, Green) so what would Gordon do? Whine on the bench about wanting more playing time?

No thanks.

Lemme guess... this needs to be done or McD can kiss his Exec of the year goodbye?

I cant just hear the voters now: "I wasnt sure who I was going to vote for but then the Suns signed the pile of trash Gordon, WHAT A MOVE!"

Bledsoe should take as much time as possible. Absolutely no need to bring him back early. We've stayed in the playoff hunt, but Bledsoe's long term health is significantly more important.

It's not like Bledsoe was pulling a "Rose" anyways.

Bledsoe did not make such a pronouncement weeks ago. Do you just make this up to irritate people or are you listening to voices in your head?

Ben Gordon is an idiotic idea period. End of discussion.

You're only saying that because Ben Gordon is terrible at basketball.

Yup!! But there are other lesser reasons too. I see you did not think much of the idea either.

Yeah, my previous comment was tongue in cheek. Ben Gordon is hot garbage.
