Should the Suns match a max contract offer for Eric Bledsoe?

[Scutt]

Bledsoe's health, specifically his knee, would make hesitant at matching a max contract offer. He was in the dunk contest the year before he joined the Suns, but I watched a lot of games last year, and I don't really recall him dunking the ball at all. He has torn his meniscus twice now, and you have to wonder how much that is going to affect someone who relies on their athleticism so much, like Bledsoe, down the road. A few years down the line, do you want a point guard who plays under the basket and cannot stay healthy getting paid max dollars? We do have a great medical staff though, and I trust they will do their homework. With all that said, I like Bledsoe's game and hope he remains healthy and a Sun for years to come.

I don't think you let him walk away for nothing. If you don't want to pay him the max you match and trade him to wherever he wants to go. Can't let him walk away for nothing.

Looking at the Bledsoe Market: http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2014/ ... -secondary



Teams in red are the ones that have cap space and need point guards. Can't see him going to Milwaukee or Detroit, so we're looking at LAL, DAL, and TOR

Dallas has said their not going to be offering any max deals this summer

Mavericks Will Pitch Top Free Agents On Organization, Won't Offer Max Deals

So whatever Dallas offers, we should easily be able to match it.
