Yeah, super accurate --

today's version of Sessions looks nothing like the one who had 24 assists in a game his rookie year

WHen I watched him play last year he still seemed like a good passer to me. His assist numbers may be down partially because the Bucks' offense was so terrible last season.

Wonder if they know something we don't. Thomas doesn't make much sense for them with their current roster

Eric Bledsoe's assist percentage last year was 22.6, lower than any year of Sessions. Not saying Sessions is a better player, but he is a better passer. I think Sessions is a good player and if the bucks didn't already have a veteran presence on their team, he'd be a good re-sign. But I think it's not the right time for the Bucks. Payton would have been ideal.

Maybe someone has a max offer sheet lined up for Bledsoe and Suns don't want to match after all. Doubt it's us though. My guess is Lakers or something.

Or they're just trying to get the market squared away on guards.

Yep. Wonder if they're keeping options open and the talk of "matching any Bledsoe offer" was to defer teams. Now that he might get max, they're forced to explore alternatives.

I think if that's true, it probably is us with the offer lined up. Working magic under the veil of lebron's narcissism.

I received a call the other day from a sales executive and after talking for awhile I asked him about Eric Bledsoe and if he would be able to comment on if he had heard anything. Of course he wouldn't comment on the situation. At least I tried for the sake of this forum.

The Suns are the Anti Bucks, their plan is to have a team of ALL Guards instead of us with ALL PFs.

Please, Please, Please do not be a sign that we are going after Bledsoe

they are a true believers in always having two pgs on the floor at the same time so they do need 2 times as many pgs as a normal offense. With that said if they would sign Thomas someone will get moved. My guess is Goran because he's a ufa next year and would fetch good value in a trade.

Thomas would be an awesome 6th man scorer.

Is that a role he would be interested in though? Especially when he could go to LA and start. Im pretty sure they've expressed interest.

He's been in bench scorer mode for a while now but I think he can change gears back to facilitator if that's what he's told to do.

First of all, we're not in the 60s anymore, so come up with something better than "dude".

Second of all, every time someone comes up with an opinion you use the words "advanced stats" as if that automatically makes your argument. I was responding to a post that listed Sessions declining assist percentage and I gave Bledsoe's assist percentage. Simple as that. Now my guess is that if my post was one that said how great Bledsoe was, you wouldn't have given your"dude" response. So put your statistical arrogance on hold and as they'd say in the 60s, "chill out".
