Milwaukee is the only team left rumored to want Bledsoe - but they can't even offer a max to him.
I say we offer a fair deal (Dragic makes 7.5mil, IT2 just signed for 6.5mil) - let's offer him 8mil.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

You need to have a little faith in the FO bro
The plan is unfolding ... And it seems every crease gets stuck in your craw
Lol, I'm not wolverine. Anyway, you got to see my prospective. My first game I ever went to was against the lakers waaay back when (first game lakers played when magic announced he had aids without him) and we destroyed them. Anyway, besides the cards, I'm highly invested in the suns so yes I get alittle emotional.
But I get what ur saying.

I may be a marching band of one, but I wouldn't mind Roy Hibbert and think Pacers make a good trading partner for us. He is absolutely the best rim protecting C in the league. Pacers seem like they are very down on him, calling him mental, headcase etc. Some are calling for Pacers to trade Hibbert to free up money for Stephenson. Hibbert had a great first half last year, and a horrible second half and playoffs. However I think Hornacek and Suns organization could really get him back to his best effort.
Suns trade: Bledsoe, Plumlee
Pacers trade: Hibbert
Hibbert has only two years left on his $16 per year contract.

Guarantee you morey will max Bledsoe

You do not pay about 7 million a year for a guy to be a backup when you already have two starting point guards, plus other true shooting guards. They can offer the Wolves Bledsoe, the Morris Brothers, and maybe the return of the Minnesota pick for Love, or overpay to sign Gasol. They need a proven, big time scoring frontcourt player. That is their biggest weakness right now.

I don't know if they can either. Parsons' contract eats into their cap space. They would need to sign Bledsoe before the Parsons' contract is official - thus the rush to sign Bosh. Bledsoe is a RFA so, I don't think it can be done.

The Wolves could care less about that draft pick. Its worthless to them. If they lose Love, they will be a lotto team again, thus still covered under the protection of the pick. After next years draft it turns into 2 2nd round picks. Its garbage to them.

wow you talk about not wanting to give Deng a bad contract then you talk about taking on Hibbert to play on a fast-tempo offensively-oriented team?

I agree with that. Just like chopping your finger off is better than chopping your hand off. I would prefer to do neither though.
I've got to remember that one.

Dragic and Thomas does not a backcourt make.
