The One And Only Offseason Thread 3

[bwgood77]

Kind of blows my mind how butthurt people are on this thread about Bledsoe holding out for more cash. It's not like he owes anything to this franchise. He's young and he wants to get paid. Get off his nuts

Him and his agent are just making him look like an ass at this point. I don't blame him for wanting more but when the market dries up and obviously no one wants you, then to demand 5/80 makes you look like an ass.

It probably doesn't make other teams eager to clear cap space either for him. But Rich Paul only reps LeBron, and it isn't exactly hard to get him the max, so he really doesn't know what he's doing.

Ok, but the 5/80 deal was reported by Broussard, right? The same guy that 99% of this board just laughs at anytime he reports something. Now he mentions Bledsoe in one of his tweets and everyone suddenly believes it and acts like Bledsoe personally took a **** in their coffee.

Well I think when he reports breaking news it's pretty suspect. But something like this was an obvious leak from Bledsoe's agent.

Or it might have even be smart for McDonough to leak it if it's the truth, because it doesn't help Bledsoe.

I will say this though, if I were to sit down with EB, I'd ask him:

Lukasbmw: Have you won an MVP award?
EB: No

Lukasbmw: Have you made 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team ALL NBA?
EB: No

Lukasbmw: Have you made the NBA all defense team?
EB: No

Lukasbmw: Have you been an allstar?
EB: No

Lukasbmw: Have you started an entire season?
EB: No

Lukasbmw: Have you played an entire season?
EB: No

Lukasbmw: THEN WHY THE **** DO YOU THINK YOU DESERVE A MAX CONTRACT???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EB: -----

Fan is short for Fanatic...

As for KLove, why would he commit to the Cavs when LBJ has a 1-year contract? Yeah he's not gonna switch teams again but that's far from reassuring. If the Cavs situation doesn't work out for whatever reason he'll be stuck. On the other side Cleveland is giving up 8-9 years of control of Wiggins.

Risky for both sides...

KLove has the same contract as LBJ at this point. They can both opt out after next season or play another year on their contract. I imagine they will both do the same...play the 2nd year and then get huge long term offers from the Cavs (and other teams).

Let bledsoe walk.

If you guys thin 5 years and over 55mill is a deal for an unproven player who has issues playing a full season


Either S & T or QO.

If suns sign him for Max or Near max kiss the playoffs goodbye for the next 5 years

[Sunsdeuce]

@DragonflyJonez: Bledsoe wanting 80M is so ridiculous that I have no choice but to respect him for thinking so highly of himself.

Thats about right.

If Lebron leaves and they get "Dwight'd" by KLove...

How do we NOT put in a bid higher than the Lakers for Boozer? $3.25 mil.?! Even if you hate the guy that is an absolute steal for him. I would have offered him $6 mil.

honestly think somebody dropped the ball on both Boozer and Davis.

Davis definitely. Absolute steal.

[bwgood77]

As for Boozer, I think his skills would have fit the team well. I think in general though, the team tries to get talent that are eager to prove themselves and are very coachable, and I don't think Boozer fits that mold.

I wonder as time goes on, if Bledsoe will fit that mold either.

its kind of depressing that the Suns will probably not be as good as they were last year...

on the plus side, we are getting a couple new jerseys this season, so everyone should be happy about that.

LOS SUNS jerseys will no longer have sleeves, however, i believe they are purple instead of black.

we also are one of the teams getting CITY PRIDE jerseys. ours will feature the rising sun logo, and most likely be orange or black (speculation, but pretty obvious)

[Scubetrolis]

another jersey update: when are we getting our official black alternate?

last i heard teams were only allowed to have 2 new ones when throwing out new uniforms, which is obviously not true (as seen with the hornets)

I dont know, but you can be damn sure that if Lebron signed with us, we would be getting 10 new types of jerseys next season.

I don't know what the worry is.

Sarver is a dynasty builder.

Have you checked out the Mercury lately?

We are in good hands.

I mean, when people think you might even have the chance of turning out like brandon roy, you should just take whatever decent contract you are offered and run.
