The One And Only Offseason Thread 5: Dinnertime!

Trading on the QO is a bad option, because aside from the player having to accept it, you have to find a team desperate enough to give up assets to get him for less than one full season.

Talk about unprofessional. It's unfortunate.

Rich Paul is giving his client very, very poor advice.

Lies....Bledsoe was in Phoenix 3 or 4 weeks ago.

You talkin bout the salads?

Nope, this was before the salads, in July.

Bad news.

If Bledsoe negotiates for 7-8 million more over 4 years, he has absolutely no risk in signing.

Monroe has a fairly consistent performer and has missed a total of 19 games out of a possible 328 in his four seasons as an NBA pro.

What did the suns do that was so bad? They offered Bledsoe multimillion dollar deal. Guess that's so horrible. It's official, Bledsoe and Richie need to go.

How does Jude LaCava know anything about this relationship? Who is he getting his info from or is he just forming opinions based on what is in the press and social media? If this is personal - to is one sided.

Monroe is willing, believing the money will be there for him. Monroe will be one of the best big men available next summer and is expected to receive several offers. He received two max offers this offseason, but a sign-and-trade deal could not be reached, a person familiar with situation said.

Greg Monroe is not worth more than 9 mil a year. These players are insane.

JTrain · Post #368 » by **JTrain** » Wed Aug 13, 2014 12:32 am

If we raise it to 52, the situation goes from very high risk/low reward to very high risk/very low reward. Basically puts the QO to bed. Then we trade him.

If Bledsoe has a hint of self-awareness, the first day of training camp is going to be AWKWARD.

I'm confused because last week Gambo was pretty much mocking the reports that the relationship was on the rocks. What changed?

Its not the first time we've seen hyperbole from Gambadoro.

Post #374 » by **lilfishi22** » Wed Aug 13, 2014 12:45 am

Yeah, last I heard, Gambo refuted those reports.

You guys are so quick to knock on these sources we have.. Coro, Gambo, Traxxe are the best we have. We all want answers, I understand that but damn so ungrateful at times. Ask Bledsoe if you want answers.

Where's the knocking? I must be deaf.

there was a Dave King interview on NBA radio earlier this afternoon, but my lunch break was over and I wasn't in my car anymore to hear it. Anybody catch that?

Jdiddy701 · Post #379 » by **Jdiddy701** » Wed Aug 13, 2014 12:54 am

Just in general, especially Coro.

I wouldn't bother me much about Chris Broussard because that guy is piece of work, but we got some damn good resources here and wish they were appreciated more. Just my rant for the day..

Something to consider... I bet our offer is contingent on a physical which Bledsoe and his agent are reluctant to accept. Maybe they are buying time so that knee heals a little bit more to give him a clean bill of health? Risk, risk, risk... That knee may be a bigger issue than we are giving it credit.

What if he played injured at the tail end of the season so that we wouldn't require a physical???

Conspiracy theorists unite!

Pretty sure every contract is signed contingent upon passing a physical. You can't say no to it.
