If he played for the Suns we'd definitely be saying he's the next AD and he'd be 200% untouchable. Truth is he had his moments as a rookie and held his own athletically at 19 years old. If there was a re-draft he'd go top-3.

A lot of circle jerking on this forum over Giannis Antetokounmpo. The biggest thing he's done in the NBA is grow 2 inches.

Bledsoe would go top 3 in that draft too.

So you mean re-draft of last year's draft, which Giannis wasn't in? That's not really what a re-draft means, but fine, Giannis doesn't come anywhere close to top 3 in this most recent draft either.

IT wants to be here.

Dragic wants to be here.

Looks like the Morris twins also want to be here. Let's reward them with extensions. Now may be the time to sign both of them to long term deals and even include a "no trade" clause if we can get them for last years market value. Kieff won't regress and he may very well improve. Marcus should be cheap and is valuable off the deep bench. Like his brother, I can only see him continuing to improve.

All 4 of the above guys seem to be people I would want to have a beer with at happy hour. Bledsoe would be the guy that shows up to happy hour, valets his Ferrari and doesn't tip, judges his company, rolls his eyes when others speak, and only talks about himself.

That would be a smart deal to have the twins sign at a bit lower price if we put a trade clause where if traded, they have to be traded together.

Let's see what Kieff does with the responsibility of starting for a full season.

I agree. We did too much to change the culture here to screw it up with Bledsoe. I'm quickly not wanting him on my team even for 12 mil

If Bledsoe comes back and both sides put this behind them realizing its just business I would be more then happy to have him back. I doubt he's gonna act like a bitch once that contract is signed.

I got a boner on that Davis block.

Thanks for posting that. If you pause the Frye save against the the Sixers at 1:47, I can see my wife and I just a couple of rows above Frye's head. I'm wearing a purple Suns shirt right next to the guy wearing orange. :D Those were the best seats I've ever had at a Suns game in my life.

I also noticed I am the only one clapping during the Plumlee block. Too bad I couldn't zoom in, I would love to see the look on my face, or the people around me, thinking I'm way too loud. :wink:

I understand this is a business but did the players forget that without the fans this league wouldn't even exist? I was seriously considering buying a Bledsoe jersey this year but this whole situation made me change my mind. Who knows hopefully this gets resolved and he plays great and the fans love him again by mid-season but he didn't do himself any favors this off season and alienating the fan base that gave him his shot wasn't the best idea marketing wise.

Didn't the Rockets already signed Zoran Dragic?

This is funny...this is the SUNS PR department in full swing here. Notice how many of those plays they included Bledsoe in? They are trying to show him they appreciate him. I can think of several plays that would easily be better than many of the plays shown that would not have included Bledsoe. Goran to Plumlee reverse dunk alley-oop. Plumlee chase-down block on Boogie... They want to be sure that Bledsoe sees that package though. Goran was also only highlighted in one of those Top 10 plays. That's pretty comical. Still, if it works, it will be worth it, i suppose.
