His defense isn't too bad now, has always been a good passer and I do like his size at his position. Few seasons ago with LA, he averaged an 8.8 assists in 29mpg with AST:TO ratio of 3:1. Those are close to elite numbers.

We are shallow in the PG position? That's news to me. Lol

Really? You haven't been paying attention then

Bledsoe is a fine starting PG and then we have Ulis who's yet to prove himself throughout a season. After that we have no one.

Mike James is a scoring guard 95% of the time. Knight is out for the whole season AFAIK.

Call me crazyman, but Booker could/should be our PG of the future.

This is the line up I want to see eventually.... Book, Jackson, Warren, A real PF (Bender ?), a real C (Len?) ....
If Jackson can D-up most PGs, then it seems like it should work.

Big If, I know.

Booker/Jackson/Warren/Chriss/Drummond

While I like all of those players that would be one of the worst shooting lineups in NBA history. Not a single shooter on the floor outside of Booker and while he may be great one day he isnt there yet.

Ulis > Marshall

There's a difference between paying players what they're worth individually and building an NBA championship roster.

Harris may be worth $18-21m but it means he has to be the 3rd best player on a championship team.

Ultimately Jokic and Harris will take up $55m of cap allowing room for 1 max player addition.

I think that we are really strong at the PG position. Bledsoe, Ulis and Mike James are good enough to handle the position.

Someone with the crazy shooting as Ryan Anderson / Kevin Love could make that lineup work...but we don't have that type of players.

Phoenix has also had interest in trading Eric Bledsoe as they rebuild around Devin Booker.

The Suns are below the salary floor and feel no sense of urgency to trade any of their veterans that don't match their anticipated timeline of contention.

Bledsoe/Chandler/Miami pick for Thomas/Shumpert/Frye/Brooklyn pick?

Every Suns fan would do that but we make out like bandits in that deal. I'm not sure EB is a better player than IT when both are healthy.

The Suns will surely listen if and when suitors call for Eric Bledsoe.

They've explored the possibility of moving off Jared Dudley and Tyson Chandler, sources say, though they likely feel no urgency to dump them; Phoenix remains just under the salary floor.

I wouldn't read too much into that. Of course they would be willing to move their vets but as lowe said I dont think there's any urgency to do something.

I am OK with trading Chandler, but at the same time I think we need a decent C like him on the roster because Williams is injured.

I want to be competitive this season, so I would no be happy trading Chandler for just a second round pick or something like that.

Not sure about him. Good in the post, but he is a TERRIBLE defender.

The only reason we can even consider it is Big Sauce's injury.

Jahlil would have to earn his minutes with us, too. Man oh man. Might as well put a "for S&T" sign on Alex in that case.
