Season Speculation, Trade Ideas & Discussion Pt. 1

[Mulhollanddrive]

New coach and no.1 pick is the best outcome to win a championship in 3 years.

We're on track.

This is just a really bad look for McD no matter the circumstances surrounding this. You can certainly criticise Bledsoe for making it public but this is more a reflection on McD than it is on Bledsoe imo. The two best players we had in the last 3 seasons (Bledsoe, Dragic) both wanted out and made it public. I'm sure Bledsoe had made his feelings known to McD in private as did Dragic but whereas Dragic held his tongue until close to the trade deadline, it took Bledsoe 3 games. That's just not a good look for our front office and a team which have caused its star players to publicly want out is not going to be one which many FA's would want to be involved with.

It's both sad and ironic that McD's grand plan since the beginning was to trade for disgruntled stars from other teams, only for him to trade away disgruntled stars from his own team

I don't know about that one, Dragic was frustrated with his role, Bledsoe seems like he could very well be reacting to the Watson firing. Also, it seems like this is becoming a trend, I look at Paul George and Kyrie and both of those guys went to the media if I recall correctly.

But you are right, McD does not have a good track record, and this will only make it worse. He is his own worst enemy, but i'm glad Bledsoe forced his hand to make this move now. He was not our point guard of the future and much as McD wanted him to be.

If we were to take Gambo's version of events in which Bledsoe had made it known to McD that he wanted out then that combined with a horrific start to the season could easily be the cause of the frustration leading to the tweet.

As I said, regardless of the fine details around this particular airing of dirty laundries, it's not a good look for McD. And while it's very early, I do have a little bit of concern about not just Booker's view on his future with the Suns but also his engagement with this franchise. With Bledsoe on his way out, Booker is the undisputed best player on this team and I hope we can recover from this not just so Booker can see we're on the right track from top to bottom but also so that other FA's and stars see we do have a solid foundation for the future and it is a team worth joining.

This next coaching hire will probably determine that, if we can't bring in somebody who can reign in this ship then it will only be a matter of time before Booker becomes disgruntled as well. Not to mention Jackson who seems to be a bigger head case.

Would anyone besides Dragic be opposed to trading Bledsoe for Dragic?
