I'm pretty ticked at both his and Okur's unprofessional behavior. They were both given huge opportunities with big salaries to play and coach basketball. It's pretty simple that if you don't perform you get canned. It's a business. Put your big boy pants on and move on.

Wha did Okur do?

I feel like we'll be defending whatever trade we end up making. I assume it'll be a very crappy return. Like the Mudiay, someone, first

I think he'll go to cavs. I know they have two big names point guards but they are both injured, one is small and a defensive liability, while the other is even more injury prone than Bledsoe. He's also Lebron's buddy with the same agent.

This can't be great for his value. Wonder if he is out the door today? Just collect best offers and make a decision.

I don’t see much value in Bled. He’s an injury prone rental, not really a PG, does not really man up on D, and w/Paul, is going to hold out for a boatload next year.

Some team is going to really have to want hin. I think the best we get is a bad contract and a late first... and maybe a youngster that isn’t panning out.

As mentioned, I wouldn’t play him again.

I am calling my shot for this trade - Cavs

Suns out: Bledsoe, Heat pick

Suns in: Shumpert, Frye, and the Nets pick

Cleveland cannot trade Calderon yet

McDealing is at it again.
Hopefully this will be quick (and good) enough for us.

Cleveland seems like a logical destination, although that Brooklyn pick is not likely top5 anymore the way they have been playing and the way the eastern conference is.

Aw ****, it's happening!

And getting Bledsoe pretty much seal their destiny with LeBron too.
Obviously they worked on it before (Rich, LeBron & Bled)... just waiting for something bad to happen (hey, Watson was fired, I dont want to be here anymore)

What a d*ck move. Literally minutes after it was reported he was sent home.

This is why I think Denver is probably the place we'll send him.

Mudiay, a filler, and a first.

That's the good thing about making it public. Same thing happened with Goran and everyone thought that hurt the chances, but when they know the Suns are likely to trade him quickly, and multiple teams want him, they won't mess around starting with low ball offers for too long.

They will likely put their best deals on the table fairly quickly or miss out.

I still don't expect as much as some might though, but this makes me expect more than I did before seeing it.

Good.

That's pretty crazy. I just hope we don't try to deal him for the sake of dealing him.
Seeing as the Nets no longer appear to be a bottom 3 team, maybe the Cavs do want to cash in before it loses more value.

I'd take that and help with cap relief for them by taking Shump or Frye (not sure what his contract looks like).

That said, I still can't see the Cavs giving up the pick for ANOTHER PG

Calderon would come back to the Suns. The Suns would need a veteran presence on the court.

Shumpert, Calderon, Frye and Heat pick for Bledsoe and the Nets pick

IF - the Cavs don't think Isiah will be healthy. They are moving Wade to the bench. Which is where they need Rose.

I think Cleveland is do-able and that Nets pick might be in play

IF the Cavs want Chandler - who would the Suns take back, TT or JR - guessing TT

I'll be pretty surprised if he ends up in Cleveland.

I would be okay with this move... still would prefer that Cavs /Nets pick

There's always the long shot that McD includes someone we didn't think he would, like a Chriss/Bender/Warren, and pulls off some crazy deal.

I mean...probably not, but one can hope.
