Eric Bledsoe

[RaisingArizona]

Bledsoe and Booker could be one of the best backcourts in the league.. Why isnt it working out??? I dont get it? I watch enough suns game to know y’all have talent and with Bledsoe only being 27 I wonder if yall should get a better coach and keep the talent on the team. I just dont see how the suns get value for Bledsoe this early in the season...but SAC and Brooklyn are still available to trade with so anything can happen.

He has motivational issues. Only engaged for big games--takes plays and games off.

Our FO makes me want to

Their incompetence is breathtaking. How many more players need to demand trades before they remove their heads out of their ass?

[sunskerr]

I wasnt in favour of trading him because I felt like he could still be on our team in his early 30s when we should be making the playoffs. But now he's requested a trade and of course the effort is visibly not there every game. So he should be traded.

It's just a bit disappointing. This is the 3rd point guard in as many years who has requested a trade. It's worrisome and indicative that our franchise may not be good at handling players. This is extremely bad for free agency.

Some of us Magic fans would also do this:

Bledsoe

for

Orlando's unprotected 1st in 2018, Mario Hezonja, DJ Augustin

No sorry you're literally the ONLY one that would trade an unprotected pick for Bledsoe

top 3 protected or something would make sense, but just look at that haul. Augustin and Hezonja are fringe players right now

Augustin, Biyombo, OKC 1st

Augustin, Biyombo, OKC 1st

What purpose do any of those have for a rebuilding team aside from the OKC pick? That is literally salary filler + a late 1st for a top 35 NBA player.

I think I can speak for the majority of Magic fans on this subject.

Most fans wouldn't mind Bledsoe here IF and only if it made sense trade wise (no overpayment).

Most fans want to PAIR Payton with Bledsoe so most are not willing to include Payton in any deal involving Bledsoe. Bledsoe at this stage of his career is simply not reliable and would want/need Payton for insurance purposes. Payton actually played best when he came off the bench with Orlando.

Realistic trades most Orlando fans are comfortable doing from most preferred to least.

Option 1
- DJ Augustine
- Mario Hezonja
- FRP (via OKC)

for

- Eric Bledsoe

Option 2
- Terrence Ross
- DJ Augustine
- Mario Hezonja

For

- Eric Bledsoe
- Jared Dudley

Option 3
- Elfrid Payton
- DJ Augustine
- SRP (via Brooklyn)

For

Eric Bledsoe

I prefer the first obviously and probably would add the Brooklyn SRP if that's what it took to complete the trade.

Finally. Too bad it took Eric firing up his twitter for a trade to actually get set in motion. He should have been gone at the ASG break last year. See ya.

Cleveland offers: Isaiah Thomas & Iman Shumpert to Phoenix for: Eric Bledsoe

Might be the best the Suns can do.

[RunDogGun]

Well a few teams have expressed interest in Bledsoe, it would be nice to get a good return for him.

[Mulhollanddrive]

Mike James chose a good time to play well.

It means we may be able to get the best deal for our future without having to compromise in fear of having no PGs and losing by 40 points again.

I don't think this is the best the Suns can do.

I also don't think IT wants to be back with the Suns

It would be quite ironic to get Thomas back in a deal. Honestly I’d like to see James get a shot running point for a bit. I just don’t see Cleveland as being a good trade partner for us.

Bledsoe for option to swap picks with Brooklyn (would be hard for both teams to not have a top 5 pick).

Yesterday at 2:30, long before Eric and McD talked, a poster at phx-Suns.net posted this:

Hey, maybe he was in a beauty salon with his wife when he made the tweet? I'd want outta there too!”

Now you tell me. Did Eric Bledsoe even come up with his lame excuse himself? ERIC BLEDSOE GOT HIS LAME EXCUSE FROM A FAN POST ON A MESSAGE BOARD!!!!!

Augustin, Biyombo, OKC 1st

that was a good one

Funny that he's still tweeting.

This is actually not a bad idea. Same with a trade with Philly for rights to swap with Lakers.
