Please, ive read all 80 pages, and there is only a handful that want to give up Thon.



As a Bucks fan, earlier in the week I was aboard the Monroe, DJ Wilson, 2018 1st train as the offer. Still believe that will end up being your best haul for Bledsoe.

As the week has progressed, I'd be fine with Thon + Telly if it came to that. Telly only has one more year left after this one.

I like everything about Maker except 4 D-Rebs per 36, even Bender and Chriss average 5.

I still think a first round pick would be a better asset if we are looking to flip for something more elite.

Reliable sources are saying Bledsoe has appointments for a pedicure and Brazilian wax this upcoming week.

I'm pretty confident the Bucks wouldn't include Brogdon.

So incoming Bledso tweets of "walking on sunshine" and "I feel pretty" on the way, CHECK.

An angle I'm sure someone has hit on at some point but basically Eric Bledso dogging it because of his agent and contract dispute (pissed at no extension) helped get his coach (who apparently he loves) fired. So Eric, your selfish bull actually hurt someone you love!

The hot streak by the Suns has really killed Bledsoe's value even further as they're winning despite not having him on the floor.

What does that say about him and his ability to lead a team?

Not necessarily. It coincided with a head coaching change too. Bledsoe's absence is a part of our winning ways but I think dropping Watson in favor of a proper head coach is probably the most significant factor. Let's keep in mind that everyone sucked under Watson, not just Bledsoe.

I think Bledsoe's ability to lead has been questioned for some time. He's not a very vocal leader on the court and him becoming the man on this team coincided with us being devoid of developed talent at the same time leading to a poor record. At 28 and in his development and athletic prime, I think teams will value that more than anything.

Now, what is this nonsense about Eric Bledso wanting out? I have just woken up exited my cave and realized we fired our coach..whaaaaaaaaaat?!?! And we are 4 and 1 since with better defense, ball movement, energy and great guard play, is Eric Bledso not our catalyst for such RENEWED leadership and style?!?! Apparently there is some journeyman scrub mykee Jamison (I don't know who he is or how to spell his name) and the suns want him to play minutes for the team.. whaaaaaaaaaaat?!?! SORRY I WAS BORED AND YES I'M KIDDING! (Don't know how to do green font)

Wonder if McD still feels like this when he was singing Bledsoe praises to bash Dragic.

I dunno, but that was directed at the people in here who think Bledsoe is better than Booker

So I have so much frustration as a former Phoenix Suns fan circa the early 90's with Barkley, Majerle, Johnson, Green, Ceballos etc.. The way this franchise has treated Bledsoe is ridiculous. Somebody explain to me the shutdown last year? How was that even allowable? And now, the guy clearly doesnt want to be here and your "owner" and GM basically told him to go away and are blackballing him, holding out for some pie in the sky trade you think your going to get here. I hope the league steps in and punishes this team and owner.
As a former fan of the Phoenix Suns and fan of the NBA, this is insulting. This is a rant post and surly one of your mods will delete this post/suspend me/ban me or whatever. Perhaps some of you agree. I get the youth movement in Phoenix and I understand that he doesnt fit that. But give the man his wish and trade him. I'm sure your overlords have gotten fair enough offers.

You know nothing. He is not being black balled. He does not want to play here. He has made no complaints to the players association. He has not complained to anyone that he is not playing. They will trade him as soon as they get a reasonable offer. It is not the owners responsibility to trade a player immediately whenever he asks.

You just want to trade all your Milwaukee crap for a great player. Go back to your beer.

Your personal “insults” at this are idiotic.

Quit coming in here and making accusations about something you know nothing about. Glad you are a former Suns fan.

Fair bit of self interest there.

Just trade Bledsoe (because it means we can get him cheap).

Would you post the same thing on the NY, Cleveland, Philadelphia forum regarding their want-a-ways?

Your team has one great player who desperately needs help. You have one quality role player in Brogdon and then a bunch of raw rookies, extremely overpaid role players, or players injured so much you cannot depend upon them. Your team is playing poorly and you want the Suns mgmt to feel sowwy for you and fix your problem.

Funny thing is, i was giving Eric tons of props after the draft, for remaining so professional in the midst of all the changes, trade rumors and he didnt even seem to really complain while riding pine towards the end of what was shaping to be his must productive season of his career.

Appearenly, when he was riding pine towards the end of the season, he asked face to face, man to man, if they could move him based on the direction the Suns were going. What happen from there seems to have a few different versions. I think an accurate version, which we will probably never know, would probably be necessary for anyone attempting/needing to villianize someone.

Not even sure why we most of always have a need to villianize.

I do wish, for both parties, we'd figure this out already.....but again, with out knowing what suns are being offered, we cant really villianize them.

That GM has to go. I'd consider trading Bledsoe for a bag of chips if the Suns could throw in the GM with any trade. They allowed Bledsoe to test the open market after trading for Isiah Thomas. Bledsoe got no decent offers but the GM signed him to a big contract anyways while still having four other point guards. I was a Suns fan since the 70's but I can't root for this owner or GM anymore.

NOt sure the point of this post. Bledsoe clearly was the best player on this team for quite a while, but Booker has grown. The present situation does not change the past.

This MGM is not perfect, but he is WAY better than what we had before him. And he is not nearly as bad as national media make him out to be. I am fine with McD.

Remember the previous guy? The one who traded Dragic AND a first round pick to Houston for Aaron Brooks? I feel bad for you. This owner is going to be around a while, and hope the GM is going be around too.

Return to Phoenix Suns
