As a report surfaced that the Suns were planning to re-sign restricted free agent point guard Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe's path out of Phoenix became clearer — if not easier. Sporting News reported last week that the Suns had been shopping Bledsoe. But trading Bledsoe, according to league sources, will not prove to be easy for Phoenix. “There was a reason,” one general manager told SN, “that no one wanted to give him that ($70 million) contract last year. I think you still have to worry about his health. I think you worry about how coachable he is, too.” Bledsoe played 81 games last season, but has missed significant portions of two of his five NBA seasons. Bledsoe tore cartilage in his knee in late 2013, and had surgery to repair it shortly thereafter. He had surgery on the meniscus of the same knee in 2011. After an unexpectedly productive season in 2013-14, the Suns hit a major backslide last year, when a glut of guards — including Bledsoe, fellow starter Goran Dragic and free-agent signee Isaiah Thomas — created chemistry problems. Dragic and Thomas were both traded at last February’s trade deadline. - See more at: http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/sto...mento-kings-phoenix-suns?eadid=SOC/Twi/SNMain
