Swannigan/Leonard/Napier/ future picks for Bledsoe. Does that get it done? Dame/Bledsoe CJ/Connaughton Harkless/Turner Vonleh/Collins Nurk/Davis I really like that. I think it clears up the logjam at the four and brings in a steady PG off the bench that ca n light it up with Pat.
Any reason for the Bulls to get involved? To...upgrade RoLo with Chandler or you still believe in Layman? And I don't understand why would the Suns be willing to get all this garbage unless a first round pick is involved.
Is there that much room for Napier though? I actually have seen a lot from him this season and would like to keep him also. Actually if we somehow lost our present PG, I would feel ok with Napier as a starter. Maybe it is the way that Connaughton has suddenly improved that makes me optimistic.
Nurkic Vonleh Connaughton Napier Davis All free agents at the end of the year. There's no way we're paying all of them. Vonleh, Davis, and Connaughton could all be looking at 8m per season, at the minimum. Napier should be cheaper, but looking at it from his perspective, a trade would be ideal. He needs to play. I'd be surprised if we DIDNT trade one or more of the above (except Nurk obviously) for someone still on their rookie scale contract. The Plumlee trade was a great example. He was playing his best ball when we traded him, so I wouldn't put too much stock into how well some of these guys are performing, it's about who Olshey/Paul are willing to pay.
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y7j2ghzw If Cleveland offered the BRK pick to us and we sent our 2018 first to PHX would you think of doing this trade? Dame / Bledsoe Turner / Connaughton Harkless / Aminu Love / Vonleh / Swanigan Nurkic / Davis / Leonard With a potential top 5ish pick in the 2018 draft.
Why do we want a toxic person like Eric Bledsoe on our team again? So he can piss and moan and demand a trade when we're not winning? Seriously, fuck this guy. He doesn't deserve the privilege of making millions playing basketball.
I'd say Olshey knows him as well as anyone so I'd leave that decision to him, I doubt we pursue him for a few reasons but who knows
Hold on.... so Bledsoe is toxic because he doesn't want to waste his prime on a team that isn't gonna make the playoffs for 5+ years?
He didn't complain when the Suns benched him so they could tank. Privately asked for a trade. I don't blame him at all for taking his career into his own hands. Respect is a two way street.
So, let's say you're at your place of work and they're giving people with less ability and less seniority than you more hours. Do you complain?
Bledsoe is toxic. You're taking a risk that he's not going to pout here, if you trade for him. He's shown he's the kind of guy who will be detrimental to his team. Radioactive.
How has he proven that exactly? Suns have a well known issue at the top, so it's kind of funny to see anyone siding with them here.
