I hope there is no deal with the Lakers. I would still prefer to have Eric Bledsoe the player above all other options. That is why this is so frustrating.

The CBA is designed to do exactly what is going on with Bledsoe right now. It is intended to give drafting teams significant control over their players for 8 years or so. It would have been foolish for the Suns to NOT say they will match any offer, maybe even negligent. I hate dealing with people wh...

NO way. During the season. The Suns should have some consequence for paying him that deal knowing what he did. AND he should be suspended for the time he is in jail so he doesn't get paid.

You have to wonder how many times he did it without getting caught. I am serious. He should get jail time, no special celebrity treatment.

I agree. PJ should go to jail for this. 60 days at least.

Cap wrote:Taking the QO is extreme. If he prefers flexibility to security, I think he can get 2/24 with a PO after 1.

If I am the Suns, I refuse to do that. I would give him 3/36 with a po for a 4th but that's it. You have to maintain some continuity to build a team.

He has the most annoying voice I have ever heard!

No, the 5-year deal thing isn't being reported accurately. Bledsoe can resign for a 5-year deal now, and that does not take away the franchise player designation. That would have only happened if he had received a 5-year contract extension . I used to be able to keep up with the CBA stuff, but can'...

The thing about those 5-year deals is that it designates the player as like your "franchise player" or something, for the rest of his time with the Suns. Nobody else can get a 5-year deal ever until Bledsoe is no longer on the team. That's a pretty big deal. It'd be impossible to give Dra...

I believe the McD is going to be an NBA innovator and be the first one to develop a true farm system. With all those picks, if you can't move up, you have to find a way to develop them. Oops, sorry, Sam Presti beat him to it. I don't think anyone yet has drafted and stashed a first rounder. Not bef...

By the way. Would anyone be opposed to giving Eric 5/60? The Suns get the annual salary they want, Eric gets the number of years he wants. Everyone wins.

Don't know if much has been made about the Lakers getting Byron Scott. He is a good coach. Solid, experienced, successful.

At the same time, Giannis, IMO, is a championship cornerstone. You get him if you can (within a reasonable offer). And it's really now, when he's coming off averaging just 6 points on 41% shooting, or in 7 years. I do not think he is attainable. He shouldn't be. But the Bucks have been one of the w...

If you really want to get innovative. Let college players declare for the draft, get drafted, get paid rookie deals, but stay in college with the team's permission. The NCAA ought to approve something like this. It would keep some good players in school longer and take the pressure off of the colleg...

He has an young Amare-esque "can't take your eyes off of him" type of play.

http://www.spotrac.com/draft-tracker/nba/ It's interesting that we have signed Warren but not Ennis. Obviously we're trading him for Love. Here is what I think is happening. The Suns are now in an exclusive partner relationship with Bakersfield of the D-league. I think they are trying to get Ennis ...

unless you are willing to move the twins/Len in another trade. I most certainly am. I am in shock hehehe. I also agree with your next post. Len still has my patience, and the twins are not in my personal trading block at all after their performance last season, but if you want to improve through tr...

I do not think he is attainable.

It seems to me that if defenses focus on three point shots and point blank shots that there should be some value in the mid-range game. I think this next Suns team is going to keep teams on their toes. It might be more valuable for Eric and Goran to improve their three point shooting along with Kee...
