Well if LeBron leaves, at least the Heat drafted Shabazz Napier to soften the blow.

Also..let's say Bosh goes to Houston, LeBron goes to Cleveland...could we see Wade go to Chicago? Riley would really be left with nothing down there. A ton of cap space, but who could he sign?

I'll play Devil's Advocate here... We play in the West which means the Clippers, Thunder, Spurs, Grizzlies, Rockets, Mavericks in April. Say what you want about some of those teams, but they're still tougher than just about every other Eastern Conference playoff team. That's reason enough to stay in...

I think they're blowing it. They're going after names instead of reloading with young talent that can play off of the stars. They need some swings to take the onus off of Wade and LeBron, but more than anything, they need bigs. Let's say they have 12mil to spend. Why go after Deng for 10 or Marvin W...

From Marc J Spears of Yahoo:

Suns & RFA Eric Bledsoe's agent Rich Paul in early stages of contract talks, a source said.Other suitors in limbo until LeBron & Melo decide

For all the talk about Morey's genius of acquiring assets through the draft and FA to use in trades for superstars, he hasn't done a whole lot with those assets. Sure he got Harden, but he signed Howard outright as a FA and now has to unload Lin to free up more capspace (which will most likely cost ...

Early 2015. They pushed it back from the fall.

Bucks are supposedly getting ready to offer Bledsoe a contract.

I can't wait for Better Call Saul.

I think it's a good article stating why he's worth keeping. Philosophically, I think there are fewer than 5 guys actually worth the max. All things being equal, I don't think he's worth the max, but for our franchise and future of the team, he's close. There are certain things, like his health histo...

Good article on why Bledsoe should be re-signed, even at the max: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2119937-why-phoenix-suns-have-to-do-whatever-it-takes-to-keep-eric-bledsoe Last season, Bledsoe was one of only eight players to average at least 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals...

LeBron?

4 years 23 mil? More like 6mil per.

I'm firmly of the belief that you don't need a top notch SF as your top player to be a contender. And I don't regard LeBron or Durant as SFs, per se. Those are transcendent talents. I think you need a SF to mostly shoot the 3 and defend. If they can handle and distribute, fine. But this is a guard's...

The Raptors traded Steve Novak to the Jazz to free up money for Grevis. Looks like the raps will re-sign him for 4.5 over 2-3 years.

I honestly think we're solid at positions 1-3 (assuming we re-sign Bledsoe). It'd basically the 4spot I'm most worried about, and the 5 spot if Len doesn't pan out. So all this talk of Hayward, Deng, Ariza is nonsense to me. Unless you're talking LeBron, I say there's no need to spend on a SF. I per...

Sounds like you're advocating signing a guy just to make a move because we have money to spend and because he's regarded as that next tier of FA so he's deserving of X amount of money. I'd rather not go that route. Just a difference of opinion. I, personally, don't think you're going to be a contend...

That's how teams get caught in bad contracts and handcuff themselves for the next 3 years. If you're a team with an owner that can pay, go for it. We're not one of those teams.

Giving Hayward more than 10mil is a waste.

Their team sucked last year, and (luckily) winning it last year merely masked how weak the supporting cast was.

No, I think 6mil is fair. Look, you always pay more for bigs and Patterson played a big role for the raps. He's their first big off their bench, rebounds well, shot the 3 at over 40% and can still play down low if needed. He's not even in his prime yet. I think that's a solid deal for them. That's w...
