Why would Bledoe's agent hype interest in Bledsoe when he represents LeBron, who's coming here, and both Bron and Bledsoe know it. Just letting the chips fall where they may.

Nothing, neither will get a real offer because they'll be matched ASAP.

Maybe he already got him the contract he wanted (The Max) on the city he was looking for (Phoenix).

That short-lived picture on Bledsoe's Twitter was loud and clear, only went unnoticed because Lebron is still out there.

Is this a trick question?

I was thinking the same thing unless We already have a deal in place and are just waiting to announce it.

Kind of weird that Kyle Lowry was pounced on and Bledsoe hasn't been linked to anyone...
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

They can push all they want. I hope they get air.

I thought this was funny:

Why is the story reported, "Pacers trying to get Dragic," as opposed to, "Suns, once amused by prank phone calls, now have changed number" ?

Wasn't Zach Lowe the one who wrote about LeBron to Phoenix?

I am starting to think this whole Indy thing is to keep options open for McDonough just in case LeBron wants Rondo when the Suns make their pitch to him.

Tell his majesty we'll deal for Napier.

Dragic showed uncommon loyalty coming back here and developed himself into an All-NBA player for us - we need to show him the same kind of love.

Dragic stays.

McDonough's job is to turn the team into a sustainable Championship team, I guess he'll do what he thinks is best to make that happen.

Did Dragic get a better offer elsewhere during his first FA? Serious question, I dont see why him returning is loyal. We gave him a fair bit of money for a guy who hadn't earned it yet.

I would think LeBron would prefer Dragic to Rondo or even Bledsoe given his skill set.

To what end though? Do you alienate a fan favorite in the process? I'm not sure I'd like that.
