If we can make that trade with Minny, the internal struggle goes away and we get both prospects.

If we do this Minny trade, who do we take 5? Chriss and bender, or do we add hield.

Gambo saying Bled/PJ to Wolves for #5,Rubio,Pek being discussed as well. Legs to this perhaps? Feel like we should be givng another pick in this..maybe #13?

I think you then trade Knight for cash considerations and take Hield + Bender

Wow. Safe to say there wouldn't be many tears shed at Phx-Suns.net over the departure of Bledsoe and Tucker. That's a really nice haul. (Rubio, Peković, #5.) I think we'd all call it a good day, especially if it's also true that we're packaging 28 and 34 for Valentine.

Rubio, Pek, Chriss, Bender, Sabas/Skal, and Valentine? That's a good day, even if we don't like Chriss.
I'm awake, couldn't sleep because of the draft. What's the contract situation with Pek? Love this move really only because for the opening it creates for Warren. Bledsoe for Rubio I'm not so exited as you guys.

They're prob trying to take Bender and Chriss. I'd love to take Bender and Hield/Murray though. NO Chriss!

Jalen Rose and Jay Williams love Marques Chriss.

Makes me more worried about him...

I'm not sure what these red flags are everyone is talking about. He's a poor defensive rebounder and he fouls a lot. I wouldn't call those the worst kind of red flags.
He not just a poor defensive rebounder, he is one of the worst defensive rebounders in recent memory. Ultimately, the negatives just outweigh the positives for me in a big way for him.

Just for the record...I think Bledsoe is a better overall player then Rubio. But getting #5 and Pek too makes the deal tip in Phoenix's favor...pretty heavily IMO.

Adding P.J. is something thats minor IMO

Yeah, I'm not in any way excited to get rid of PJ. I am excited about having a pass-first PG again though.

Can they just get the first two picks out of the way in 10 seconds? Everybody already knows what they are.

Playing with Rubio has to be better for the development of the youngsters than playing with Bledsoe. That's what matters for us right now. Even if Bledsoe is the better overall player, Rubio is the better fit for our needs right now. Include Pek and the #5 pick, even in a weak draft, and this trade is a no-brainer.
