Eric Bledsoe agrees to 5 year, 70 Million Contract Extension

[Wally_West]

I thought it deserve its own thread.

The deal will include no player options, and the $70 million will be fully guaranteed, a source said.

I like Bledsoe, but I'm wondering why we basically bid against ourselves. I could have seen throwing in an extra year or upping it an extra million a year as just a way to let Bledsoe save face a bit, but don't really get why we gave in so much. We could have done this much earlier.

Maybe Bledsoe and his agent are promising us LeBron in 2 years...

Not really. Reportedly, Bledsoe and his agent wouldn't come off their max contract demand and weren't willing to even talk.

[Gladiator]

Don't love the deal at all - it's a year and some $s more than I'd be comfortable with. Surely it means a trade is going to happen some time reasonably soon, given all the guards was have on the roster.

How's it structured? Flat, front-loaded?

The signatures in this thread make me sad

Should have let him take his god damned QO and let him walk the fuck away. No way should this fuck get rewarded with SHIT. But no one has principals anymore, no integrity.

No one should be rewarded for greediness and a bad attitude. We just screwed ourselves for the future, disrespected Dragic and reinforced to the entire rest of the locker room that this type of behavior is okay, and that all their hard work and chemistry doesn't matter.

I hope he blow his fucking knee out.

Which reminds me I have to change Bye, Eric to Hi, Eric or... something.

That's a piece of shit attitude to have towards the organization and the person. Sure, blow your knee out Eric. That only hurts us in the short and long term. Let's hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed.

Your lips, OGW's ears. We'll know whom to hold responsible.

mcdo/sarver buckled.

[SDC]

bledsoe, dragic, IT, ennis.

[Xylus]

Put me in the optimist camp, because I'm a big fan of our backcourt. I can't wait to see the three-headed monster in action this year.

mcdo/sarver buckled.

Both sides buckled, that's what negotiations are for.

[Danimal]

So who's up for another 100 pages on how he is overpaid? Looks like Ennis will be spending plenty of time in the D League. There is a part of me that thinks he is overpaid, but another part is so deprived of nba that I just want to see how the 3pg rotation with IT goes. Man we have so many guards.
