Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

For what it's worth, some insider "news" from ClutchCity via RealGM. The guy is supposedly reliable: Rockets working on Bledsoe with a lot of competition. Morey doesn't want to give him more than 2 years at this point. He may have to cave. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=9193483&a...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

INF, TOO -- judging from the dribbles of information leaked via the RealGM board (which I consider semi-reliable at worst) -- I suspect that that current game plan is to force Bledsoe to sign for 12mm/year and to use him as a trading chip. Bledsoe at a mini-max contract is far from untradeable but w...

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

Click the link above. Sarver says he thinks the offer given to Bledsoe is fair etc. It's not so much that he is saying horrible things, more that he just shouldn't talk a lot about the situation in public. He only stands to make it worse. I think he was trying to publicly distance himself from Gamb...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

I'm just waiting for INF to update his signature to #mcdoOUT I would never disrespect sdc like that. In all seriousness though, I don't usually wish for a coach or GM to get canned unless I feel that he's doing more harm than good. And that's not McDonough. He's done a solid job, but, IMO, he's not...

Re: Fallout from the negative "Free Agency" thread drama

Without having taken the time to read through everything in detail, I can only suggest my thought that Mori has taken the proper course of action, assuming that he and the other mods vetted the entire exchange. Regarding Swingy -- we all love him and we also know that he's prone to an outburst every...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

I'm sorry v9mm, I totally forgot about your post. It was probably on my mind. I would rather that Markieff stayed, but it would probably take something like that. I just think that Kieff's best role would be off the bench instead of a starter. No worries In2 -- great minds think alike! Superbone --...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

What would you guys think of a three way trade with the principles of Irving, Love, Bledsoe being involved and other things inserted to even it out? I really don't know if that can even happen anymore after Irving signed his extension. Repost of something I posted a couple of days ago: I think that...

Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

I think that the rumor that the Suns are trying to get Love is absolutely real. As much as we hate to admit it, the "insiders" at RealGM in question have a long track record of leaking real info going back all the way to the Shaq trade. Also, the roster as constructed makes absolutely no s...

Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

All I can do at this point is to pray that McD knows what he is doing. After all the moves are made, possibly as late as the trade deadline, we can collectively decide whether to anoit McD and Babby the twin saints of the desert -- or make a huge apology to SDC, whose views admittedly seem out of al...

Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

I guess that people didn't get my point. McD would not trade Dragic unless he were trading FOR an even better player, especially since he'll maintain his level of play for the next few years. I do not buy the salary argument, since Bledsoe is also a tradeable asset in S&T. If you're so concerned...

Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

I would trust Ray Ray as indicating something real. That board has a long history of leaking Suns info. What could possibly make the Suns want to move Dragic? McD is no fool, so I would rule out a sign and trade with Miami. I also cannot see why the Suns would move Dragic if they got LeB except if t...

Re: SUNS 2014: Free Agency

Sounds like LAL is also flying in to make a pitch. Just a (heretical) thought if the Suns strike out on LeBron. I'm a huge fan of Dragic and believe that he DESERVES to stick around in Phoenix. That being said, if I were an instrumentalist motherfucka, I wonder if the Suns could do something like: (...

Re: Suns Draft Day 2014

I'm not qualified to grade the draft. All I know is what I see on DX or NBAdraft, and there's been studies showing that post-draft evaluations are quite off-the mark. The first real sign of player potential are the summer leagues, and that's more of a negative marker than anything else -- very few p...

Re: Suns News: The Offseason

The canonical doctrine is that draftand stash only is good if it is best player available. Could be the case with Nurkic, Porzingis or Saric (in case you like him, that's it) maybe Capela too. BPA is a relative concept, though. Personally I'll look at the result of this draft as a whole for the Sun...

I can't imagine that he's agreed to play this summer on a "shot" ankle. I wish that were the case, but things aren't that simple with ankles. You can blow two ligaments and still be functional as long as you have strong tendons, the ankle just becomes prone to sprains. And that's exactly ...

I'm fine with that, too. The Suns might actually get their 1st rounder -- and then the Suns also get a shot at Love with cap space.

Re: Phoenix Suns 2014: Offseason Moves

I'd be willing to put on the table the Morrii, two picks in 2014, one in 2015 and contract fillers. That's hardly half the team or all the draft assets, and worlds better than what you wrote. Must be that I actually want to acquire Love. That would be a reasonable offer for a re-signed Love. Too mu...
