The thinking could be, if we get LeBron he becomes our 2nd ballhandler off of Bledsoe and we can get a more traditional 2 that can spot up (like a Morrow). Plus, we know we won't be able to give Dragic a competitive contract next year if we give LeBron the max and maybe add a 2nd superstar for the m...

What's bumpy? Bledsoe tells us he doesn't want to be here? We can still match or sign and trade him.

Frye probably won't have as good a year playing on a worse team.

If Markieff becomes the starting stretch 4, we should add a Jordan HIll/Ed Davis for defense and athleticism, or even a versatile James Johnson type.

4 years 32mil. Sad to see him go, but glad we didn't give him 8mil a year.

Money aside, that's a real good signing for the Magic. They desperately need the shooting and he can be a real positive veteran influence on a young team.

Best of luck down there.

They like McRoberts in the high post so LeBron and Wade can work down low. You don't need a bruising low post scorer. But they still need some size and defense up front.

Heat signed Granger too. Remains to be seen if he has anything left in the tank or if he'll be on the same program Wade was on the entire season. I think he's shot.

Mavericks are supposedly preparing an offer sheet to Chandler Parsons.

Why is Bosh still considered a max player? Houston's offering 96mil over 4 years. Really? Is he the one that's going to get them over the hump?

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.
