INFORMER wrote:Nah. My plan to do that is completely different. I emailed Adam Silver (CCed Sarver) about starting an expansion team called the Scottsdale Shine that would have a core of Eric "Show-Me-The-Money" Bledsoe on an uber-max, franchise-designated deal, Crunchtime Tyler, the Ukranian Giraffe, the 29-pointer, Bogdan the Lesser, and Twin Power. They would be coached by Lindsey Hunter and the GM/owner would be Rich Paul.
I am SO there.

I've thought about that too, although I'm sure they'd much rather do a bledsoe-gordon swap. Which honestly i'd risk if Bledsoe is really gonna take the QO. Only two years left on Gordon's deal.

If scenarios like these were an option I'd rather call Atlanta.

For Millsap? I'd be ok with that, although he kinda makes the Twins redundant. He's like both of them morphed into one player. Which means we could get rid of them, not sure what kind of value they have around the league, but i'm sure we could get something decent.

Not really. Millsap makes a ton of sense roster wise but his contract status not so much as an expiring contract. Besides, if you are the Hawks you want to pair Bledsoe with Horford-Millsap-Korver. It's Teague and Payne what I'd inquire about.

An ideal partner would be Orlando if they were interested. They just drafted Payton though and I'm not sure they are in a rush to be good. But they are loaded with young talent. Nicholson, harris, harkless, gordon, payton. I'd take any combination of those guys.

Yeah, Orlando made a terrific trade partner before the draft but with Payton and after having passed on Exum-Smart, probably not anymore. Tobias Harris would have been my target in that case.

Always tweeting and instagramming about hanging out with players from other NBA teams. Has he even spoken to any of his Suns teammates since the end of the season?

No way to know but I feel it's an extraordinarily safe bet that he hasn't.
Go Suns!

That's what Monroe threatened a while ago and as far as I know, he still hasn't signed it.

Break bread? Break F*cking Bread!?!

Excuse me, but $48 million can feed a lot of mouths.

The Cavs de facto GM should make an offer for Bledsoe if he's interested in how much Bledsoe is being offered by the Suns.

"Phoenix break bread"

Ha. So, does this mean he really WANTS to be in Phoenix? That was Bron's tweet, not Bledsoe.

Funny. This makes me think he actually will sign here eventually.

How is that not tampering for Lebron to post something like that?

If you pay him $84 Million he wants to be here. Otherwise, he wants to be somewhere else that will pay him the max. It's all about the Benjamins.

Maybe Bledsoe should think about "breaking bread"?
