Eric Bledsoe [RFA]

[INFORMER]

If Bledsoe ends up coming back, he's going to have to do some serious PR to win back Suns fans (or maybe just play well).

Why?! What does he care about Suns fans?

[Dan H]

On the bright side if we do end up losing Bledsoe, that opens up time for Goodwin to develop.

From Kerrsed at RealGM

From what i have been told by an unnamed source, we called the Wolves about a Bledsoe S&T. The media is jumping on that and injecting that it was a last ditch effort for Love, but we know that ship has sailed and we know that the Wolves like Bledsoe over Wiggins, so we are attacking the Bledsoe issue from that angle. Us keeping Bledsoe on a max deal is a no go. Bledsoe surprising everyone and taking the QO and walking in FA is a no go for us again. If we could somehow turn This sh*tty situation into us getting Wiggins then that is a big win for our FO.

[DrSublime]

if they move Bledsoe for Wiggins i will re-name my account Ryan McGod

[djy2j]

From what I've read it's not about us getting Love it's us trying to be the 3rd/4th team. We're going after Wiggins and LeVine.

[Gladiator]

If we end up with Wiggins, that would be an astonishingly good turn of events. I can't see it happening, but would be more than happy to be proved wrong

[djy2j]

I know LeVine is young and has poential but I'd rather have Green right now. He has been included in all the scenarios that I saw

[Wally_West]

If Bledsoe does take the QO then I would trade him at the first opportunity I get, even if it is for peanuts. I wouldn't just let him walk for nothing.

[Kerrsed]

Yeah, i dont know if it will happen, but thats what we are trying for and the Wolves are intrigued with the idea. Ray-Ray (another RealGM poster with inside sources) has pretty much confirmed what my guy was telling me. Cleveland has no say in this what-so-ever as it doesnt affect their end of the trade, and the 76ers part of the trade will just end up being a separate trade for the Wolves.

Bledsoe/Green/1st for Wiggins/(LaVine or Bennett or Shabazz) is what we are going for.

In our FO's eye's, its better than giving into Bledsoe's Max money demands or keeping him on the QO and letting him walk for nothing in FA.

[virtual9mm]

Kerrsed, thanks for the heads-up. I've been monitoring RealGM as well for the insider info. Getting Wiggins and LaVine for Bledsoe + Green + picks seems too good to be true, though.

I'd be willing to blow both the LAL and MIN picks to make this happen.

[jkalldaway]

So jared Dudley and a 2nd for Andrew Wiggins...

[EDC]

If McD can turn an uninterested Bledsoe into Wiggins I will be very impressed. I won't be shocked though. It has been quiet but after last off season I now kinda expect something crazy to happen at any time.

McD hasn't been perfect but it is really nice not to be petrified of what the front office might do. Makes the off season a lot less stressful. Although that rumor about Houston and Dragic, even though it was far fetched, made me clench up a bit.

I bet even INF would crack a smile if this happened.

[TOO]

If McD and Co turn piss into wine by shipping out Bledsoe and getting Wiggins, I might just run the streets nude with a full on joy boner.

[INFORMER]

Crack a smile?! I'll freaking put a crown on McDonough's head myself.

With that said, I think this all ridiculous. No offense to Kerrsed or any of the so-called insiders, but this is all crap.

[INFORMER]

I'll say this: if it is at all possible, do whatever it takes. Take Kevin Martin. Take JJ Barea. Give them their pick back. Throw in the 29-pointer (especially if we can get LaVine).

Pretty much agree. I'd have no qualms eating those contracts if it locks up Wiggins for 8 years.

[Ring_Wanted]

I just can't believe that the Wolves would move Wiggins+ for Bledsoe at the max. If Flip did it he should be sent straight to the nearest mental hospital.

It may not be the max, just more money than we are willing to give and more years than other teams like Houston offered.

[virtual9mm]

I bet that the Wiggins rumor is what the Suns are proposing as a starting position. Let's see what comes out of it. I can see the deal getting done, with the Wolves taking more than a pound of flesh out of the Suns. But -- wouldn't this be exactly the kind of many-for-one trade upwards that the Suns have been trying to do?
