Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
So do we sign or trade or just let him go?

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
Has to be a sign and trade, they are way over the cap.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
Yep, they would have to dump several players.
Their team payroll is $70 million, the cap is at $63 million. And they're not going to be able to shed $22 million.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
Thank you, Timberwolves. This might get resolved soon.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
Windhorst reporting the same:

Wolves have a few pieces I'd be happy to take. The issue is a few of them can't be traded as part of a package for a little while.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
I'll be happy to have this resolved. If we get anything decent it is a win. Bledsoe, get ready to get booed in Phoenix this season.

What's to stop the Suns from matching? Or are we already beyond that?

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
If they agree to a sign & trade with Minnesota they can't back out on the agreement per NBA rules.
If there's no sign & trade agreement there's no way Minnesota can make a max offer unless they shed about $20 million in salaries without taking back anything in return.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
I think because it's a sign and trade offer, that the Suns either accept or not. I imagine that the Suns are a little tired of this, but I hope that they have more patience and foresight than Suns fans like myself, who is ready to get nearly anything and move on.

How about a S&T where we get LaVine and Pekovic? I don't think there's a chance we get Wiggins.

I hope that they don't ask for Pekovic.

Re: Eric Bledsoe [RFA]
Oh, yeah. Also get the protection removed from the Minny first rounder.
