Paraphrasing... Sarver said that there was a long four-month stalement between the two sides. When they finally met back up, they negotiated a contract fairly quickly. Sarver said there were two things he asked Bledsoe about first thing:
1. First, the Suns coaching/training staff compiled a list of things for Bledsoe to work on over the summer. Sarver asked Bledsoe if he remembered the list and if he actually worked on any of it. Bledsoe recited the list almost verbatim and had worked on all of it.
2. Second, Sarver told Bledsoe to lift up his shirt. Bledsoe went into the summer overweight, if you can believe that. Sarver said Bledsoe lifted his shirt and his midsection was absolutely shredded. It was clear that Bled had trained his ass off.
I know, I know, I know it's early, but does anyone else think we could be contenders... this year? I mean, we have a game won against the world champs (it's early, we all know). The Cavs and the Bulls don't look as dominant as anticipated (and the Cavs bench is not good). We're ahead of the Thunder at this point, yeah? Really, the team I'm most worried about right now is the Clippers.
... I predicted we would win the season series against the Spurs. A lot of other things I've predicted are looking pretty good now. Notice I made no predictions about Alex whatsoever, though. Didn't call that one! Related: I didn't see the preseason game against Utah.
