Great to see signs of common sense.

It's no surprise that we are shopping Bled and/or Knight. They move point guards every year. And it makes sense that Bledsoe will go. He probably has more value Than Knight, he's older, and he has been here 3 full years. That's the longest tenure for a suns PG since Nash. Even Dragic was only here for 2.5 years at a time.

ONE OF Bled or Knight? Why not both? :D

Bled for #6, please. Bled for Noel? Really, any rotation player in the age range of the rest of our core will do.

I don't think we are trying to trade Bledsoe. Certainly not to select Dunn as it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You hope Dunn becomes Bledsoe at some point but it isn't a sure thing. It's possible that Dunn's shoulder is Bledsoe's knee redux. I also don't understand why we are targeting small forwards. We need to give Warren every opportunity to prove himself this year. We could have a 20ppg scorer on our team but we are burying him behind Tucker and may trade for a starter at his position? It's silly.
Go Suns!

As much as We all Want to move Bled, That would of been a very steep price to pay for Hayward. Bledsoe has value, although coming off an injury it may not be where it's capable of being, particularly put in a situation where he plays off the ball.

Like the fact that McDonaugh recognizes there needs to be a change. Was worried that he may be stubborn in trading Bled or Knight, because they were his two biggest acquisitions as GM.

Bledsoe or Knight to Sacramento makes way too much sense. We're talking about a Kings team that is going to lose Rondo and sees Collison recently arrested for a Domestic despute and can't get anybody to play there long term. I wonder of Little Sabonis is still on the board at 8 if we don't pull the trigger that deal.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Doug Franz is throwing out his wild prediction. 4, 28, 34 to the Kings for Cousins

Wolf is saying that the Suns will trade for Love.

Beyond that!!!

I know nothing and still wouldn't make such moronic predictions. The moment the Cavs won the title, our little hopes of trading with them became smoke. I'm pretty sure that Boston can put together a better Pick-centered package for Cousins. And we still keep #13, hilarious.

In their defense, even they don't think it will happen. It was just them throwing out a wild prediction. It would be like us playing darts blindfolded, spinning around and throwing the dart. If it hit the bullseye, brilliant! More likely you got your buddy in the leg.

Doug and Wolf are probably the worst sources of Suns and NBA new locally.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

Press conference to introduce the young guys. Starts at 1:30 local time (in like 5 minutes).

Lets hope they have fixed their damn audio issues. The last few years have been a joke when it comes to audio quality.
