Bledsoe wants out!

[Superbone]

She spews a lot of misinformation. We didn't draft Bledsoe. I'll tell you one thing. Even though it seemed like a steal at the time, I wish we never would have traded Dudley for him.

[carey]

I think Rich Paul is in way over his head. Bledsoe won't get a max from anyone in 2 years. He could only get KCP a 1-year deal. Once LeBron signs his last big deal Paul will be done as an agent.

If Denver were a playoff team, the pick would be much less attractive. I'm sure that the Suns would be able to flip Faried.

Teams like Utah, Memphis, and Portland are playing better than I thought, so it's still possible Denver misses the playoffs. But a Bledsoe/Harris/Chandler/Millsap/Jokic lineup should be a playoff team.

Hope so, this might be our best deal.

I was listening to Le Batard's podcast today & he said his source claims Bledsoe really was at a salon. However, he also thinks this is all orchestrated by LeBron to get him to Cleveland.

The 27-year-old point guard had met with Suns owner Robert Sarver and McDonough during the preseason and requested a trade, sources told ESPN. Frustrated with the direction of the team, its whiffs in free agency and questionable personnel moves during his four years with the franchise, Bledsoe expressed that it was time he moved on, sources said. Bledsoe was then told by management, according to sources, that the team had underperformed ever since he was given starting point guard responsibilities.

Pretty savage. Its true though.

Holy shit. So maybe Sarver's biggest problem is that he's honest? I mean... I've never met an honest banker. Still, that would stick out like a sore thumb when dealing with athletes.

[Ring_Wanted]

Meh. Who cares. Things were poisoned ever since Bledsoe's current contract 'negotiations'. It's been time to make a trade since last deadline.

[ShelC]

I wonder what other info will be leaked. This stuff is coming from Bledsoe/Paul, most likely as a means to try and force McD to make a move. I'd expect more of these negative reports about the org the longer this drags out.

Sounds like we're going after the right people

[carey]

Oh man. Le Batard did another whole segment on the Bledsoe situation today. He basically said McDonough is awful at his job because he takes everything personally. That Goran Dragic taught everyone how to get out of Phoenix. Go public with something negative about the franchise and McDonough lashes out. He said you can not operate as a GM like that. I'm not sure I agree. I do like that he responds in kind but maybe that is not always what is best for the franchise when trying to trade someone.

[ShelC]

He shouldn't be saying anything to anyone. He rarely speaks to the media, now he can't shut up.

McDonough or Bledsoe? Because McDonough has been on Burns & Gambo every Wednesday during basketball season for 4 years.

What he needs to do is trade the player before they go public

This.

Why is Bledsoe still here anyway? Last summer was obviously the time to ship him out.

For once, Barkley is on the FO's side, so that speak volumes about the general perception on this issue. Some of those articles calling out Suns' management on this issue, are so exagerated that makes me wonder if they are hired guns to save Bledsoe's face going forward. Not telling the FO is out of blame, but some claimings are really desproportionated.

Looks like it might be Brogdon coming back. That’s ok with me but I am concerned about his ankle.

[pagielak]

I would be OK with Brogdon, think he is better than Mudiay and might fit well with Book

He is a solid distributing pg that plays d and is a good 3 point shooter. He is really exactly what we need—potentially. But the ankle is a potential problem.
