Denver in: Bledsoe

I'm sure Denver would rather move Mudiay, but I have no interest in him.

This is probably why the basketball gods will give us the #3 pick.

I won't complain, since there are three prospects we really like (the aforementioned along with Jackson). I'm expecting the basketball gods to give us #4.

What the hell did Phoenix ever do to upset the basketball gods so grievously?

“I’m not obviously comparing Eric to Steve — that would be unfair to him when you’re talking about a two-time MVP and Hall of Famer — but he has improved a lot and if you look at guys who are in their 30s, around 30, like Chris Paul, like Mike Conley, those guys kind of keep getting better every year, and Eric looks like he’s on that path.

“We never say never, we never put anybody totally off limits, but I think it’s very unlikely we trade Eric and more likely we try to add guys in that age range, from 19 to 27, to play with Eric and Devin Booker.”

So freaking delusional. Ryan kills me.

I can see Houston ripping McD off in a potential Bledsoe trade similar to IT.

Bledsoe/Harden would actually make an excellent pairing

No way. Ryan would probably demand 8 first round picks and a superstar for Bledsoe. They're joined at the hip. He is Ryan's sun, moon, and stars.

INF gets it. Bledsoe will forever be his golden goose.

That's on McDonough that he put all his fortunes on Bledsoe. As Bledsoe goes, so goes McDonough. How many more years are we going to accept being out of the playoffs?

But his philosophy of family he preaches should trump his boss telling him to undercut a guy for financial gain, right?

You're seriously asking me if he should go against his bosses wishes? You've worked for a company before where you wanted to keep your job, right?

If a boss asks me to do something to help him but it undercuts my team, I tell him/her no. I haven't had many bad bosses in my life, but I have had this happen a couple times, and both times I said no. Your philosophy in life is more important than what your boss wants (especially if it isn't good for your team).

That's good for you but all situations are not the same. I'm sure you can find another similar position if you need to. Head NBA coaching positions are much rarer and you may not get a second chance.
