Plumlee and Lopez? I like it. The MoBros, the PlumBros, and a Lopez. Could we re-acquire RoLo to complete the set? :mrgreen:
Not what I meant. Nets trade Lopez and keep Plumlee.

I'd rather not. I prefer Plumlee over Lopez. For one thing, Plumlee can stay on the floor.

Let me say this again. With Mason Plumlee improving on the Nets team, they may be interest in moving Brook Lopez. Good grief. with all the brothers in the league, things can get confusing. Miles is not part of what I was suggesting.

Meh. If he actually plays for the QO he is as good as gone. NY has max cap space in 2015...

Suns make last second Bledsoe for Love pitch.

Why the wolves would even consider a maxed Bledsoe over wiggins and bennet and young I haven't any idea.

Bledsoe has made it clear he is seeking a five-year, $85 million maximum contract from the Suns. He would only consider a max deal in a sign-and-trade, which would be four years and $64 million, with any other team, sources said.
This is what i holding up S&T scnerios I think. He refuses to sign elsewhere unless its for a max deal.

WOW.

Eric Bledsoe is a turd. I have nothing else to say about this kid.

Of course, if nobody else is willing to give him max either, that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve max, it just means the Suns have undermined his value.

Was thinking we had the next coming of KJ and Hornacek in the backcourt. Too bad Bledsoe is such a misguided fool.

This is getting old, real fast.
I hope something can be done very soon as the guy is doing my head in now.
No, your not worth the max, accept it and move on. Oh, you want to pout, fine, play somewhere else then!
I know it's not that easy but wow is it boring. Can't get excited about next year until all the pieces are in and Bled is clearly not one of them.

Aha! I finally get what you're saying. Just that he might be available.

Yep. Too bad he doesn't get what a good situation he is in and has made it solely about the money. No compromise with this kid. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I'm as big a Bledsoe fan as anyone, but he's a complete idiot if he takes that qualifying offer. To get a max offer next summer, two things need to happen:

1. He needs to raise his game to another level.
2. He needs to stay healthy.

I wouldn't bet on both occurring. Dude's not thinking straight.

With Isiah Thomas here now, it will make it less likely he is going to surpass last years totals.

I don't know what in the world he is thinking...Why risk losing so much to gain so little. The Suns aren't the siers, its not a team that's barren for talent.

If Bledsoe ends up coming back, he's going to have to do some serious PR to win back Suns fans (or maybe just play well). I agree with Coro - that this wouldn't have been the situation had he just indicated at some point last year that he's happy here and wants to return. Now he really seems like he cares about nothing but money.

If anything you could see his minutes and points going down this year with our backcourt depth, what's he going to do then, pout about getting rest on a loaded team?
