You'd have to bowl over Phoenix with a sign-and-trade offer, something that most teams aren't equipped to do. The Bucks have talent, but they can't afford to send it out to get Bledsoe, even as bad as they were last year; it would rake the cupboard dry except for Parker.

Wow. He's "decent" at being "fodder." High praise.

I could name 10 free agent big men is rather have at the minimum. Gustavo Ayon, Udoh, Dante Cunningham, etc.

I once played pickup ball with Shavlik in Central Park.

This might be a ploy by he and his agent to get him out of here. So long Eric. It was nice renting you for half a season.

I'm fine with starting Green and running out Archie and IT2. We're not challenging for the WCF or anything, lets let guys that want to be here some run so they can improve.

If it is Milwaukee A deal invilving picks and Henson is something I definitely would be interested in

Shabazz wrote:He's just a useless player and we legitimately need one more big man that can rebound and defend. Shavlik does nothing well. The best thing about him is that he doesn't make many mistakes.

The Suns retain refusal rights to match competing offer sheets, which now seem inevitable.

Milwaukee and Houston are also reportedly eager to have an audience with the 24-year-old Bledsoe, who played 43 games last season while fighting a knee injury that required surgery and averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.

The Rockets traded point guard Jeremy Lin to the Los Angeles Lakers with the expectation of signing free agent Chris Bosh, who re-signed with the Miami Heat. Houston couldn't compete with the Bucks to offer a full max deal without a sign-and-trade agreement with Phoenix.
