Stein: If Suns Reach Agreement With Knight, Bledsoe on Block

Yep. Yep and yep.

His greatest strengths are James' strengths and his weaknesses are the same. Bledsoe needs the ball to creat via the foul line or one one one and he's not even the passer James is.

Not a good fit.

 

Can any team that needs him even give enough assets to get him?

 

Depends on what the Suns would demand. A lot of teams out there already have a PG. So there are actually not that many ballclubs who'll be going hard after Bledsoe. I figure Phoenix needs frontcourt help. Would they go for a deal with T-Jones and Dekker as the centerpieces or would they hold out for D-Mo?

 

If you get Bledsoe, you don't need Llull or if you sign Llull, you trade him.

 

NEWS FLASH! When you obtain more than two Star Level Players, someone has to sacrifice their game for the betterment of the team, look at The Heat w/ LeBron, Wade and Bosh.

I look at both he and Harden being 25 and they can form a competitive back court for the next 7 to 8 yrs and Bledsoe has a contract that is locked in for the next 4 yrs. I like it.

 

The Kings, one source said, are expected to express interest in Bledsoe. While Sacramento has been buried in rumors involving center DeMarcus Cousins, a league executive said the Kings have been far more focused on improving the point guard position. The Kings started Darren Collison at the position, but would like to move him into a backup role. And if Sacramento keeps Cousins, bringing in his former Kentucky teammate and good friend surely would help to keep him happy.

They should send back gay collison and mclemore. And eat up mqrcus morris. And thats only if the suns believe mclemore still has star potential.

 

suns gm copying morey with the revolving door of pgs.

 

Morey don't let this happen!!

 

I'd give up DMo for Bledsoe without hesitation. Bring back Smith, then Smith/Jones/Dekker is more than capable as a PF rotation.

 

But if this happens lawson will be more available and cheaper.

 

That would also eliminate a landing team for Rondo.

 

It's capable. But when we need to go inside for a bucket, it's gonna get ugly. Remember how painful it was to see Dwight and Josh postup or go to the line in the playoffs?

 

Sure, but who else do they have? We've had McGrady, Yao, Harden and Howard. All they've had was an aging Steve Nash and Stoudemire.

 

Just curious, but - - who would comprise the list of serious suitors for Bled be? I'd think: Mavs, Knixies, 6ers?, Pistons (if Suns would take Jennings back), and ? Are any of these teams jumping for the good player Bledsoe?

 

If Suns trade Bledsoe, they'd want a Top10 player on either SG, SF or PF position since they are set at PG and C with Knight and Len, respectively.

However if they get two solid starters for positions in need, I'd say they probably do it. So Dmo+Ariza would probably do it, but I don't know if we could resign Brewer. Also shooting around Harden would disappear.

 

None of those teams are jumping on Bledsoe because they don't have the assets.

Well, the Sixers might but what are the Sixers doing? Are they ready to start building and winning? Want another year in the lottery [to take another big man, ha]? What are the Hinkies doing?

 

Doubt the 76'ers are going to jump the tank train for Bledsoe who's already 25 and has had injury problems. They've tanked too hard just for a consolation prize like that.

 

If you think Dwight will opt out next year, then you really aren't hurting the cap and giving yourself the flexibility to move in multiple directions.

 

Sam Hinkie is turning into the Matt Millen of basketball, all your wide receivers belong to us.
