Bill Simmons: Dragic and Bledsoe "don't look happy"

Of course it's just reading the tea leaves... But that is what they look like currently.

Not the start Phoenix hoped for in a brutal Western Conference.

The problem isn't so much the three point guards, it's that they are all so relatively similar. All are generally scorer first. None are amazing defenders. All are better with ball in their hands a lot.

Have to see how it plays out. Would be dumb of Phoenix to ultimately lose Dragic for nothing.

 

I just feel like none of them are passers and that's why they have a problem. Bledsoe is a top 3 defender at the PG position. When he's healthy, he's even better than Bev defensively. Dragic is a plus defender with score first mentality. Thomas is the only one that's brutally bad on defense, but his offense is excellent and should be a great 6th man type.

 

I will never understand what their GM was doing on the PG front.

 

Isaiah frequently plays more minutes than both of them and closed Sunday's game while Bledsoe & Gogi rode the bench. I drafted Bledsoe in fantasy and deeply regret it. :-/

 

Well at least phoenix is winning. But Thomas is indeed a good player. He should start over overpaid bledsoe and overrated dragic

 

first 5 games, dragic was not even looking for his shot, just standing around. he looked like lowry did when he would play next to him.
2 pgs can't coexist at the same time. I didn't want to believe that in 2011, when some poster said that to me but it's true.

 

Signing a 20ppg scorer to a 6 million dollar a year contract. If it doesn't work out they can trade him for something in return. It was a pretty good use of their cap space IMO.

 

kings playing better and suns playing worse -- what's the connection?

 

My ideal scenario for us is Phoenix and Atlanta to struggling and they are sitting in February with limited hope of making the playoffs and two expiring contracts in Dragic and Millsap.

 

Did they say anything about Houston on the podcast?

 

come back home Dragic

 

I've watched like 3 PHX games and was thinking the exact same thing. They can't say anything thought, because they don't have that bad a record.

 

Slovenia? or Phoenix? He was drafted by the Suns... Ilirija Ljubljana might need a decent point guard, but I'm not sure they have the money he commands...

 

YIKES SPIKES! With Thomas playing this well one will likely have to go..

Yea I drafted dragic. He's doing even worse

 

"expiring contracts have no value anymore"
