    Why? If anything the city supports their team well. The fans aren't the problem, it starts with ownership.

    Ah, today my brain is running at 30%, so humor and me are not on the same plane. Need more. Coffee...

    LOL I don't see how they get any value for Bledsoe if they piggy back Chandler onto the deal.

    Too bad Ryan Anderson's deal isn't one year shorter. Although the Rockets would then have to get another PF.

    Lol, Henson is a worse contract than Chandler, personally i would never swap Brogdon for Bledsoe if i'm Milwaukee.

    I also don't see the appeal with that first idea, Delly has no value and needs to get paid for three years, Monroe is an expiring old school pf with basically no future in the nba, Wilson seems interesting, but the Suns have already Bender, Chriss, Warren, not sure they would move Bledsoe and Chandler just for Wilson and to eat Delly's contract.

    No way I give up Malcolm Brogdon. HECK no.

    Would you guys send out Ryan Anderson for Tyson Chandler and Jared Dudley? 3 year remaining on Ryno, 2 years remaining on Tyson and Dudley. Our SF/PF would be Ariza, Tucker, Moute, Dudley. Dudley is a super smart defender that can REALLY shoot it.

    Good question...personally i don't really know, i think a player like Ryan is maybe a bit more useful for this team as today, i mean, Dudley would be kinda redundant with PJ, Luc, Trevor...same with Chandler since we have Capela, Nene and Black (even though i really like Chandler and i would love to get him in a buyout scenario). But one thing is for sure, if we want to upgrade the team going forward, we must move Ryan's contract, there's no other way to get a top player...and moving Chandler and Dudley should be easier since they're basically in the same tier as players, but they get half the salary so...again, good question.

    Anyway, i don't think the Suns would want Anderson, if there's a third team willing to get him and not interested in Chandler and Dudley maybe, but who knows...

    I’d have to think about it. Chandler would’ve been super useful if we shipped Capela out. With Capela’s play as of late, along with Nene & Black, not sure we need Chandler at this point. I’ve always wanted Dudley on this team, but i’m not sure he’s better than Anderson right now. Ryno’s been good to start the season off.

    Tyson will be waived in 6-8 weeks anyways. Not a bad way to move salary around though.

    aggressive my ass. If they really want to trade Bledsoe, they wouldn't be asking for an arm and a leg.

    Phoenix found their own Patrick Beverley:
    http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i..._to_gucci_the_unlikely_rise_of_phoenix_s.html

    In four games since he was inserted in starting lineup in favour of Bledsoe, he averages 14 pts, 3 rb and 4,5 ast in 26 min on 44% for 2pt and 49% on 3pt.
    It's a small sample size, but it gives Suns at least a temporary solution to PG spot while finding a good deal for Bledsoe. They don't have to rush with the trade now, effectively raising Bledsoe's trade value by a bit.

    They never had to. Tank mode anyway.

    They're done with tanking. I mean, they will still have a bad record this year, but they want to win as much as possible. Compare this to last year, when they benched Bledsoe and Chandler solely for purpose of tanking, and even if they end with same record as last year, the approach is completely different.

    Would not be surprised to see if Tyson Chandler is waived if the Boston Celtics add him with their new 8.4M injury exception. He would fill a big need and that is a nice salary.
