If Pheonix couldnt workout a reasonable contract for him, Im sure Morey couldn't get to first base either.
Hmmm. Any particular cause? a) Bledsoe wouldn't accept our offer b) Sus wouldn't accept our offer c) We backed out
Well we have nothing the Suns would want and Bledsoe wants to get paid so I'd venture and say a mixture of A and B.
B. I think the Pelicans pick is 'OKAY', not great. People are under rating the pelicans and they could very easily end up with the 14th pick next year. Terrence is also 'OKAY'. After that we have a bunch of people who aren't proven players. Our offer was bad from the jump.
Why? The Rockets are still going to make the playoffs and in good position to improve later. We're in good position, fam.
Bledsoe himself is an unproven player....which is why noone has offered him the max or given up significant assets for him.
They could trade Ellis, or something like Wright, Devin Harris, Mekel whatever picks they have. They could make a trade now we can't until late next month? and so many of the teams in the league have better offers. ATL Milisap & Teague(maybe we could get in on a 3 way here get Teague or Millisap giving up combo of 1st Jones, Dmo, TPE, Capela etc.) LAL(doubt PHX would help them as they own LAL pick) SAC DET Monroe MIL IND West, Hill there pick more enticing than NO hell CLE could just offer Waiters great fit for PHX
But we would contend have that big 3 if we did get bledsoe because we only have 2 more years of Dwight and we should keep him happy
Well that's rather disappointing. Not sure why we wouldn't give Bledsoe the years he wants. He is ultra young and would be a huge upgrade. Too bad.
as posted earlier it wouldn't even get that far, PHX insider basically said they laughed at Houston assets. Get Faried is just as laughable dude is about to beast with Team USA and greatly improve his value .
I was joking about that in my response to your post btw. What's the pricetag on Faried if you don't mind me asking? Doesn't seem like the ideal fit alongside Howard at face value but he is a better defender than Jones and that should be a plus for our starting lineup.
