PHX does want off one of Bledsoe/Knight. Will trade either guy...at the appropriate trade value. They feel Bledsoe is worth more in trade than Knight so would hold out for a higher return on him. However....there simply isn't much trade market for point guards. I'm pretty sure we could cut a deal with them using Lawson's contract. It would be a multi-player deal with us taking back Markieff as well (if he would agree to non-guarantee the final 3 seasons of his deal so we could waive him after this season) and sending them back Brewer. Keep an eye on Phoenix as a trade partner along with Chicago, Boston, Charlotte, Miami, Minny, and Philly. BTW, PHX one of the leakiest FO's in the Association.
bballholic are you okay? In what world do you think we can trade Lawson + Brewer for Bledsoe? Only if Dwight is included. And Bledsoe has a great market. There are four teams waiting for someone like him to hit the market. Boston, Orlando Philly and Utah.

Ya agreed with malakas.... knight or bledsoe +morris for brewer and lawson is larceny and there is no doubt in my mind they would laugh at such a **** offer. I just like most fans here want tjones and brewer gone and i would for sure take morris,s contract over brewers, i hope morey can find a way to make what i stated happen, but if makes what u stated happen then i will personally instill a red carpet around his whole house
for fans saying Hornacek to the Rockets............... please log off this site forever! No Utah Jazz player from the 90s should be allowed any position here.
I didn't say bledsoe. I was very clear that they think Bledsoe has more trade value than Knight. EDIT: Besides, giving them Terrence is akin to giving them a first round pick. Not to mention, Boston and Orlando already have multiple perimeter players. In fact, both teams have too many perimeter players and are looking to unload some of those guys for a great big. They're not going to break the bank for Bledsoe or any other PG. IT just made the All-Star team for crying out loud.
Wonder if the Suns would be interested in a Lawson for Bledsoe/Morris swap if we included one or more of Jones, Dmo, and Capela.
The Suns have been 26th, 21st, and 25th in defense during his tenure. In fact they kind of mirror the Rockets now - good offense but crap defense which = flailing around 500. Why would anybody suggest this?
Isn't this what the Rockets do? We don't run much of anything either. It's a Harden ISO or a jacked up 3

No idea if he is a good or bad coach... But it's also hard to see Popovich coaching that team to a better record. That team, with their injuries accounted for, is not good, and with their personalities accounted for, is even worse, and with their crazy front office wheelings and dealings accounted for, should be one of the worst in the league.
ESPN sources say Suns have strong interest in Steve Nash for bench vacancy but Nash not ready at this time to jump into full-time coaching. Full story going online now but Nash, while undeniably close with Suns owner Robert Sarver, not prepared to leave family for head coaching. Nash, remember, is in his first full year of retirement and already has two basketball jobs: GM of Canada NT + Warriors part-time consultant. — Marc Stein
