Suns won't negotiate against themselves and Bledsoe wants his max. This isn't getting anywhere. Rockets could fly in for a S&T offer if any of our assets interest them.
Won't happen because Morey is going to spend all of Howard and Harden's prime together looking for an elite shooting PF like bosh, dirk, or Klove and most likely come up empty handed.
Dragon advantage: Didn't have a meniscus removed. Probably won't matter for Bledsoe's next contract but yikes, after that they might disintegrate Wade-style.
They would probably be better off trading Dragic and giving Bledsoe the money. You'd have a great young player long term and you could get something for Dragic, who might not be there beyond this season anyway. With all of the guards they've drafted and signed, they just have too much money tied up in the back court. Much like the Rockets with Howard and Asik, it's just a misallocation of funds.
I believe Bledsoe just had a partial removal, not as extensive as Wade's surgery. Still, it's a worrisome surgery for a young guy like that.
Either. Both are all star quality guards, both would look great in a Rocket jersey, both fit fine next to Harden and Howard.
In two years max contracts are going up so Bledsoe's max contract will be a bargin in the back half of the deal.
That's why he's pushing for his money right now. He probably realizes that in 5 years, he might be a shell of himself. I'd be ecstatic if we could nab Bledsoe, but I'd much rather prefer Dragic specifically for that reason. But let's face it, the way this off-season has gone, I'm not holding my breath on anybody.
Exactly, EITHER of these guys would be great fits on this Rockets team. Let's not be picky or even divided if one of these guys are gifted to us.
