KingRevolver Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 ...with a deal involving Eric Bledsoe. I'd love for the Suns to spoil the Cleveland trade, but I doubt it'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickadee Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 PHX is too late at this point. The market has soured on him because of his MCL injuries. Not to mention PHX Suns have him as a RFA by the balls and other teams know that even if they offered him something in the max range salary PHX will simply match because they have the cap space to do so. So to get Bledsoe you need to have a S&T and most of the teams willing to take on that max deal that will be competetive this year will need to offload salary to do so. Unfortunately that salary comes in the form of bad contracts which isn't attractive to PHX at all since they can just sign him outright. The other offers have come from the teams that are tanking but none of them hold, or are willing to give up a significant asset to get him. All they have is picks and PHX has an abundance of those along with a full roster of young players. So there's been a big rift developed this offseason between the two parties. He wants a max deal but they're offering him kyle lowry money (11-13 mil p/y range). Hard to feel sorry for the guy. Maybe Milwaukee makes sense in Bledsoe for Sanders + assets trade. PHX could use a rim protector. Miles Plumlee was a nice surprise but I'm not convinced he can be their starting C going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wont happen, MIN would be burning two bridges by backing out (phi apart of the deal also) and really they want Wiggins more than Bledsoe anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hustledouble Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 If you guys dust off the old basketball shorts you might be able to get a spot in the 76ers rotation this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisHarvard Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 If you guys dust off the old basketball shorts you might be able to get a spot in the 76ers rotation this year :smiley-laughing001: LoL speaking of the sixers, st. louis is already starting to look like the 76ers of the NFL. Bradford is done (assuming). Even with him, they are just troublesome. Philly NBA and St. Louis NFL are great fades this coming season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickadee Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 If you guys dust off the old basketball shorts you might be able to get a spot in the 76ers rotation this year Besides sophmore Michael Carter Williams and "rookie" Nerlens Noel their team consists of 0 NBA starters since they traded Thaddeus Young and they're going to hold out Embidd for the season. Henry Sims/Noel/MCW will all put up nice fantasy numbers this year on poor efficiency. It's scary to think 76ers win total will be less than last year.

tripp Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm becoming a small fan of the Sixers just based on their smart management. Too many franchises play for mediocrity. Either be great or be terrible in the NBA. Being terrible will lead to being great eventually. They wanted Wiggins this year but since they didnt grab him they got the next best thing. Embiid who has crazy high potential but will also miss this year so it allows them to go into full tank job again and grab another franchise player in the top 3 of next draft (supposed to be a strong draft also, although not Wiggins/Parker/Embiid strong). I appreciate intelligent, forward thinking and the Sixers know what they have to do in order to be a contending team in the NBA (only other way is snag a few stars in free agency and we see how many teams go with that strategy and fail to get their guy every offseason).
