    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Huh? Isn't that pretty much what I said? Except I was speculating while you're making claim of fact. Again, huh? Not sure what I wrote that this is a response to?

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Of course. I'm just playing guessing games on the info put forth. None of it could be true, but I'm just speculating.

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Of course they could have, just as they could have signed Thomas outright, but didn't. The point is that they would (just speculation on my part) want to know they got their guy by means of a sign and trade rather than putting forth an offer and having to wait the 3 days just to see Detroit...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Exactly. If it's true that he received two max offers, but a trade could not be worked out, than it would be clear that he intends to leave Detroit at all cost. He could have signed either offer and let Detroit match and would have his security. I'm sure had he received the offers, they came...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Even if he informed Detroit of the intent, it's still not valid until he signs. Anything can happen until then, including his changing his mind. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/pistons/2014/08/12/greg-monroe-restricted-free-agent-pistons-qualifying-offer/12940893/

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    It should also be mentioned that if he does take the QO for next season, he is afforded the right to deny any trade. So the Suns aren't only limited to trading him to a team he wants to play for, they are also limited in what they can get back due to the low salary he will be making. The Suns...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    NO! I would rather take back a couple of pizza's and a bottle of tequila. I have zero interest in Irving playing for the Suns for free and a heck of a lot less for the money he is due.

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I didn't say he couldn't improve, I just believe he's about as good as he's going to get. That's good, but he shouldn't be built around as others have suggested. Yes, they have right here on this board. Not everyone, but some. As would I, but I've tired of the Nash comparisons. Steve Nash is...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I keep seeing this from folks, but you do understand that Dragic is 29 years old. He's hit his peak. How many more years does he have at his current level? He's got one more high dollar contract @ 4 years. Unless the Suns plan on being able to contend in the next year or two, I don't see any...

    PJ Tucker arrested for "super extreme" DUI

    I guess there may have been more thought into the comment McD made when Tuckers deal was introduced to the media. "The foreseeable future" remark now makes a lot more sense. He made a big mistake, but who hasn't. I'm betting many saying the Suns shouldn't have signed him have driven at least...

    Lebron Opts Out/Becomes Free Agent

    I'm not even a fan, nor can I imagine myself ever rooting for Mr. Ego II, but come on. He tried to start a league wide thing and have the league retire the number in honor of Jordan. After 4 years it went nowhere, so why not? Also, people are allowed to change their minds or are you going to...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Sounds like Eric and his agent believe the Suns being vocal about matching any offer is somehow using the rules against him. It's an odd way to look at it IMO, but he must believe that he'd have gotten a better offer otherwise and thinks the Suns scared off any potential deals. It's just an...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    Yep. Eric certainly isn't gifted with the words. If he's going to make a comment, he certainly could have made a better, clearer statement. I doubt he's spoken to the Suns since the season ended. All his information is being filtered to him through his agent. Who knows what the guy has told...

    Present depth chart

    This how I feel. That, and since I am in the camp of patience is the key, I feel next off season is when this issue will be addressed. Next draft there are several big man candidates. I feel that if the Lakers place between 6-10 in the draft we have a great chance to nab a good one. If that...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I believe I saw a few twitters saying Warren had signed, here's one: http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2014/07/suns-sign-warren.html I don't know that he in fact has, only that I read that he had. Of course anyone is tradable. I was only saying that I thought his choice of "for the forseeable...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I'm almost positive Warren signed a week or more ago. Tucker signed today. Ennis is the only one I have no recollection of reading that he's signed his contract. I think Tuckers deal was on hold in case an opportunity for a trade or to get someone under the cap before signing our restricted free...

    What McD is looking for in player

    One of the things I like about Tolliver when looking over his stats, he doesn't drop off when playing on the road. In fact he seems to be a little more efficient on the road than at home. He's consistent. You pretty much know what you are going to get out of him night to night. He's not going to...

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I'm sure I'll kick myself for getting involved, but your argument is faulty. You claim that a 2 PG lineup isn't as successful in the playoffs, but at the same time admit that it's rarely been used. It doesn't matter that a traditional PG/SG combination has won more championships if a PG/PG combo...

    Rumor: Bledsoe trade to Lakers

    I fail to see the importance of fitting into the norm? Besides that the best ideas in life often fall outside the norm, it's clear the Suns are trying to build something different. That doesn't equate to worse. They want playmakers on both sides of the court. They have not completed their front...

    Report: Suns Considering Greg Monroe

    Huh? Damage control? Every team wanted Lebron or Love and every team other than Cleveland struck out (so far). We don't know what their plan B or C is so there is no way to know who they may want. let alone that they reaching for anything. In fact, we hear one or two tweets for folks who likely...

    Rumor: Bledsoe trade to Lakers

    Exactly. How ridiculous for them to speculate. Has it ever been a surprise what those press conferences are for? We always know a few days at least in advance what they are about because the trade/signing are always very reported on. The last thing is the team holding a press conference to...

    Rumor: Bledsoe trade to Lakers

    I believe the accurate description is that he makes an obvious joke and those who insist it's the direction of the team use a joke as "evidence" to support their claim. Which of course is just another joke, but one they don't get.

    Suns, Eric Bledsoe Far Apart In Talks

    I don't believe this is anything like the Johnson situation. I know Saver takes a lot of heat over it and I might be the only person who does, but at the time based on what I knew, I agreed with him. Johnson was offered a very fair contract for being a 3rd option and he was coming off a half...

    Rumor: Bledsoe trade to Lakers

    I'm sorry, but you are 100% false. It's only mysterious to fans. The FO knows exactly what the situation is and they offered him a 4 year deal. Dragic will be 33 in 4 years. Bledsoe will be 28. Dragic could blow out his knee tomorrow.
