Good deal for both he and GS. He will get significant minutes. Another rehab case for the Suns med staff without any real compensation.

Not trading him last year was... baffling. No one would have given up a 2nd rounder or two for him? Really?

If Golden State stays healthy, they could win the West. Hell they could win the whole enchilada.

I really like what they did. A lot of folks are knocking the signing of Iggy. I think he will be fantastic for them. I really see no weakness except for Back up PG. I think they are going to get the Euro Nedovic, and he appears to be something really special. If Nedovic pans out they may never miss Jack. They are two deep at every position and can play either big or small and should be one of the better defensive teams in the league next year.

Everyone is foaming at the Mouth about Presti and Morey's moves for OKC and Houston. Whoever is pulling the trigger in Golden State deserves some kudos as well.

realistically

we downgraded from JO to Len..
we downgraded from Dudley to Butler
Archie Goodwin as a rookie is unlikely to give more than Wes Johnson

and we added Bledsoe.

I'll guess 24-27 wins although staying under 20 would be highly recommended.

It might just be that JO did not want to get traded mid-season and the Suns respected that, his daughter was in life threatening condition.

I would think that is best practice considering JO signed here for the veteran minimum to respect his wishes.
