Phoenix shut down Bledsoe earlier to get him healthy for next season, but i feel with the youth on the roster and play of Ulis they may keep him as starting PG to develop with Booker, Chriss and Bender.

My question is what teams do you think enquire about him and where do you think he makes sense to play?

1 team came to mind immediately for me,
#1: Denver Nuggets – They have been a really nice team of late with Nelson running the point, but there is no denying that Bledsoe would be an upgrade to really help them push for playoff spot next season, not too mention Denver has plenty of assets to give up without destroying the core of their team.

I guess Chicago or Orlando could show some interest as well.

 This guy is one of the elite PG’s in the league when healthy and such a treat to watch. He applies so much pressure offensively and defensively. Maybe the second most naturally aggressive PG behind Westbrook. 

The Suns should not try to make trading him a part of thier plans. They will not get good value for a player that played less than 44 games in 3 of the last 6 seasons. He also has never truely been the alpha leader on a playoff team. 

The fact that Ulis is playing well does not make Bledsoe or Knight expandable. It just makes your team better which is what you want. Playoff teams usually have 5 gaurds that are ready to go if healthy.

Pistons need to move on from Reggie Jackson immediately. I don’t know what they’d do with him but Bledsoe would definitely be an upgrade

 i think he’s going to Dallas next year in exchange for their lottery draft pick, i think coach Carlisle gonna make the most out of him…

The Clippers version of Bledsoe seemed to be a disruptor in the passing lanes and better on ball defense.  The Suns version is a more polished scorer and a "cerebral" playmaker.  Doesnt appear as athletic as before and mostly plays under control.  He would def. be more of an asset on a veteran team.  Suns like any other team need a young stud of a PG to keep up with Curry, Westbrook, and Harden.

For some reason Bledsoe seems to be what the wolves want dunn to be so why not bring in a thibs type pg, bulldog on defense older LOL and attacks the rim and is injury prone.

As a Suns fan, I agree that Eric is a good player and is perhaps overlooked given the depth in NBA PGs. But he does have his durability issues and I wonder if these will ever improve especially as he has wear and tear on his body the more he plays.

We can easily say the Suns can shop him and potentially draft a top young PG but there is a lot of PG depth in the NBA and with a load of top PGs going to FA this summer plus a loaded draft then would Suns get value for a good but injury prone player. Although Bledsoe is on a good salary for his skillset would a GM really commit $29 million on Bledsoe over the next two years and give up assets to get him when they could potentially draft a cheaper and much younger prospect.

Plus Suns need to rebuild, keep moving on proven players for rookies doesn’t always work and Bledsoe has developed a nice understanding with Booker and his experience on a young team is useful. Plus his salary is quite fair for his skillset.
