LOL! Was searching for where Eric Bledsoe was born and came across this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Bledsoe
Check out Bledsoe’s face in the pic to the right. He’s looking directly at the first few sentences and looks pretty shocked something like this can be written by this unbiased site.
and two thoughts…
Bledsoe is discussed as a tradeable asset but he is a free agent. Being a free agent he cant be traded without agreeing to the terms because he’s not under contract. That being said, he probably wont be signed and traded to Pistons, Bucks or other dismal destinations. Therefore, these options are on the table.
1. Bledsoe steps into the negotiation and agrees to 4 yrs 60 something mil. He will be 29 when he’s done with the contract and might land a max contract by then
2. Agrees to qualifying offer and becomes ufa next year. Might be his preference at this point so he can join an elite team next year.
3. Sign and traded to his preferred destination. Most likely wont be a Western Conf team unless Suns get equal value. Probably an elite Eastern conference team or a big market team. Bulls, Cavs, Heat, Knicks, Nets, Wizards (reunion with Wall) or even Hawks (closest to home town) would be interested. I say three way trade with Cavs/Suns/Pistons or 76ers and Cavs getting Bledsoe with Salary cap friendly contract.
As a suns fan I’m ready to move on past Bledsoe. Suns are really strong with Dragic/Green starting backcourt and Thomas/Goodwin/Ennis bench. Could use more rebounding and a dominant PF. Probably will find that in next yrs draft with 3 possible picks and more if a trade of Bledsoe goes down.

  That is comedy. Randle is their only trade commodity and he’s not going anywhere.
