Bledsoe is a stud, he is starting to show what he really can do now that he has more playing time and is the main PG. Suns need to lock him up ASAP and start adding pieces around him.
Because Sarver is a cheap b*stard. Just like he could of resigned Joe Johnson to a 50 million dollar extension back in 04, Sarver could of resigned Bledose to a bargain type Jrue Holiday/Ty Lawson type of deal. Now he likely going to lose him to FA unless he ponies up a deal that is significantly more. Here's an article from a Suns blogger discussing the Joe Johnson similarities... http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2...n-with-eric-bledsoe-has-shades-of-joe-johnson
Because he is putting up great stats on one of the worst teams in NBA? He wasn't that great when CP3 went down and he took the temporary starting PG job... I doubt any GM will fall for that. I'm sure this forum can come up with at least 10 busts that looked great pre-fat contract... Don't mean to say those 10 players didn't play well, but they didn't justify the money that's been thrown at them (Ilyasova, Turkoglu, AB after being dealt to Phoenix...)
But he's so careless with the basketball!!!! Anyway, no great team has a scoring point guard as their top dog. I guess you can argue Tony Parker, but he's a huge pick and roll guy, Bledsoe is more iso oriented. Question is what is his ceiling? Is he just a John Wall type? Great talent, puts up the numbers, but can he be the key cog in a winning formula.
He's on my fantasy team and he's destroying me with those TO's But he's beastin in everything else :grin: I'm sure the Suns will make the move to trade Dragic some time this year. I think they've found their new PG for the future.
I really like his game. Been watching Suns games primarily because of him(and to see how Len is doing).
The media tried way too hard to push the storyline that the Clippers had the best offseason and turned themselves into favorites to win the West. Really underrated the importance of Bledsoe to last year's Clipper team and moving forward. I see Bledsoe as a future all star, and it was shameful to trade him and Butler away for Redick and Dudley. Phoenix won that deal because they got the best player in the trade.
can't really say phoenix won the deal because the clips are the better team in the end. they knew they couldn't keep bledsoe as he was ready to become a starter in the league so they got something for him and addressed their need with more shooters along cp3
obviously not in that case but in this situation it remains to be seen, as the clippers are better than last season so far. best individual player in the trade bledsoe yes but as far as winning the trade is still to be determined.
He's a turnover machine and his assists are coming off hot 3 point shooting, watched the highlights of his game against OKC and not one of his assists led to an easy basket. He's a good player but he's no franchise PG. We've seen this before with Gogi, Lin, Lowry etc
