Nothing will surprise me anymore

Randle for Bledsoe?

I'd consider..... I like Julius but I'm a bigger fan of Bledsoe for our franchises future. I think Bledsoe would be able to carry the torch better than Julius personally...

However... Giving away our 1st round pick too?

HELL NO! We finally get a 1st rounder from someone and I want to keep it damnit

 

[rck3sactown]

why would yall have to give up so much in a S+T? 

 

[WAKKO!]

Guy broadcasts for the Suns, so grain of salt, but

RT @JonBloom source in L.A. pushing Lakers to offer Julius Randle, Jordan Hill & 1st Rd Pick from Lin deal in sign & trade for Bledsoe.

At least hill and 1st rounder

bledsoe wants that max deal, 5 years 80 mil...

he declined 4/48...

 

[mj 23]

Jordan Hill, Randle, AND Lin? Nah I'm good

:x

Yeah that's ridiculous considering we'd have to give Bledsoe AT LEAST 12 Mill/Year... At least :x

Hill and the 1st rounder? I'm okay with that.
Randle and the 1st rounder? Hell no.

Suns need to stop smokin that crack. Greedy *** s+t request you'd think Bledsoe was LeBron or Kevin love with that type of request

Hill and the Rockets 1st I'm down for. Bledsoe IMO would be better than anything we could get with that 18-22 pick Next year.

Plus id rather be giving 12 mill to Bledsoe than 9/year for Hill. We're already stacked at PF so we wouldn't be losing much since we have Boozer.

What do you guys think, P & CP?

 

[lovehateself]

Jordan Hill, Randle, AND Lin? Nah I'm good

not lin, the pick we got from Houston along with Lin

most likely will be 20-25th pick in next years draft. 

 

[lovehateself]

marshall being waived starting to make even more sense now? 

 

[grandtheftbike]

do we still have nash's receipt?

I saw this......

but that's not my point.

In a S+T, its usually to help assist one team in acquiring the FA and accommodating the player's contract demands (Bledsoe).

Why not just Hill+Nash, or just Nash+pick if yall have the cap space.

Bizarre that the Suns are playing such hardball in a S+T situation.

Omg if they took Nash's corpse off our hands and we somehow got Bledsoe in return...

I would be like...

[Magic Johnson] Mitch the genius is BACK!!! [/Magic Johnson]

 

[kookcle]

If the Lakers didnt offer him anything when they had $20M+ capspace why would they trade everything to get him now?

What changed? did Bledsoe grew 6 inches?

Nash should retire as a sun anyway...come on phoenix do it for him

lakers werent trying to have that money tied up with Bledsoe, being he's a RFA.

had to wait out on lbj and melo

#LakerTradeRumorsSometimesHappen

Fixed.

I would agree with you but don't forget, Dwight did get traded to us and he was a #LakerRumor for months (maybe even years).

So he is the exception.

 

[lovehateself]

i see you  mitch

plan b 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

plan bledsoe
and boozer

 

[grandtheftbike]

/senorroboto

 

[MVP]

Don't think it happens, but it would explain the stockpiling of PFs and Boozer signing more. Hell I'll drive Nash to LAX too if it means him getting out of purple and gold, I wouldn't even have to get anything back from PHX specifically for him.

 

[kookcle]

Yes but after Lebron they immediately traded for Lin and didnt even wait for Melo.

Bledsoe is still waiting for offers and its been 8 days since the FA signing started.

Yeah. I can't see them going from not pursuing Bledsoe outright to trading a bunch of stuff for him. The former means you can keep Randle, the latter doesn't.

The Lakers could've gotten together a bunch of stuff to S&T - convincing PHX to not match - but that doesn't seem like a good strategy.

It sounds like a BS rumor anyway. But a random Phoenix reporter broke the Nash trade, so I've learned anything is possible.

 

[tay1]

How do ya'll know that we didn't pursue any of these people ya'll been saying we haven't been pursuing?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Not guaranteeing they 100% didn't pursue, but word tends to leak out.

 

[licensed to ball]

There wasn't a single tweet/report/comment about anyone in our organization meeting/speaking to Bledsoe.

It's hard to believe in this age of social media where everyone knows everyone's business, that no one saw or heard of a 7 foot tall Mitch meeting with Bledsoe.

He would have had to be James Bond stealthy
