I think we should re-sign Jrue and use the 2018 1st and whatever other assets we can muster to shoot the moon and turn Moore into Eric Bledsoe.


I would love that.
I wonder how available Bledsoe is. I doubt they would get rid of him and keep Knight. He's much more of a scorer than Jrue. I seriously doubt we would have the assets to get him, but if there's a way, i'm for that more than any other possible trade we've talked about like Fournier or Batum.

Well if they draft a PG in the top 5 then Bledsoe no longer fits their window. And while Bledsoe is better than Eric Gordon, I'd say he's just as injury prone limiting the market for him.

He's gone. PHX just shut him down for the season for knee soreness (tanking). They are going to end up top 3 and draft one of the point guards for the future who is more on the same time horizon as Booker, Bender, Chriss...etc.

Not sure what it would take to get him, but with the health risks, him being 28, and PHX wanting to unload him, I don't think they will get crazy value for him. I also think they have enough young talent, so future picks as opposed to more picks this year may appeal to them to give them more flexibility/options.

Teaming Boogie back up with Bledsoe would all but ensure him re-signing. Also gives you the leverage to try and figure out a S&T with John Wall/Jrue in 2019.
