Bledsoe is getting upset...

Do we have room?

In like 3 months. Until Jrue plays better, no one will be interested in him. If Jrue were playing well (like, say, to ~80% of what he's getting paid), I don't think the Suns would be interested in him anyway. They're not going to want a vet that will help them get many wins.

No worries there.

Coach Earl Watson fired.

I’m not sure what he’s suggesting here.

Pretty obvious he wants to be traded. I don't think that there's any way to take it another way unless he kills himself or becomes an astronaut and moves to the moon.

I was being sarcastic.

Realistically, is a deal worth making if we won't be able to re-sign him after his deal ends? You gotta believe that Money will tied up to Cousins, Davis, and Holiday and Bledsoe will be too expensive to keep.

I think the only hope we have of trading Jrue is for a lesser version of a bad contract. Like maybe if Hardaway is viewed as a disappointment the Knicks would rather have the bigger disappointment so to speak. They were interested in Jrue before, except the kid they just drafted sounds a lot like Jrue. But that’s the kind of trade we could make. Someone that made the same overpay but a tier lower player.

As for Bledsoe this is exactly what we need. Him costing Phoenix leverage so they take a lower price and maybe trade before anyone else has more serious interest. I think part of why Demps wanted special treatment from the league to keep Crawford on his current deal was he plans to make a trade sooner rather than later that either lets him keep Crawford or he needs Crawford’s voidable deal as filler.

Moore, Ajinca and a couple of 1st?

Too hot and cold, bro. This team needs consistency at the 1/2.

Even if he returns to form the only way his contract isn’t a problem is if Rondo works out as a low cost starter for the next several years. If you trade for Bledsoe he’ll need to get paid eventually too and that’s when you’d need to try and cash in Jrue for someone making a bit less like Hardaway.
