and Bledsoe's -41 through 29 minutes. The cost of acquiring could go down soon enough. Wish we had a large expiring. frick, if we offered Asik the exact same average per season, but over 3 years, there's no way he wouldn't have signed it. An expiring ~$12m deal + an unprotected first rounder + a so-so but cheap prospect in Diallo may have gotten it done. Moore + filler + an unprotected first, not so sure. Not that I think Moore is a negative asset, but I don't think that he makes sense for the Suns without getting a 3rd team involved.

You know that first rounder is buring a hole in Demps pocket.

I don’t know, I’m in the minority here but think Jrue will come around. Gentry has not put this team in a spot to succeed and acquiring Bledsoe more than likely won’t change that strategy. Also Moore wasn’t one of the many shite stains we saw last night.

If we trade for Bledsoe now Phoenix has the leverage on us. We also need to get a 3rd team involved and I really don't think you'll have many willing partners this early. I think the least costly path to Bledsoe is a 3 team trade with a Philly team that is sniffing the playoffs who would want to add some veterans to the mix.

Pels - Bledsoe
Suns - Okafor/Ajinca/Pels 1st
76ers - Dudley/Moore/Frank Jackson

Maybe you need a 4th team like Chicago to send a pick or young player to Phoenix for Okafor, but the Suns get the equivalence of 2 1sts and cut the money they owe Dudley in half by swapping him out for Ajinca. The Sixers get get some hard working veterans to mentor the kids and a young prospect with 1st round talent in Jackson.
