5 years, 70 million. Bledsoe and Rich Paul come out of nowhere to win this negotiation

Wow, that's a pretty rich contract for Bledsoe, but the Suns have shown a willingness to overpay for injury-prone SGs.

So the Suns will have two good guards for years to come. I still think an elite small forward or bigger is required to be a championship contender.

They won like 75% of games last year when he played with Dragic so it may not be the worst signing. Not to mention they added Isiah Thomas and drafted legit guards.

They will have at least 3, probably 4 or 5.

Good for Bledsoe. The kid was living in a car while in high school because his family was so poor.

I used to hate the Suns but the bar I went to last year had them on every night so I watched about half of their games and started to kinda like them. Hopefully they will stay entertaining.

I guess this means they'll let Dragic walk after two seasons. Otherwise, they'll be spending $35 million or so on Dragic, Thomas, and Bledsoe for 2016-17 and 2017-18.

I would not be surprised to see them trade Dragic this year. Stocks never been higher, is about to be a free agent and is almost 30. This is Bledsoe's team now.

He has really blossomed. I was worried he wasn't ready when he left UK, but he's proved me wrong.

Dragic will either walk or be paid this next off season.

so if they let Dragic, they have the small backcourt in NBA history. Unless Thomas or Bledsoe come off the bench and Gerald Green starts. Would be hard to play those 2 midgets together

Man, that would suck. I think Dragic is everyone's favorite player.

I love Bledsoe and Dragic...

But what the hell are the Suns doing? Bledsoe, Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Tyler Ennis, and Archie Goodwin.

Took Goodwin and Ennis with their 1st round picks the last 2 drafts. Did a sign and trade to get Thomas... And just paid Bledsoe a lot of $$$.

Obviously it's looking like Dragic isn't in their plans for the future... But still. Stock piling a bunch of PGs.

I do like TJ Warren a lot though. Think he's gonna be that missing piece for them.
