Griffin to Suns is interesting.

Want it to happen sort of but will laugh if they are in second place again (lost out on Aldridge)

Here's a thought...Blake to PHX - Aldridge to the Clips?

I still feel like Griffin is a better fit in Miami. Why would he sign-up for Phoenix? Bledsoe/Booker/Griffin is decent, but I don't even think that is gonna make the playoffs.

All Blake needs to get a S&T to somewhere he may want to go like OKC is to make the Clippers think he'll walk for nothing.

True, I wonder if the Clippers would want Oladipo. It seems like he'd be the odd man out if they went that route.

They already have a lot of money tied into Adams and Kanter. One of those two would need to be moved in my estimation and the Clips would want neither with already having Jordan

The Suns are meeting with Millsap too who has spoken to the Hawks about possible sign-and-trades

It would be Bledsoe, Booker, Josh Jackson, Blake Griffin and Tyson Chandler. There would be plenty enough around him. Not to mention Chriss, Bender, Dudley, TJ Warren, Knight, Ulis, etc. All we need is another good Western team.

If that happens I really want the Blazers to jump on the TJ Warren trade offers.

I'm gonna be so pissed if he goes to a Western Conference lottery team.

Chris Haynes? @ChrisBHaynes 6 minutes ago

Sacramento Kings to decline extending qualifying offer to Ben McLemore and he'll become unrestricted free agent, league sources tell ESPN.


I wonder how much he'll get. He seems like a good reclamation project candidate if he's cheap.


I remember when he came out he was being compared to Ray Allen. Dude had so much hype around him

I listed the players that I felt like were relevant.

Warren may be the only other person on that roster who could possibly contribute positively to an NBA playoff team.

I wonder what it would take to get Warren. He fits into our trade exception.

You don't think Bledsoe would contribute positively to say... the Pels? A hopeful playoff team?

That Suns team, on paper, has an immense amount of talent. With proper coaching, they'd be a shoe in for the playoffs considering the 8 seed the last two years has limped into the playoffs

I have always been a Bledsoe fan and I still advocate for the Pels to consider him as a target because I think he'd be a great fit here. But I do see the concerns about his injury history and his average shooting.

However I think if the Suns get Griffin or Milsaps, they have their eyes on the playoffs. Neither of those two are planning on going to a team that is 3 years away from a playoff berth. In that situation I think Bledsoe stays in Phoenix.

If Boogie likes him then maybe. But right now the only thing McLemore gives the Pels that we don't have already is athleticism at the guard spot. Other than that Moore does everything better.

I'm not opposed to signing him because his athleticism and shooting ability is intriguing at 24 years old but he's a project right now

AD is friends with him. They used to date sisters (twins).
