[FreedS[ohh]lave]

What is the Suns plan with all these pg's?

Drafting ennis seems like a wasted pick

Dragic is likely to opt out.

But yeah, it still seems overboard.

Morey in the cut like

One of thm guards coming to Houston

You already know Dragic is coming back for a 2nd rounder and Ish Smith.

No. Reggie isn't nearly as strong or fast as Bledsoe. Bledsoe shoots a better clip from distance, he gets to the line at a MUCH higher rate, and he puts more pressure on the opposing defense than Reggie Jax, and it isn't really close.

Even if you adjust for pace, Bledsoe takes it..

Per 100 possessions
Bledsoe: 27 Points, 8 Assists, 7 Rebounds,
Jackson: 23 points. 7 assists, 7 rebounds,

And Bledsoe is a much, much, much better defender than Reggie Jackson. They are disparate talents. And, like I said... Reggie Jackson is my guy, that's a BC basketball player doing work, you know I'll go to bat for him. But Bledsoe is a step up in talent. A significant step.

Reggie is playing at a level above what would be his actual production because of Brooks' inept offensive system too

Dude hasn't even proved himself yet...plus he is recovering from an injury

Lol. No chance. Thats a shyt deal, Dragic has stated his intentions to stay in Phoenix...they gave him his true shot to succeed..they just signed his brother and Houston got rid of him instead of keeping him around. Slovenians are respectful and loyal people and I really think he will stay and perhaps take a team friendly deal to do so if the Suns want to keep him. The Suns were a very good team with Bledsoe healthy but with the disdain between the two I think the deal was mainly to allow the Suns more flexibility in trading him (no trade kickers etc) since Bledsoe probably wants out and they had countless discussions about sign and trades. It'll be a step by step process with them and Bledsoe and I think if they start out slow and Bledsoe is healthy he is going to be out the door. I wouldn't rule out a Rudy Gay trade at some point, I think he fits the Suns needs and system perfectly...and Cousins/Bledsoe have the UK connection. Kings would need a 3 then, and they seem to like Collison and McCallum but they could move Bledsoe to the 2 at times with Stauskas off the bench and maybe send Jason Thompson to PHX as well in some sort of three way deal that nets the Kings a decent 3 if they don't want to go with Mbah-a-Moute

Yep....I think Bledsoe's gonna be traded at some point this season

He's good, but not that good.
