Dragic is no Bledsoe on D thats for sure.

And no sir he's better than Reggie Jackson and Bledsoe was damn near the first option this year on the Suns and had he got injured Suns would have had the 5th or 6th seed so we dont agree here.

Bledsoe will be the Suns main priority this offseason bank on it.

I dont think his athleticism being a tad bit down had anything to do with the knees, more so with him playing way more and not being able to exert 100% all out play in only 5-7 mins of play at times,hes got to play 35+ mins now.


Dragic>>>>>Bledsoe.He's basically a luxury at this point.I think signing him to a max contract and fighting for a 5th-8th seed is striving for mediocrity.He's had knee injuries in each of his last 3 seasons.Nothing really major, but you hate to see a pattern of knee problems with any player.Historically, it's almost always a bad thing

I just hope they can get another top 20 player to add to Dragic/Bledsoe.It's the only way I'd be able to swallow them giving Bledsoe the max.He'd work better as a 3rd option instead of a 1st/2nd.

Suns were 28-15 with Bledsoe and 20-19 without him. I do value him but his health is an issue. He missed half the season and it's not the first time he's dealt with this injury in his career.

I'd like to keep him with a deal similar to Curry's. Hoping his injury history scares away a few teams and the Suns can keep him lower than max.

Trade those Picks and prospects and try to get an all-star caliber player. Go after Moose Monroe.

Bledsoe>Dragic,people just Dragic the nod because he turned up when Bledsoe was out,with Bledsoe suns are better and he's a better two way player.

Im not a Suns fan I like Monroes game but hes a supporting player. I dont think Monroe would push them over the top

I think he could be a good piece. I'm not saying give up the boat for him but those picks are heavyly producted and he's a productive player.

Suns need an established pf who can get buckets around the basket who can thrive in an open court game.Boozer for the 18th pick :win:

Bledsoe is a damn good player but they could always trade him for some kind of help if they feel like they dont want to pay him what he ends up requesting. But he's also younger than Dragic so they probably will end up keeping him when it's all said and done.

Ryan McDonough is 2nd in executive of the year voting. Surprised he wasn't 1st.

He signed Hornacek, got Bledsoe for Dudley and a 2nd rounder, got Gerald Green, Miles Plumlee, and the Pacers 1st rounder for Scola, bought out Beasley's contact. He helped turn the worst team in the west into a playoff caliber team in one summer.

I'm surprised the Suns used all 3 picks and didn't trade up. All of these guards on the team....Someone's gonna go. I like the T.J. Warren pick though. I think he can help right away.





So the Suns really want to keep Ennis?:patrice:
