Minnesota makes max-offer to Bledsoe? Begging Phoenix for S&T?

[mistergreens]

What could Phoenix get from Minnesota? Just say news on my twitter feed.

i believe this is just a rumor at this point, but its pretty shocking. Rubio's due for an extension in the coming weeks or else he'd hit RFA at season end. Everyone has been assuming he'd be offered the max. not solely based on his play, but also his marketability. Not sure how giving bledsoe the max affects their cap, and even more importantly, rubios status with the team.

It's an interesting idea, and im really curious to see the big picture/ the plan for rubio.

Phoenix could be asking for Lavine. I doubt they ask for Rubio because of Dragic. A third team involved is possible.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Maybe Pek off the books? The emergence of Dieng should be giving them flexibility down there.

Suns own Wolves 2015 first round pick but it's top 12 protected. Removing or reducing protection could be part of Bledsoe talks.

Insider on Clutchfans says that Wolves are trying to push Budinger, Martin and Barea onto the Suns in the S&T.

As PHX you can't take that deal.

Celts should get involved and dump Wallace

[brantonli]

Any Phoenix fans to chime in here? Barea seems redundant with Dragic and Thomas there already, Martin might be interesting though?

Why would Minnesota want a s&t? Phoenix should be the team begging.


Minnesota signs Bledsoe to a max offer they'll get him right? Phoenix not going to put 50 mill a year into their 3 pg rotation are they?

Ho-ly shit. That team could be so athletic

Minnesota doesn't have the cap space to do that. If they want Bledsoe, it has to be through a sign and trade.

That said, I don't really see what Minnesota has to offer for Bledsoe. Outside of their rookies, they don't have much that would appeal to Phoenix.

Reduced pick protection. Maybe down to say top 3.

[ballup]

Suns shouldn't accept a trade just to trade. They didn't really lose much to gain Bledsoe in the first place.

[QuebecBaller]

Phoenix should let Bledsoe go and sign Zoran

Ok, that would make sense I guess. High lottery pick + trade exception + Martin/Expirer is not bad for an player who the Suns don't need anyway.
