Bledsoe and the Suns reach agreement on 5yr deal

[Arizona_Sting]

Dragic-Thomas-Ennis
Bledose-Green-Goodwin
Tucker-Warren
Markieff-Marcus-Tolliver
Plumlee-Len

Tons of depth and I wouldn't be surprised if we made a trade during the season for a big man.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

A bench of Isaiah Thomas, Gerald Green, TJ Warren, Marcus Morris and Alex Len is hands down the best second unit in the game. Plus Ennis, Goodwin and Tolliver as leftovers.

Bledsoe’s first-year salary starts at $13MM and the deal has annual raises of $500K, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic tweets. Coro also adds that the agreement contains no trade kickers or early termination options, and confirms the earlier information that there are no player or team options.

So it will be $13(15), $13.5(16), $14(17), $14.5(18), & $15(19). With no out clauses or trade escalators, if he fails to live up to his potential, he would be easier to trade. Not bad considering the cap will soon rise significantly.

This reminds me a bit of when the Knicks tried to fit Marbury, Steve Francis, Nate Robinson and Jamal Crawford on one team. j/k. Or am I?

Except Dragic is a top 5 PG...

So now we know what Rondo's camp wants: 5 years, 18m = $90M

It is debatable if dragic is a top 5 pg. I would take cp3, curry, Parker, Westbrook, a healthy rose/rondo, lillard, & wall before him.

No way.

So far, Len has been garbage.

We have zero idea of what Ennis will do.

But, I will give you Green and the Twin.

They are a luxury on the bench.

I think the Spurs pick-a-part bench is still the best.

The names are not awe inspiring. But, the results are...

Product of the system perhaps?

Yeah....not top 5...yet.

But, boy is he good!

I love me some Dame Lillard.

But, I'm taking Dragic over both he and Wall...maybe even Rondo.

The others are clearly superior...imo

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Dragic is more efficient than Lillard, Wall and Rondo. Some people just go by "big names" I go by numbers.

You forgot about Thomas, who will be a favorite for sixth man of the year.

Between him green and the twin that's a ridiculous trio to have off the bench.
Also, TJ Warren will be the steal of this draft, mark my words. 25ppg in the ACC as a sophomore is no joke. He showed us a glimpse of how good he will be in the summer league too.

 

[bksballer89]

Just because dragic had one outstanding year doesn't mean I'll take him over those guys. The only one I probably would take him over from my list is Wall. The year before all he did was avg 15 & 7 on 44 percent shooting. Good numbers but not top 5 numbers imo. I'm not going to jump and say he is definitely a top 5 pg because of 1 season. You need to do it for more than 1 year to become a top 5 pg which is probably the strongest position outside of PF in the league

 

[bksballer89]

And let's stop assuming every rookie will be good before seeing them play 1 game in the league. Summer league means nothing. It is full of other rookies and guys trying to get a camp invite. 1st round picks should look good in summer league

 

[HurricaneDij39]

I don't like Damian Lilliard. Too damn jumper-happy for his multi-dimensional skills. A poor man's Baron Davis. He needs to prove me wrong.

 

[bksballer89]

I agree but the man is clutch. He's young and should learn but I have no idea why he attempts 6 plus threes per night.....makes no sense

 

[lakersrule]

Yep, that'd be you.

When have I ever stalked you or anyone for that matter? You're delusional.

 

[lakersrule]

So now we know what Rondo's camp wants: 5 years, 18m = $90M

Better hope your owner keeps his mouth shut. Saying Rondo is uncoachable doesn't help his trade value.

LOL I don't know who you are, never had any real message board run-ins with you. But it seems as if whenever I mention any attractive woman, you have to reference that 2010 blog I wrote and use the same tired, baseless stalker label on me...

So I may have said that once or twice a long time ago and you label me a stalker? Whatever dude. Maybe try and not divulge so much of your personal life on a message board.

 

[LogicMan]

Rule I find myself in full agreement with you
