Maybe but they probably won't (and definitely shouldn't) give up Murray and Chandler/Mudiay/crap/a non-lottery pick probably won't be the best offer.

But this is the Suns so who knows, they might give him away for Mudiay and a top 22 protected 2021 pick

Mudiay should be a free toss in at this point. I'd give away Mudiay and an unprotected pick (which would be, at worst, late lottery) + cap filler (ideally Faried) in a heartbeat for Bledsoe.

Denver won't have cap space to get a player like this otherwise before they have to pay Jokic and Bledsoe has a nice contract for the next two years. Don't let a player like this go to another team because you think you should have more leverage.

Utah? Clippers? Obviously the Cavs would love him but they probably don't have the assets unless the Suns want Iman Shumper and Cedi Osman

Jordan Clarkson might be actually decent to good for a very long time in the vein of Lou Williams/Jamal Crawford. Dude is a professional bucket getter.

I'm really not sure why they've been rumored to be looking to move him or whatever for several years, he's not expensive and he fits their team perfectly. Clarkson is a really great value player who fills a needed role for them.

Folks, Andre Drummond is shooting 100% from the line this season and 85% if you throw in the preseason

Small sample or new man? If he keeps it up (or just shoots like ~80%) that's probably enough to have won the Pistons enough games to make the playoffs last year, and easily this year.

I don't really know what Utah would trade for him at this point unless they'd like a slightly damaged Dante Exum. I think Utah is pretty happy with Rubio right now too. Denver makes the most sense

Minnesota went after Bledsoe years ago and I think you could play Rubio and Bledsoe together without any problem. But Utah has a ton of wings right now (when they don't fall apart) so unless Bledsoe is being handed to them I can't see them bidding heavy.

It's hard to think of real deals for Bledsoe since it usually boils down to some agent thing and AAU friendship or a spiteful bad deal. And like brolic said, he's injured all the time.

The only way you truly make up, and not just get back to 'acceptable' for a poor defensive center is have an entire 1-4 committed to good defense with one of those players being an incredible defender, then you sink the bad center to the basket where he just tries to get in the way and has as few decisions to make as possible

Maybe but yeah it's hard to see them being interested. I don't think they'd want to trade Hood or Mitchell for him and Ingles isn't good enough to be the centerpiece of a deal. I could see Favors for Bledsoe if Phoenix didn't have a ton of young bigs

FYI this nickname was assigned very early, around when he was drafted. It was always aspirational but it has become less and less fitting. It's now kind of a general insult to Canadians.

FYI this nickname was assigned much earlier than that, he had that back in AAU before he ever got to Kansas.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Bucks or Sixers would make sense for both Bledsoe and the team.

Delly ($9.6m x 3 years), Teletovic ($10.5m x 2 years) and a future first for Bledsoe ($14m x 2 years).
