Eric Bledsoe

[Sactown Shawn]

Let me be clear I was only kidding (Was mocking the T-Spence Rumor for Rondo trade)

so was i ...

i was having fun with you.

 

[Telemachus]

who are these " Sources " you speak of?

The voices in his head.

 

[Jkbiker]

The voices in his head.

The Voices say

"Its TDOS"
"Its TDOS"
"Have another Beef Brisket Burger with deep fried jalepenos"

Please make them stop!!!!

 

[King Baller]

Unfortunately, the guy they gambled on was Collison.

I totally agree with your theme of young upcoming players, not established talents, is what the Kings should target.

One thing to remember is that Darren Collison is only 26 yo with 5 years in the NBA. He is just starting to come into his own. PG's often take years to reach their best play.

 

[kingsboi]

Apparently the Suns are more than ever looking to trade Bledsoe, I wonder where he can land though since no team was willing to fork out his demand of a max contract. Maybe a one year rental and then see if he can play more than 60 games.

 

[John Galt]

who knows... maybe Bledsoe could be done but PDA is holding out on the chance of a Rondo deal. I hope he does one of those, somehow.

Steve Nash comes to mind

 

[KingMilz]

We need to throw the everything including the kitchen sink to get Bledsoe, the dude gives 100% effort is a freak of nature

 

[LA King Fan II]

Problem is we lead with the kitchen sink and then throw in toiletries beyond their expiration dates.

I'd much rather have Bledsoe than Rondo. With Rondo there are the two BIG questions of would he want to stay here and can he stay healthy. Bledsoe is younger, healthier, and more likely to want to stay here due to his connection to DMC.

Not sure health is a selling point for Bledsoe.

Another is Goran Dragic, his game has really improved the last couple of years. He is 28 yo.

 

[King Baller]

Rondo and Bledsoe are both coming back from injury. Risk is involved trading for either player. Both have connections with players on the Kings. Both anticipate BIG contracts.

I lean toward Bledsoe because he is only 24. Either would make the Kings a threat for the playoffs in the West.

I support a deal for either player as long as Cousins, Gay and Stauskas remain Kings.

 

[63royals]

I should have done more research before sounding off. My bottom line is that, in all the talk we've had about Rondo, I don't think there's any way he's going to help our team for a long time. I could be wrong, but he strikes me as a big city guy who will look to get out of Sacramento as soon as possible (after collecting a big paycheck). And that's if he can stay healthy. Bledsoe, if things work out, could be a big part of our team for a long time, and the connection to Cousins makes that at least plausible.

 

[KingsCitizen]

Bledsoe's knees scares me.
The way Bledsoe is negotiating with the Suns gives me flashbacks of Eric Gordon before he got a big fat paycheck from New Orleans to just sit on their bench with his coat and tie.

He should just be fine with a Kyle Lowry kind of contract. Otherwise, I think we better stay put with Collison at the helm come opening night.

I agree with this and with Bledsoe he's a guy that you will never question his efffort towards winning (Rondo is the same) and it's these type of young/athletic/relentless types you HAVE TO gamble on

Over Rondo it is.

 

[sdballer]

Over Rondo it is.

Rondo had one major injury that he appears to be over. Bledsoe has had repeated injuries over the course of his young career.

LOL!

 

[KingMilz]

I'am kind of shocked the Suns did not offer Bledsoe for Monroe

Well if there's one fault in the current Suns regime it's that they don't seem to have a grasp on the big man's role on the roster, though it is possible that they could just be hoping that Alex Len starts to come into his own.

That's why they may consider a package of Ben McClemore, Carl Landry and D Will for Bledsoe.

Lets get it done PDA!

I'm sure whatever team we trade with will require stauskas.

 

[ockingsfan]

I don't think Kings would include Stauskas in any trade, unless you are getting superstar back.

Bledsoe has Phoenix in tough position, if he is demanding near max contract, most teams won't give them much in return. Considering any team can just sign him outright next year, if he signs qualifying offer now.

 

[ParniValjak]

I would love to see us get Bledsoe but I don't think we (i.e. Kings) are interested at all.

I can see other teams being able to offer better assets for Bledsoe. The suns may have to trade him at the deadline but the qo gives them time.

Are you saying Stauskas' value is on par with a Superstar?

 

[King Baller]

You don't trade that young guy for a PG with a twice injured knee. The Suns are only getting low ball offers. They are banking on Bledsoe folding and taking their offer or at the least settling for the QO.

 

[ockingsfan]

I think that if he accepts the qualifying offer, he gets a no trade clause. So, Phoenix would be looking to trade him, but he can deny any trade he doesn't like. PHO would have more options now in a sign and trade.
