Yeah, but what's in it for us?
Bledsoe's not a bad option if IT's hip really progressing as well as we hope.
I think I'd gamble on IT coming back healthy. We really do need great shooting.

LMAO!
As Kyrie Irving would say "Suck my dick!", Suns.
Chriss not good enough for the Suns but good enough for the Cavs (a top contender)???Bledsoe isn't a good player and he's fragile. His offensive stats are inflated playing in PHX and his defense is greatly overrated. I wouldn't give anything of value for Bledsoe. Booker and Jackson like you said arent moving.
Only deal with PHX I would explore would be buying low on Marquise Chriss who has fallen out of favor in PHX. Chriss is perfect in today's NBA he can hit 3s block shots and has solid upside.
So suns can want the Nets pick all they want but they won't get it.

I have no interest in trading a first round pick at all for Bledsoe.

Well, you can say that for everyone playing with a bad team. That they are able to inflate their stats as they get more touches etc.
We have seen Bledsoe play very well for good teams as well. Just a couple of years ago with Dragic and all. Granted its been few years but he is a better 3-point shooter now than he used to be those days. As for his defense being overrated, well may be it is. But, he is still a better defender than any guards we have and immediately becomes our 3rd best defender after LeBron and Crowder.
I disagree he makes splash plays on defense he doesn't actually play good man to man defense. Lonzo just abused him and Lonzo was shut down by Pat Beverley in Lakers first game and struggled against Jameer Nelson and Jrue last night vs Pelicans.
So his defense really isn't good he gets torched constantly but he will make a block or get a couple steals so people praise his defense. Yes he is a flashy player who makes exciting plays but overall he's not a good player.
Not even our own 1st round pick?
I know we have Rose and IT but if we can get Bledsoe for Shump + our own 1st round pick, I will do that happily. We can't really depend upon Rose because with the way he plays, he is bound to miss games with injuries unless we are really lucky.
IT also, we don't know how good he would be after the hip injury.
Not interested in dealing with a Klutch client who might end up benched/barely playing when IT comes back. He doesn’t fit great either and I don’t like the way he’s handled an admittedly tough situation in Phoenix.
Plus you lose the ability to trade the Bkn pick if we decide to go that route.
