Morning Meltdown – Phoenix Suns Edition
By Mario Hicks
For this Morning Meltdown let’s take a look into some of the buzz surrounding the Phoenix Suns including more developments on Eric Bledsoe and the potential signing of Zoran Dragic.
There are officially only three weeks left until training camp starts. But one player might not be making it.
"“Eric Bledsoe’s whereabouts never have included Phoenix since the end of the regular season in April. Bledsoe has not even been close with his recent locales. He mostly has been training and with his family in his hometown of Birmingham. He popped into Atlanta a week ago for a party and workout with college buddy John Wall. He spent some of last week in Cleveland for a workout with LeBron James that was marked by James prodding the Suns with a “PHX break bread” Instagram post regarding Bledsoe, his fellow Klutch Sports Group client.Contract resolution with Bledsoe has seemed even more distant this summer. There has been no apparent movement since early July posturing that the Suns were willing to give Bledsoe a four-year, $48 million contract and that Bledsoe’s camp expected a five-year contract worth about $80 million. Bledsoe has not spoken with Suns staff since the season ended. Talks with his representation have been limited and unproductive. He also has not signed another team’s offer sheet, which the Suns were expected to match to keep him if he did.”"
