  • Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe Requests Trade: Two Potential Trade
    Phoenix Suns’ Eric Bledsoe Requests Trade: Two Potential Trade Partners Author : Andrew Parrish The NBA Twitter-sphere has been ablaze over the weekend due to the recent tweets and reports regarding the status of Eric Bledsoe’s relationship with the Phoenix Suns organization. The Suns, who have had a rocky 0-3 start behind the worst point-differential in the last 10 seasons over the first 3 games of a season, have been the worst team in the NBA, and it’s not really close. Bledsoe, arguably the best two-way player on the Suns, was not happy with how the direction of the franchise was headed, and finally decided to tweet out his frustrations publicly. Considering the relative weakness in Phoenix’s position and ability to negotiate a more fair package to 1 / 3 offload Bledsoe, here are a few potential suitors for Bledsoe’s services, as well as a potential package that each would send to Phoenix. Milwaukee Bucks Receive: Eric Bledsoe Send: John Henson, 2018 first round pick (lottery protected in 2018 and 2019, converts to 2020 and 2021 second-round picks if not conveyed), cash This trade is one of the better packages that the Suns can hope to get out of Bledsoe. John Henson is a serviceable defensive power forward option that can play at both the 4 and the 5, which Phoenix could use in a desperate way. They are allowing a league-worst 58.5 eFG%, as well as a league worst defensive rating of 120.8, which is on pace to be the worst defensive rating in league history, which has been tracked back as far as 1973.

Contact: [email protected] Luke Kornet remembers watching the 2017 NBA Draft at his home. As names were called and picks were finalized on that June evening, he knew that he wouldn’t be drafted. Then he was called by his agent. Kornet’s agent, Jim Tanner, called him with many offers but none presented the same elements as the two-way contract that the Knicks offered him. As they mulled offers the two “went through all the possible options,” said Kornet, a former Vanderbilt standout who in 2017 set the NCAA record for three-pointers made by a 7-footer. “The two-way really seemed like a good option of staying in the states and making a solid income and also staying in front of a team and hopefully end up being called up in the year.” What is a Two-Way? After the NBA and its players’ union renewed the collective bargaining agreement in January 2017, in came lots of changes. The two sides agreed on a shortened preseason, new maximum contracts for veteran players and the introduction of two-way player contracts.

  • John Caliparicomes to Kentucky with a Huge Contract, a Banner Recruiting
    COLLEGE BASKETBALL PREVIEW The Very Best of Enemies John Calipari comes to Kentucky with a huge contract, a banner recruiting class and a history with the state’s other big ego, Rick Pitino | BY GRANT WAHL n the spring of 1988, during his first season coaching the New York Knicks, Rick Pitino made an emergency trip to his alma mater, the University of Massachu- setts. Pitino was on the search committee for a new UMass basketball coach, and he’d learned that athletic director Frank McInerney had soured at the last min- ute on the consensus choice—a 29-year-old Pittsburgh assistant named John Calipari—after hearing concerns about Calipari from a prominent coach. “Look, people have enemies in this game,” Pitino says he told the AD. “You can’t change your mind because one coach calls and says these things. That means he’s worried. If I he’s worried about this guy, then that’s a good thing.” Photograph by ED reINKE/AP Debate ensued. Finally, Pitino recalls, McInerney came around. “O.K., I’ll go with Calipari,” he said, “but we have one problem, Rick. I offered him a $63,000 salary. We only have [$58,000]. If you’ll write a check for $5,000, we’ll stick with our original decision.” “Fine, I’ll send it to you,” said Pitino. “No,” said McInerney, whose department was BLUE HEAveN After four seasons without strapped for cash. “I have to have it now.” These even a Sweet 16 appearance, days Pitino can’t help but laugh as he tells the story.
