New extension for Aldridge.

Quote:


Spurs' LaMarcus Aldridge has reached agreement on a three-year, $72.3M contract extension, league sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 16, 2017

Deal includes partial guarantee in third-year, league sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 16, 2017

Aldridge extension starts in 2019-'20. He will opt into his $22.3M for 2018-'19 season and will be signed through the 2020-'21 season.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 16, 2017

Piecing this together, Aldridge is exercising a $22,347,015 player option for 2018-19. That means his extension is worth $50 million over two years will carry him through age 35. All in all, Aldridge is now under contract for four more seasons

Rodney Hood and Dante Exum will both be heading into RFA at the end of the year, as they couldn't get deals done with the Jazz.

Do we post stuff about potential transactions in this thread or is this specifically for official moves?

Didn’t really make it with one purpose in mind. Y’all can post whatever you want in here, lol.

But yeah, I’m guessing he’ll be wearing a different uniform by this time next year, if Magic is hellbent I’m getting his other star. Same with Randle too.

Sounding like Bledsoe is getting his wish

Quote:

In a shocking twist, the Suns firing Earl Watson did not end the dysfunction in Phoenix.

Chris Haynes of ESPN:

ESPN Sources: Eric Bledsoe met with team this morning before shootaround and he was sent home. He will not play tonight against Sacramento.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) October 23, 2017

John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7:

Eric Bledsoe was sent home by GM Ryan McDonough today and will not play tonight.

— John Gambadoro (@Gambo987) October 23, 2017

Bledsoe while not certain does not expect to play for the Suns again after being sent home.

— John Gambadoro (@Gambo987) October 23, 2017

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN:

Sources: Suns engaged in trade talks w/ several teams on Bledsoe. Phoenix soliciting offers with expectation he’s on move elsewhere. https://t.co/mj4raCATlp

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) October 23, 2017

Bledsoe:

Good morning

— Eric Bledsoe (@EBled2) October 23, 2017

That is a first-rate tweet by Bledsoe. It’s great that he’s having fun with the wild situation, because the rest of us sure are amused peering in.

This was always going to be a long season in Phoenix, but things got out of hand in a hurry. The 0-3 Suns have been outscored by 92 – the worst three-game start in NBA history by 16 points. Now, comes the fallout.

At 27, Bledsoe was getting to be a little too old for a rebuild centered on Devin Booker, Josh Jackson, Marquese Chriss, Dragan Bender and T.J. Warren. The Suns could have dealt Bledsoe in the offseason. Now, they’re negotiating from a position of weakness.

Bledsoe is a good starting point guard when healthy. He’s earning a reasonable $14.5 million this season and due $15 million in the final year of his contract next season. There should be suitors, and Phoenix can gain long-term assets while stepping up its tank.

But this sure seems like a crisis-control move more than anything else.

Anywhere but Denver, please.

Milwaukee wouldn't be a bad spot for him
