The Suns offering him 11 million a year on a 4 year deal. He's looking for max, but, nobody is offering that.
The Suns are willing to settle at 12 million a year, but, no further.
Is there any indication of what is happening?
Is there still any team willing to max him?? I was sure he will be signed by now but there is almost no reliable information anywhere.

Wish there was a way we had the financial flexibility to do a S'n'T for him.
Well, there ain't, so, in the meantime go back and your mother some more.
12 million while Dirk and Duncan work for less? Old or not that is bull . what a dumbass job of negotiations by the players no wonder Lebron and Wade wanted Fisher and company fired.
Let's hug it out Cubby. I'm sorry for voting against you in whatever that EC thing was. I didn't put much thought into it one way or the other.

Apology accepted, Fin, and a fine bear hug exchanged.
Good fellow.
Not sure why Houston isn't all over that.
Yup, he'd be a huge upgrade over Beverly. I'd rather pay Bledsoe $15 million than the guy they just shipped out. Why else did they trade Jelemy Rin to the Rakers if not to use the cap space provided?
Just looked it up, and it seems like Houston can only offer about $12.1 million, so maybe that's it.
Ready yourself for the fight of your life, dj. They won't give him up easily. They get their back up here with little prompting. And their back is up over this. He does not want to be here and they're brazening it out nonetheless.
C'mon ta my house, dj, snag Blood.

And they'll come up empty like they have all offseason![]()
Bledsoe trying to be the poster boy for cashing in off limited flashes of potential:
They have to tread carefully here. This is how it began when they dealt originally with Joe Johnson. It ended up in a bitter divorce over what boiled down to $5 million and a lot of hurt feelings.
Not quite the same; 5M and 32M aren't really in the same ball park. Joe had proven himself a bit more, and didn't have the injury history... but you also have to remember the timing on it. The first, smaller deal that was offered was right after they blew their wad on Nash and Q. It was unknown if Johnson, who had been very inconsistant and meek when backing up Penny, would be able to maintain that level of play... if they had faith in Joe, they wouldn't have signed Q. By the time the team bucked all expectations, the deal that he originally wanted was no longer even an option for the team, and he forced his way to Atlanta, wanting to be a big fish rather then a team player, and derailed the le train before it had barely gotten started. I believe there was some friction between he and Amare; I remember thinking that there were opportunities to get the ball to Stoudemire that Joe passed up on. He made it clear that he did not want to be the 4th star, even though Steve was orchestrating and Marion was cleanup, and it would have been Amare and Joe reaping all the benefits.
They have room? They just signed Ish Smith to a 1 year deal. Seems rockets know they arent gonna get anyone good so they are just signing bottom feeders to fill their holes
Bledsoe is a loser tbh. Not sure why a shorter, tier Rajon Rondo has gotten so much hype tbh.
HOU still has about 11M in cap space (realistically).
Don't cloud the issue with meaningless details.
You'd love to see us "learn" from the mistake and attach a crippling max contract to an injury prone, over hyped, half broken guard, wouldn't ya.....
how are guards that can't shoot still getting hype in 2014, tbh?..
Wouldn't have to be, if they just signed Dragic instead of Lin.
Bledsoe is terrific, but he's not a max guy. What Phoenix offered is about right
