A star has been born in Phoenix for the Suns with point guard Eric Bledsoe. The goal for the Suns will be to keep Bledsoe in Phoenix as he stated to Adam Green of ArizonaSports.com:

"“He’s played well enough and is deserving enough of an extension where I think it would be a waste of time for another team to throw an offer at him and tie up their cap space while other free agents are going off the board.”"

Compared to Lowry, Bledsoe hasn’t proved to be on that elite level as of yet, but he is still a tremendous talent that could be a good fit for the Knicks.

He will be a restricted free agent, so the Suns have the chance to match any offer made to Bledsoe. Since they do have both the cash and the chance to match any offer it may be difficult to land him in New York, but it’s not exactly impossible.

Once again, a sign-and-trade deal becomes a possibility in this case and the Knicks do have a few guys who put together that could help make a deal happen.
