Interesting. Does this means the Wolves are giving up on Pretty Ricky?

I would, there were rumblings that he was going to ask for the max if I remember correctly.He was gone anyways you may as well be proactive and get his replacement now.
But not this guy and not for that much.
This is a part of the LeBron trade rich Paul you aren't slick.
Rich Paul spends an entire off season "mis managing Eric Bledsoes contract talks" , LeBron then engineers a trade between the Cavs and Wolves then now all of a sudden the wolves what to throw money at Bledsoe? Yeah ok

Minny balks at giving Love the max then turns around to offer it to Bledsoe (after wanting to save it for Rubio). Different management, but same ownership. Amazing.

Whose in the S&T? 
Cue the Suns insider guy who called something like this about a month ago.

The Suns definitely want Lavine to be included in that deal

How does that logically follow? Why would Minnesota offer Bledsoe the max in return for losing Kevin Love?
Teams like Minnesota have to take risks, and I think that this one could be a good one. Definitely worried about spacing with that squad, though.

@WojYahooNBA: Yahoo Sources: Phoenix has no interest in Eric Bledsoe sign-and-trade discussions with Minnesota. http://t.co/fob5uaupDV

Huh?
Love was eligible for a five year-$80M extension in 2012. Minny didn't want to offer him the max because they wanted to save it for Rubio, so he settled for a four year-$60Mish extension. Now here we are.
But none of that matters because Minny was never that interested in Bledsoe as Windhorst reported.

Love asked to be traded and said he's leaving Minnesota and would sign somewhere else after this season if he had stayed in Minny. So they traded him and got assets for Love instead of letting him walk for nothing.
How does that logically follow? Why would Minnesota offer Bledsoe the max in return for losing Kevin Love?Because they landed Wiggins and Bennett? Just doesn't make much sense.
Teams like Minnesota have to take risks, and I think that this one could be a good one. Definitely worried about spacing with that squad, though.
I'm thinking Minnesotas looking for that young core: Rubio, Bledsoe, Wiggins, Bennett
But why get another guard? When you have Rubio, Lavine (just drafted), and then they just signed Mo williams too.
They could roll out with:
PG:Rubio
SG: Bled
SF:wiggins
PF:Young

You wouldn't`t get rid of Rubio and replace him with Bledsoe, especially after watching how well him and dragic worked together, you just keep both, they both can defend either guard spot.

As good as Bledsoe is when he`s healthy you this feels like an Eric Gordon situation waiting to happen.

Bledsoe might as well compromise with the Suns and sign for three years with an opt out after two. That's the go-to contract for free agents and teams that don't quite love each other enough, but don't want to breakup either.

Yep. Like Gordon, Bledsoe hasn't had a fully healthy season yet.

I would take the risk and go qualifying offer, then be unrestricted next year. Huge gamble, but I could be a big payoff.

He's played 2 full seasons though.
Worried about him getting his miniscus taken out though word to Wade.
