Eric Bledsoe traded this off-season confirmed?

Remember last fall when we asked whether or not the Phoenix Suns should trade Eric Bledsoe? Well, the team has made their future known, with re-signing point-guard Brandon Knight to a new five-year, reportedly worth over $70 million. The Phoenix Suns lost Goran Dragić to South Beach after not being insured he would stay in the off-season and quickly snagged Knight in a three-team deal. Throughout his tenure with Phoenix in the last two months of the season, he was just limited to play and would soon have minor left ankle arthroscopic surgery.

The 23-year-old has been a favorite among the organization, averaging 17 points over the last two seasons and at the moment, looks forward to playing with the Bledsoe this fall. In related news, the Suns have also reached an agreement with defensive-specialist, Tyson Chandler – who keeps magically getting these big pay days. The new deal for the 32-year-old big is four-years and $52 million, according to league sources.

After learning his tenure with the Dallas Mavericks could be over with the team potentially landing DeAndre Jordan in free agency, Chandler quickly found a deal in the pacific division to join the front-court of Alex Len. While reporters have said, Tyson’s contract could be future trade bait, Chandler was present at Phoenix’s meeting earlier today with LaMarcus Aldridge to present him with a future.
