Report: Suns looking to move Bledsoe, draft Dunn
The Phoenix Suns are once again looking to reshuffle their ranks at point guard.
Sean Deveney of the Sporting News reports that the Suns will put Eric Bledsoe on the trading block as they hope to select Providence PG Kris Dunn with their No. 4 pick in Thursday's NBA Draft.
The Suns are hoping to add some frontcourt help as well, Deveney adds.
Moving Bledsoe, however, won't be easy on account of his three knee surgeries. He had surgery to repair his right meniscus in 2011 before having it removed altogether in 2014. This season, Bledsoe went under the knife yet again to fix his left meniscus.
Injuries aside, Bledsoe remains a strong two-way option at point guard on a team-friendly contract that pays him $44 million through the 2018-19 season.
The 26-year-old is a dogged defender and put up 20.4 points, four rebounds. 6.1 assists, and two steals per game while shooting 37.2 percent from the field in 31 games this past season.
