The Phoenix Suns are working the phones hard on Monday in an attempt to find a trade partner for disgruntled guard Eric Bledsoe.
Based on the most-recent turn of events in what has been a drama-filled past day, it’s highly unlikely Phoenix will ge fair-market value for the guard.
This hasn’t stopped the team from trying.
According to this one report, Phoenix reportedly asked the Knicks for rookie top-10 pick Frank Ntilikina as well as young center Willy Hernangomez.

That’s about as hilarious as it gets. Why would the Knicks, in the midst of a rebuild, even consider moving a rookie lottery pick for Bledsoe? And the fact that Phoenix threw in Hernangomez makes this that much more absurd.
Phoenix might want to move Bledsoe before the locker room dynamic becomes too cancerous after the firing of head coach Earl Watson. If that’s the case, it will have to lower what seem to be ridiculous trade demands right now.
