Bledsoe played for the Phoenix Suns for the past three years now. Entering his fourth year in a Suns uniform, Bledsoe's starting role is in jeopardy. That's because the Suns have overloaded guards on their roster who are all capable of a starting role. Aside from Eric Bledsoe, the Suns have Brandon Knight, Devin Booker and Leandro Barbosa. For this reason, Bledsoe might be traded.
It is still unclear whether the Phoenix Suns are really entertaining the idea of trading away Eric Bledsoe. But according to YIBADA, the Boston Celtics might propose a trade to the Suns using Avery Bradley as the trading chip.
Eric Bledsoe is the 18th Overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. But on that same night, he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. He spent 3 years with the Los Angeles Clippers as a back-up point guard to All-Star Chris Paul. Then he became a starter for 3 years with the Phoenix Suns.
During his 6 years with the NBA, he average 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 steals in 352 career games, per wikipedia.
Known for his speed, ball-handling skills and scoring ability, he could be a big boost for the Celtics. Teaming up with All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas in the backcourt seems to be a great fit. With Thomas and Bledsoe in the starting line-up, they could play as a combo guard and create a speedy backcourt for the Celtics.
Can the Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics work out a deal that would send Eric Bledsoe to the Boston Garden? The Phoenix Suns seems hesitant to trade Eric Bledsoe given Bledsoe's value to the team. But the Boston Celtics have plenty of assets to deal with for Bledsoe.
