NBA trade rumors suggest that Eric Bledsoe of the Phoenix Suns will be traded off. According to a new report, the point guard's agent Rich Paul is pushing for Bledsoe to be moved.
It is being said that Bledsoe is headed to the Philadelphia 76ers, which are also looking to acquire Ben Simmons of LSU (also represented by Paul) for number one overall pick.
It is unclear which player the Sixers is prepared to trade off to the Suns to acquire Bledsoe, but the names of Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor, who are both top free agents that teams will be all over in the NBA trade, are being mentioned.
There are reports that Bledsoe is headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers. As per ESPN Insider Chad Ford, the point guard will end up working with Carmelo Anthony and Robin Lopez, who are reportedly moving out of New York Knicks to the said team.
Meanwhile, there are new details about the plans of the Suns for its number 4 overall pick. According to John Gambodoro of 98.7 FM ArizonaSports, there are four contenders for the spot—Buddy Hield, Jamal Murray, Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss.
However, Bright Side of the Sun believes that Hield, who is a superstar shooting guard from Oklahoma, will be the perfect pick as far as the team's plans for playoffs are concerned.
The site thinks that getting Hield to the Suns will mean goodbye for Brandon Knight. The publication adds that Knight will still be at the trading block even if the Phoenix went for Murray.
Speaking of which, there have been various reports earlier this month about the interest of the Philadelphia 76ers to trade with the Phoenix Suns.
The former is reportedly making it happen by feigning interest for Murray for number one overall pick to strike a deal with the Suns.
Rumor has it that the Sixers are Philadelphia will be going for either Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram in the number one overall pick, but the inclusion of Murray's name is just reportedly for show.
