While it has become rather obvious in recent days that Bledsoe and the Suns both want to go their separate ways, the team coud benefit from offloading Chandler as well. The 35-year-old is in the third year of a four-year, $52 million deal. While he is still a decent rebounding and interior presence, the Suns have a number of young frontcourt players who could use his minutes instead.
It’s not the first time in recent months that the ex-Defensive Player of the Year Chandler has been rumored to be on the block, but the Bledsoe situation could be adding a sense of urgency for Phoenix to go all-in on their future.
