I like the move of Irving for Bledsoe and Jackson. I think Shumpert would be more important to the Cavs against the Warriors as a perimeter defender than Chandler would be (Cavs still do need a backup center but can sign one like Bogut, Mcgee Splitter or someone) so I'm not sure about that part. It makes sense for Suns tho since it opens minutes at center and gives them a solid backup sg.

Jackson is a good perimeter defender and Bledsoe is an upgrade on defense over Irving. And of course Chandler is an upgrade at defense over Frye and offers rebounding and rim protection.

Jaw- the question is-do you give up Bledsoe AND Josh Jackson for 2 yrs of Kyrie? He already stated his preferred landing spots. Phoenix isn't one of them.

Suns confirmed today. they are not including Josh Jackson in any deal. So. nope. Cleveland source told a PHX media when told no Jackson in a Kyrie deal. "Next. "

That would be a great return for Cleveland.

This could be great for the Suns unless J Jackson turns into a superstar.
