Suns talking with Eric Bledsoe about extension

The Phoenix Suns are currently in talks with newly acquired guard Eric Bledsoe on a long-term contract extension. Bledsoe was traded to the Suns this offseason by the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Suns are in an interesting spot because they've only seen the Kentucky product in training camp and a few preseason games, and it's still uncertain that he will become the star many project him to be.

"If we're not able to work out a deal (by Oct. 31), we would start next summer with Eric as a restricted free agent, but obviously we're hoping to get something done before that," general manager Ryan McDonough said.
