Fantasy Basketball: 5 Reasons Why You Should Trade PG Eric Bledsoe

Eric Bledsoe could be viewed as a legitimate fantasy basketball option considering the recent trades of Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas, but I am going the other way with this. Trade Bledsoe now while other owners in your league think he will blow up, and maybe you can grab a more efficient option.

Brandon Knight was having a season to be proud of with the Milwaukee Bucks, but he is now on the Phoenix Suns. Will this affect Eric Bledsoe's touches? I say yes.

This may not be a great reason to trade an individual player, but the Suns will struggle to put up big numbers without Dragic and Thomas. Will this cause Bledsoe's numbers and efficiency to improve? I am not convinced.

Your fantasy basketball league might have a real competitive playoff battle, but your team could struggle mightily if the Suns decide to rest Bledsoe down the stretch in favor of some younger, inexperienced players.

The Suns have an absolutely brutal schedule in the next two months against mainly Western Conference opponents, and they will most likely miss out on a playoff spot. This might cause some inefficient basketball from their players. Don't you see Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook leading the Oklahoma City Thunder on a late season run?

This remains the main reason to trade the PG. Bledsoe looks likely to get injured again, and this is especially true when you consider how much usage he will get in the coming months. Exchange him for a better asset before it is too late.
