Eric Bledsoe is done in Phoenix; he and the Suns both seem sure of that. The Detroit Pistons are one team interested in acquiring Bledsoe, reported Marc Stein of the New York Times:
League sources say Detroit should be added to the list of teams showing interest in Eric Bledsoe, but any deal would surely depend (CONT')

But any Bledsoe-to-Detroit deal would likely depend on what the Pistons would attach to Reggie Jackson to sell the Suns on doing such a swap

The Pistons offered Jackson and a first-round pick, reports Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders:
Pistons offered a package including Reggie Jackson and a first-round pick to the Suns for Eric Bledsoe, a league source told @BBallInsiders.

The Suns have no use for Reggie Jackson; he doesn’t fit with their timeline age-wise, and is in year three of a five-year, $80 million contract. Predictably, the Suns would rather not end up with Jackson, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski:
The Suns prefer a third team to take on Reggie Jackson in any potential Eric Bledsoe deal with the Pistons, league sources tell ESPN.
