How? He'd backup Dame and CJ and would get 28 minutes just from that. Would probably get another 3min playing with them in super small lineups. He'd get his PT.

We already have Evan Turner doing a much better job at that. And it's nice to have ONE guard who's not undersized.

Bledsoe plays much bigger than his size. He's a tank. The theoretical second unit would be Bledsoe/CJ/Turner/PF/Davis. I don't see the problem? Only issue would be Bledsoe's acceptance of role.

If we had him would he help to wear out the defense of all the amazing guards in the league? I wouldn't want to give the kitchen sink for him but if the deal was right he could really help us win some games.

Is giving Harkless, Meyers and Bazz for Bledsoe and Dudley giving away the kitchen sink?

Man it’s too bad Bledsoe can’t play large minutes as the 2 guard next to Dame or this could REALLY open up some future trade possibilities.

He played an entire season at the two guard when they had Dragic.... but he's only 6'1, so I don't know.

I don't see why he couldn't play next to dame, he's a much better defender than CJ despite being shorter.

I said that mostly because of his height but I honestly have no idea what his length is like or his ability to play against larger guards. I know hes strong as fuck tho.

I’m intrigued about his ability to play the 2 guard next to Dame because if AD becomes available and we can land him for CJ and picks I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat. A Dame, Bledsoe, ?, AD, Nurk lineup makes my pants tight.

Sounds good in theory but I'm not sure I trust Bledsoes knees like that. His best role going forward in his career is as a sixth man on a playoff team imo.

question; is Bledsoe really any better than the Evan Turner we are seeing "so far" this year? and given his size I'd suggest Turners D more valuable as he cab guard multiple positions, do we really need him?

Playing him and Turner a lot would be perfect.

I have a feeling that a lineup of
Bledsoe
Dame/CJ
Turner
Harkless
Davis/Collins
Would be a very nice smallball lineup.
 
Bledsoe has a 6'8 wingspan and is extremely strong. He can play SG.

Don't see why they would want Harkless as they have Jackson and Warren. Would rather give away picks.

Yeah. He needs to go the Eric Gordon route.
 
Aminu + Davis + Future 2nd for Bledsoe + Reed

Rotation
Dame - Bledsoe
CJ - Pat C
ET - Harkless
Vonleh - Swanigan
Nurkic - Collins

Talk of putting Hark at PF is counterproductive to our strategy. We just drafted 2 of those.

It shouldn't happen. Let someone else take Bledsoe. He ain't that good.

He probably isn't a good fit, but he is a career 17.8 PER guard...

...boy, Neil Olshey's got a really strict type when it comes to guards; he's like Jimmy Stewart handing out dresses in Vertigo.

Collins isn't ready for minutes at center imo. You ready for Meyers to get a 600th chance?
 
Who I would give up? Shabazz obviously would be expandable but I think they'd ask for Pat. They need forwards and they'd probably ask for Leyman which is the most expandable in a win now mode and I'd give them Vonleh and try to keep Meyers. I also would consider accepting Whats his name their older Center for the trade exception (edit: Tyson Chandler) which makes sense for them financially. If they ask for anything else it's a deal breaker other than maybe replacing Layman with one of Aminu or Harkless. It would be a win now move but i think it's about time we make this step.

You're hilarious. Anything more than Napier, Connaughton, Layman, or Meyers is a deal breaker? Le sigh...
