Eric Bledsoe

Is he the defensive back up PG we need?

Nah but Olshey did draft him. He just doesn’t make sense financially. Ball is a better fit.

I can't see any realistic trade that makes sense bot on the floor and on the salary cap. No sense in paying a backup PG 18 million a year

I know this isn't the thread for this but you're right unless that PG is PG13. I know the guy has had his struggles in the playoffs but I'd love to have him on the team and for just 18M per season. Sign me up. In all seriousness though. We just need someone who can competently run an offense. Right now if Dame and CJ are healthy it really doesn't make much sense to have a point guard that makes much more than the minimum or BAE at most.

Lonzo Ball? Why? There is zero chance he’d be back in Portland next year considering the crappiness of this summer’s FA class. Olshey isn’t matching a $17-20 million/year contract he’ll get from someone.

I don’t think Ball is available anymore. That’s why they’re trading Bledsoe.
