2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

If I were Cavs I'd offer Cavs 1st round (not the BKN), Frye (expiring), Shump (salary matching) and Zizic for Bledsoe.

Shump has been the 2nd unit PG, so this would effectively replace him with Bledsoe, a huge upgrade obviously.

Then, once IT gets back, I'd move Bledsoe to starting SG, JR to back to the bench replacing Korver in the 2nd unit.

Where could he go?

I would love OT if he ended up with the Bucks, 76ers or Pelicans.

Bucks seems like a real possibility. That would be cool. Pelicans would be a great fit too.

76ers apparently not interetsed.

Most rumors right now seem to be focused on Bucks, Nuggets, & Cavs (mainly cause of the Rich Paul connection I guess, but Bledsoe doesn't have a say really, so not sure it means much).

I wouldn't take that deal if I'm Phoenix.

That's like pick 25-30 and you have to eat Shump?

Hell no.

Brooklyn, 76ers have space.

76ers have space and assets.

.....Celtics have all that and more.

On a side note... that ass-kicking by the Magic might be a big blessing in disguise. Nudged Wade in the right direction (aka the bench).

Nuggets.....

I didn't think of them.

Manimal and Mudiay for Bledsoe........hmm

Yeah, its not an amazing offer. Depends on who else comes to the table and how desperate the Suns are to ship him out.

Celtics problem is matching salary. Don't think they have a way to send out enough salary without sending out a core piece.

Yeah....he wouldn't fit into the disabled player exception for the Celtics.

The main question is how much leverage will the Suns have.

If there are at least 2 teams that really want Bledsoe, that should give them enough leverage to get a fair deal.

If there's only 1 serious trade partner... their leverage is screwed. The whole league knows they have to trade him and they have to do it soon.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Gotta think the Suns need a pg in return.

Tyler Ulis, as much as I like his spunk, is not close to being a starter.

Maybe the Bucks can put a package together around Brogodon or the Nuggets around Mudiay.

If we had anything of worth, I'd love to have him back with the Clippers.

Outside of Blake, we don't.

The Pelicans could really use another guard who can shoot from the outside. Bledsoe will really be challenged to play more D wherever he goes.

Agree.

Should be interesting.

Knicks reportedly have reached out to the Suns.

Can't imagine Bledsoe would be overly happy with that.

Phoenix really Fucked themselves with the Isiah Thomas signing.

They alienated their starting pg, Dragic, which led to them trading Dragic and Thomas.

Now they are losing Bledsoe too.

Their GM is absolute crud for thinking that stupid 3 pg idea was gonna work full-time.

This team was 1 win from being a playoff Team and he screwed it up with small ball dreams.

Goddamn you being 1 second faster.....AGAIN!!

They gonna trade Porzingis?

I wouldn't want a single other player on that roster.

 

[Bolts]

I was gonna mention this, didn't take long to destroy that group. Not surprised that having 3 PG's who all wanna get a lot of minutes wouldn't work but all 3 wanting out is a bad sign.
