Official Trade Thread: The Block Is Hot!!

[Sunsdeuce]

rich athletes giving other rich athletes extravagant gifts.... that's all.

For attention or love, we will never know lol.

Be nice if he actually used all that money he flaunts on something good instead being a horrible human being. There are plenty of disabled vets, homeless, and other good causes that could use one half of 1/3 of one of those stacks of money.

That's America man. People guard their wealth the way they guard their life.

I would like to think there are actually good people out there that have money. I know that low class individual does not represent this country.

All those guys can shoot the ball but Bledsoe jump shot is just simply awful. Hornacek needs to help him with his shooting just like he did with Wesley Matthews.

Are you serious? Westbrook is a terrible shooter. He's shooting less than 30% from three!
Tyreke also has a terrible jumper.
The fact that Bledsoe's can average 17 PPG with slightly less than 13 shots per game is ridiculously efficient. I will agree though that Bledsoe needs to work on his jumper still, but it isn't as awful as those two guys. Plus, I think Bled's shot mechanics just needs to be slightly adjusted but it can definitely improve.

A better shot would be nice but it's clear scoring isn't his problem. It's running a team and playing within the system. This 20s dribbling and 5s of making moves isn't going to work.

Bledsoe doesn't have a jumper. He has a set shot. Everything else is scored on drives & FTs.

Same with Wade and DeRozan.

That's what I don't get when people say "Goodwin has to become a good shooter otherwise he won't get playing time".

Like wtf, where in the NBA rule book does it say "You must be a good shooter to get playing time in the NBA"?

It's more than just being able to shoot. It's about competition. We're stacked at the 1 and 2 and there's nothing Goodwin does that he does better than any of the players we have at the 1 and 2. If he could shoot, he could take Green minutes at the 2.

Wade is a fantastic ball handler/ shot creator and a fantastic passer. His defense was also All-NBA.

Derozan was a proven scorer out of college and he played on a team where the only player at his position was Marco Bellinelli

Goodwin can to the FT line better than Green. Goodwin's also a better defender than Green already and has the potential to be an All NBA type defender due to his athleticism and length. Goodwin also has better handles than Green (then again, I think Plumlee and Len probably have better ball handling than Green so its not saying much).

Shooting the ball is the only thing that Green is better than Goodwin at.

Hmmmmmm....... I haven't heard anything about Bled being hurt. Also, he's young so he shouldn't need a rest, especially with the All Star Break right around the corner.

Either Eric is banged up, or he is being included in a block buster trade.

He's young and he's already showed some of that

Does his potential plays on the defensive end outweigh the potential points we get from Green? Not from what I've seen. Goodwin's ability to get to the line is impressive for a young guy but I think he gives up too much everywhere else offensively. Goodwin has better handles but he's not good enough to create his own shot consistently. Remember, this is a PG-centric system, non-PG's is expected to handle the ball. Goodwin's ball handles isn't really needed which is why it's not a huge deal Green isn't required to create on his own (probably a good thing).

Yes it's confirmed his wife had a baby. Damn I thought he was a goner.

[Cutter]

I didn't know Bledsoe was even married. Thought he was a single ladies man.

Haha me either.

Don't think he's married. Side note.. Bledsoe's GF and IT's fiancee are close friends. Heard they always have double dates. That's good for chemistry on court with Bled and IT. Seem to get along good

I remain awestruck that there are people out there that think our 3 guards are the problem with this team. Those 3 are the reason we're in the hunt in the first place.
