I don't buy that. This draft is full of big men, and most of the top PG prospects have asterisks next to them. The few PG prospects there are are combo guards, like Marcus Smart, or score-first types, like CJ McCollum. I'm just not that optimistic that there are many future floor generals in this draft.

Don't get me wrong though, I have a man crush on Marcus Smart just like QuantamMacguyver does.

Damn I'm tired. Drew maybe could QB this offense better than a few PGs on our roster, plus he's an experienced pro at taking minutes away from younger, better players. He'll fit in perfectly!

But Eric Bledsoe is still the truth.

Just make the Lowry deal, Lowry for Bell, Watson, UTA 1st, GSW 1st. Really fits both sides in my opinion

Do you want Foye as well?

i said "decent", not "stellar". i don't see a future nba elite pg in this draft, but there is definitely a wide selection of PGs who can be good nba players and run teams the right way. here is a list of PGs in this draft (not all of them fit the description i wrote but it just goes to show there are quite a few of them overall):

Michael Carter-Williams
CJ McCollum
Isaiah Canaan
Trey Burke
Deonte Burton
Erick Green
Nate Wolters (my man crush)
Ray McCallum
Pierre Jackson
Will Cherry
Leo Westermann
B.J. Young

and that's not including smart, who i also like but isn't a point guard. regarding mccollum, i think he has to score a lot playing for Lehigh. by all accounts he has a high BBIQ, and although he appears to be more of a scoring PG, he may also turn out to be more like lillard.

I dont see what the Clippeers have to gain by trading Bledsoe unless it's for a top notch C.

I could however see something like Alec Burks for Eric Maynor go down.

we all complain that mo can't run a team. well, bledsoe - while talented and contributes in other areas - can't run a team either. he is over rated.

and i really don't want to see a burks for maynor trade. i want to aim a bit higher than maynor for a long term solution to our starting PG spot, i think burks can be a better player than maynor, and we sure will look dumb if we got maynor back after we already had him.

I've been saying Millsap for Marion and Collison for months now...

I think Collison is the perfect guy for this team and I'm guessing he's very attainable from the Mavs.

Maynor is the 3rd pg now in OKC... I don't now if he is wasted or simply it's not what Brooks wants

Would you trade Favors for Jennings?

No way. I personally wouldn't trade for Jennings, period, so I'm certainly not giving up the most valuable asset on the Jazz roster for him.

As far as I can tell Jennings is like Mo Williams except he shoots more.

and shoots poorly. and wants to play in a big market.

With Mo being out indefinitely, would you do this trade

Bucks get: Millsap/Burks
Jazz get: Udoh/Udrih

I figure Udoh=Burks in value, so its basiclly Udrih for Millsap. Yes Millsap has more value, but Beno is a decent PG and expiring just like millsap

Dreadful trade for Utah, my friend. I don't think the Jazz and Bucks are ideal partners.

Two things would save this season, first firing Corbin, second getting Calderon, i guess both are not so hard to do
