After Melodrama, who's the best shooting guard we can get?

[mostek]

Bledsoe is a really good player, and likely to receive a near max offer, out of the Bulls range. Stephenson is an above average player, but with the crazy factor making him more of a MLE player, affordable risk, unless a desperate team, pushes him above that level, but it only takes one.

Neither will be Bulls, but for completely different reasons.

I'd prefer Lance but either of these two would be great.

And both guys can shoot fine, and are still improving as shooters.

I think most would agree
Only issue seems to be the front office won't even consider anyone under 34 preferably with an injury history and not at a position of greatest need (SG)
Both of those guys are way too young, and offensive creators and secondary ball handlers. Bledsoe has an injury history so he might work.

I would prefer to see if Dragic can be had. My plans:

A. Melo
B. Love
C. Dragic/Mirotic
D. Lie in bed all day eating ice creaming and taking anti-depressants

Bledsoe is a PG, We already have ROSE and Bledsoe doesn't want to be a backup.

He was and is a combo guard with Dragic.

That's what he'll be here. He can defend against Beal. He's a good defender. He can start next to Rose like he is with Gorgan.

As much as I like Love, you pretty much have the next best thing in Mirotic coming over and at a much cheaper price. He's MVP for a reason.

Next best thing, seriously man? Love is a 25 and 12 guy. If Mirotic averages 15 and 7 in his prime, I'll be happier than a pig in ****.

I know this is not ideal but if we get a return to 11-12 defensively he's the better bet to guard 2s
If he's lost some lateral quicks it might just work better.

Lance is the best option as he's bigger and also UFA vs. RFA.
What are we giving PHO to make them want to do it?

[boozapalooza]

Can I throw out another name? Isaiah Thomas. Dude has improved every year, 20/6 last season, would be deadly in the backcourt with Rose.

you spelled Lance's name wrong

He also spelled Pippens name wrong as well.

Giving Phoenix?
I doubt we'd do a sign a trade for him unless it's Boozer.

I'm correcting everything. Don't worry. Multitasking over here.
