^Where's this guy going to get traded to?

Will Booker book this season as his most efficient so far? Is Warren starting long-term or will he start to have long-term head injuries? Can Chriss rebound from his bad start of the year? Do you think Josh Jackson's hair is affecting his shot? If we start Bender, will the Dragon inside him come out? Will someone Len Alex a hand?

Stay tuned, only time will tell.

The Washington Post is more credible than Sarver. Hands down.

That means he's looking for more money.

I'm trying to work on a million Bledsoe deals.

Who says no:

Suns get Favors, Frye, Exum (all expirings), UTA protected 1st (say top 20)

Cavs get Bledsoe, Chandler, Neto

Jazz get Love

Love gives them that scorer to pair with Gobert and another 3pt shooter to spread the floor.

Suns get expirings and can plug Favors at C, which is where he should be anyway, but he's obviously not as good as Gobert. Exum they try to repair him and go from there. Frye's another good locker-room guy, or waive so he goes to a contender.

Cavs get Bron's bud and a defensive (well, the shell of one) big who can start at C and rebound/outlet.

Cavs probably say no cos LeBron/Rich Paul won't want Bledsoe anywhere near the Cavs' mess once LBJ bolts next summer...

And another one - this takes some skill - getting all 3 teams involved to have negative wins after it in the trade machine haha

Suns get Harkless, Frye, Vonleh (last 2 are expiring)

Cavs get Bledsoe, Chandler, Aminu, Davis

Blazers get Love, Shumpert

I can see Love fitting nicely on Portland - he'd be 3rd banana and could still do 18-10 there, easily.

Harkless is a useful player who defends well, is still young and at worst, he could fetch a 2nd from a contender potentially.

Cavs get 4 guys who can defend - Aminu is underrated and Ed Davis is as well.

Why would we trade Bledsoe for Harkless. Yuck.

Much smaller deal and one that could happen...

Bulls get Bledsoe, DJones Jr
Suns get Dunn, Valentine and Portis

Ugh it is ugly I know - but I'm sure we can snag a protected pick.

But look at some of the hauls for far superior players than Bledsoe recently - Melo, PG13, Cousins...Bledsoe is not and never has been on their levels, plus his injury history trumps them all - even with the George leg break!

Let's go simple Eric Bledsoe for Derrick Favors and a Utah first round pick. Done.

I’m ok with it for us. I think the value is fine for Utah, provided they’re committed to getting better now. I think Cleveland would maybe be a little disappointed with the return.

Rubio is not better than Bledsoe. Neither is Mitchell though obviously he has more value due to age. Rubio is the most overrated PG of all time when it comes to fan boards. Barely ahead of the always wanted Rajon Rondo. If your shooting is so bad that you have to pass to even be passable in this league it is a guarantee that fans on these boards will pine for you.

Remember 3 games ago when this thread was arguing about playoffs?

On the plus side, great loss for the tank. Top 5 is ideal because it guarantees one of Ayton, Bamba at worst, but top 3 would be even better because this team could really use the playmaking of Doncic, Porter, or Bagley. It would force a big lineup though (probably Booker, Doncic or Jackson, Jackson or Porter, Chriss, Bender) but I think that could work so long as Jackson can guard the 1's.

I might take Rubio right now. At least he would pass the ball.
