Millsap for Bledsoe?

Bledsoe is a slashing point guard. The only part of his game that's off is his shooting ability - but I'm confident he will improve on his jumpshot. I do this trade in a heartbeat: Bledsoe instantly makes this team more exciting with his spectacular dunks and his ability to get up and block shots at the rim. I hate to see Millsap go, but I've got a feeling Bledsoe is going to become a player in this league in the next few years. Sign me up.

Bledsoe - Burks - Hayward .... not bad but pretty iffy on the 3pt shot am I wrong?

Hayward is a very good 3pt shooter. Burks has shown a lot of promise, especially as his pt has increased.

Bledsoe is dreadful. I don't mind a Millsap for Bledsoe trade, but this isn't the trade that makes us great. Bledsoe has a TON of potential...so do a lot of other players. He could easily bust out at this point. He isn't a pg at all at this point. He needs to realize that and work a TON on his game to be a starting pg on a contending team. That being said, if the option is Bledsoe vs a pg in the draft, I'll take Bledsoe.

Plus, having him come to Utah and fight it out with Mo for the starting pg spot might be good for him. This is one situation where Corbin might actually help a player with his silly player development ideas.
 
I don't know if anyone here has watched him play. We don't need more chuckers on this team. We need a pg who can create and get the ball to favors, kanter, burks, and Hayward.

Shooting is a big part of this game. Interestingly, he shot 42.4% FG his rookie season and he attempted 116 3PT. His sophomore campaign, he played 1/2 the number of games, but shot 38.9 while attempting only 30 3PT (logically, one would think his FG would increase because he shot less 3PT, but it declined). This year, he's shooting 45.3%. Seems he declined and is now improving. Some odd numbers. Seems his shooting isn't terrible. He's also averaging 1.6 ST, .9 BLK and 3.1 REB, all in 21 MPG. Not too bad. His upside is probably one notch below an all star level PG, sort of like Millsap is one notch below an all star level PF. Maybe more of an even trade than I thought.

I would rather either resign Millsap or let him walk. Trading him nearly guarantees that inking Big Al is priority #1 this offseason.

What if it also includes Al traded for Splitter and Patty Mills?

I Don't think Millsap or Jefferson are in the long term plans for this franchise. They are not Building blocks and are both going to be overpaid this off season. So not getting something for one because you are afraid of what happens with the other one is silly.
 
I don't see how this guy is any less of a PG than Mo. Mo (to me) is really not a PG either. He shoots too much and passes too poorly to really be an ideal PG for this team going forward. For that matter I think Burks is a preferable PG to Mo as he has actually shown the ability to be a decent Passer.

In fact, the Miller's tightwadedness may prevent a deal from getting done. Had they just paid Roger and let him go, they'd have an extra roster spot open to swing 2-1 deals.

That makes no sense. They could STILL pay Roger and let him go. Probably in about 5 minutes, if they wanted to. It's not at all a factor in getting 2-1 deals done.

But you know they won't. Greggy is too vindictive, just like his old man. He doesn't want to give away free money. What's probably holding up some trade proposals is the Jazz' insistence that Braille be part of the deal. Then they can show how smart they were by holding on to his salary until the deadline.

Stupid, they're already giving away the free money. They're paying Bell. They just don't want to pay him to play for someone else, you see? But I hardly think doing so would be a hangup in any major deals. That's such a ridiculously unfounded inference you've draw from the situation.

Those inferences have made up 90% of Motown's post over the past few weeks.
 
Would do Millsap and the lower of the first rounders without too much hesitation. Now that Billups is back, you have to figure the Clips would be willing to trade Bledsoe if the right deal came along. Millsap is the next best big available after Garnett, who said he won't wave his no trade clause. I'm thinking this could have legs.
