I have seen it. cant say its a fav, but if there isnt anything else on my basic channels i will watch it.
I dont want Bledsoe at all, he is not a good shooter at all and also isnt a pass first point guard.
They would probably want to pawn off Deandre Jordan and his bloated contract for Al Jefferson. Not sure whey they would want Paul with Blake on the team already. Also have to make the money match.
You do realize Bledsoe gets to the rim at will right? He's still young and developing. I've never been too concerned with my pg's being good shooters. He would be great with Favors in pick'n roll and will improve his shot.Another bledsoe thread?... i dont hink bledsoe is as good as every one thinks. i think if anyone on this board was the clippers PG the could look moderatly decent. heck if you air ball it grif or jordan jump up and grab it and they call it an assist. i think if he played in an enviroment where he was the main fiddle it wouldnt have such a nice sound.
not a shot blockeragain.. he is playing with two big shot blockers in jordan and grif. he is on a very well built team right now that makes his job much easier. i dont think he is a dimond in the rough. i think he is a part of these wedding bands you can buy now that are covered with little flakey dimonds. but when you take one of those flakey dimonds away from the ring it just dosent have the same glimmer. (this is and anolgy of bledsoe.) he looks better due to who is around him.
blake is still a defensive force. to bad they dont have a stat for altered shots. he contributes in the paint. pg know that he is there.
but i guess we wont know until he gets traded to another team and we get to see him get over paid to struggle and under achieve what so many though he was worth on a team full of good players.
We already have the top and third most "pass first" point guards in the NBA.

You need a player that can play. The guy averages 1.7 stls and .9 blocks (2.8 & 1.4 /36). He rebounds extremely well, is shooting 41.5% from three, and showed that he can pass the ball as well in the latter part of his starting role, where he started to thrive. He also drives extremely well. He had a game of 23 & 10, 17 & 9, followed by a 27, 6, 3, 6, 3 game. Bledsoe, Hayward, SF, Favors, and Kanter would be a very exiting starting group if nothing else and has the potential to be very good/great.
I totally agree. This pass first point guard obsession needs to stop. As long as we have a big man that can pass and another play maker (potentially Hayward) on the team, we should be good. A Dragic/Tony Parker/Bledsoe type pg on this team would be awesome.
Also agree. With Bledsoe the defensive potential would be off the charts. Who could score on us with Bledsoe, Hayward, Carroll, and Favors all being top notch defenders, and Burks, and Kanter being decent defenders. I would think that Millsap and a future pick would be enough to nab Bledsoe.
I didn't read every post, but when someone says something like "I laugh at everybody wanting Bledsoe, dudes overrated, IMO"
Then provides no reason why they believe his stats/play are a fluke, it lacks cred, imo.
Rep for anyone that thinks Bledsoe is not a good starting PG an states why ... With basketball sense.
Thanks. I didn't agree with everything you wrote, but enjoyed the read and it was a fair and reasonable post.
Repd
Damn your rep I can't say with a straight face that Bledsoe is overrated. I think he will be a future Allstar multiple times, and will be very good. I see him as a Westbrook in a shorter body.I didn't read every post, but when someone says something like "I laugh at everybody wanting Bledsoe, dudes overrated, IMO"

With a hint of Rondo.
Dude..
More like Nate Robinson.
I'd respond to you but I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference.
