Millsap for Bledsoe?

[nateboz]

The Jazz need to trade anyone of the old bigs. Bledsoe would actually fill a need. So on those grounds it'll never happen.

Great stuff MoTown. I got some sources for the Saints but none for the Jazz, so it's always fun to hear these things.

How can we do the Millsap for Bledsoe and TBD deal? That would put us over the 15 man roster that is allowed and I don't see us releasing anyone.

Millsap and Watson
for
Odom and Bledsoe.

I have no idea if the clipps are interested. We would potentially have to include a pick. And I for one would hope if we do it can be a future pick with some protection on it.

Why? If anything Odom+Bledsoe have less value than Bledsoe by himself.

... we covered this. We needed to include another player from the Clippers to make the numbers work. Odom seems to be who they don't want.

Because Millsap makes >8M dollars and Bledsoe makes <2M dollars. We have to have contracts match up. Odom is in the last year of his deal. We would probably just cut him or Raja Bell him.

Also we may have to include some compensation in case Millsap leaves them after the season (highly likely).

Oh. That makes sense.

I am not into this if the Jazz have to include a first-rounder. Maybe I'm nuts.

How can you call yourself a true armchair gm if you can't even figure that one out? Just sit back and leave this to the professional armchair gm's.

Bro, can't you see he was trying to get us to reach up to his level?

Would that really stop you from making the trade? As I see it, Bledsoe has quite a lot of upside, we'll get a whole year to evaluate him before an extension, and we don't get too young (which IMO is actually a danger if we don't bring back a couple of vets, not trying to go full Wizards here) like we might with 2 more 19-21 year olds.

I wouldn't mind Millsap/1st/Filler for Bledsoe/Filler. Worst case scenario you can flip Bledsoe at the trade deadline in a year if he doesn't fit with the culture of the team or you want to go a different direction. The roster would also be balanced enough that the Jazz could truly take the best player at any position in the draft.

Make the damn trade already!!!

Did I say that out loud? Just want this trade to happen. To me it means the jazz are committed to the future.
