Millsap for Bledsoe?

Does anyone honestly think Jefferson is a Jazz type player?

Not to burst the bubble of everyone here but how many trades that are announced in public before they happen, do the Jazz actually follow through with?

Brewer for a pick.

Brewer for a pick.

And the great Numb wins again.

BTW, Bledsoe is wildly overrated and not a PG. Given the scenario (a potential complete loss of an asset), it's a good move. Beyond that, color me "meh".

The thing I like about this trade is that it obviously makes sense for both teams. If Millsap is the difference between pretender and contender just for this season, it's hard to say this is a bad move for them. And I think it does make them that.

Didn't see it before he was here, saw it even less when he got here, and still haven't seen it.

Millsap for Bledsoe better than doing nothing.
Free up time for Favors Kanter.
Get a young PG prospect.
Gives more draft options this year.
Cut Watson. Give him a coaching position for rest of year.

He is definitely a "bad fit" but i don't know how Jazz' front office think about that.

They HAVE to. The only question is how much that enters the equation of "good guy" and crutch for a team without an offense (which is chicken/egg to an extent).

I can get down on the org, but they're not imbeciles.

Same. Just trying to poke holes on the "Bledsoe is not a Jazz type player" argument.

Maybe this is how the Jazz move up in next year's draft. Get Bledsoe and teafe him to a bottom feeder team that wants a PG the will initially sell tickets but doesn't lead to the expected wins.

Just a thought.

Clippers had their worst stretch of the season when Bledsoe started.

True, but Paul is the best pg in the league. Where as Bledsoe is still a young player trying to find his way. They were bound to struggle. Bledsoe is far from the finished product he could be. Bring him in and watch him grow with the other young core on the jazz.
