2 first rounders plus two good players might be too much for Bledsoe. We still don't know Trey's ceiling

bledsoe has been pretty f***in good this season....

21/6/5 on decent efficiency, and signed to a good contract all the way till 2019. He's had his own share of injuries through his career though, but odds are trey will never be that level of player.
 
I'm not so sure the Nets would do this. They were burned recently signing older veterans to large deals, and signing Hill won't put them that much closer to contention to a playoff spot. I realize their current draft options are limited (see bad deal signing veterans above), but this is a franchise that needs to take a longer view viz rebuilding. Locking themselves into longer-term, max deals for >30 year old veterans, when contention is not remotely possible, makes no sense.

They owe it to Brook Lopez to try and get a decent squad. Their pick goes to Boston again in 2018, unprotected, tanking is not an option..They also want to try and get the franchise off of life-support now that they've made the move to brooklyn...

It doesn't create any imbalance, Jeremy Lin is locked into a deal at 6th man $$$. If you really look at their cap situation and realistic free agents. Landing Hill and lets say Danilo Gallinari would be best case, and could be the catalyst for a major improvement, especially if they can also hit on the draft picks..

The Nets have been going after tough players, look at their roster. Hill is most certainly a match.. He'd be a massive upgrade and a good mentor for some the youngins they're developing...
