CJ, Dame, and Bledsoe would each get 32 minutes a game. It forces ET and Pat to SF, though and suddenly you have a logjam.
We should take out an ad in the Phoenix newspaper that’s says: Dear Suns Fans, YOU’RE WELCOME. Like a duct tape chest wax, we wanted to make sure it was over quick for you. Love, The Trail Blazers
So 20 million going out and 15 coming back? That is intriguing. Depends on how well Harkless plays in the next 30 games.
At one point I thought he was really good, but he's looked bad in Phoenix, especially on D, which was supposed to be a real strength. Maybe he just needs a change of scene. Didn't Olshey draft him? I'm happy with Evan Turner as our third guard, though. Don't rock the boat (unless we're clearing space by trading CJ for Anthony Davis first).
He's constantly hurt. He seems to have a bad attitude. I don't want him. I'd help facilitate a trade through.

Turner has been guarding SFs, the guy whose time would be affected would be Patty, and I'm ok with that.
I'm down for Shump but why wouldn't we just cut out the middle man (Cleveland) in that scenario and acquire Bledsoe for ourselves?
Because I don't think he'll be happy here. He wouldn't start. Plus, I would love to add Crowder and Shumpert on cheaper contracts. I think they'd fit in perfectly on this team.
We should ask for a pick from Cleveland in that scenario. They're barely giving up anything and acquiring the best player in the deal lol
