    I like Bledsoe as a prospect, but he's got a LONG way to go.

    Bledsoe is NOT A POINT GUARD. He's about Armon Johnson level.

    Not really. Bledsoe played SG at UK because they had Wall there with him. And he's in a similar situation now with Mo Williams and CP at PG. His court vision is actually decent.

    I don't really have much hope for him being our definite PGotF, but he's better than the lot we have now.

    What if we get this deal done, then get Nash? I know you aren't a Nash guy, but it would be a decent 1-2 punch. Bledsoe is still rookie scale and very manageable.

    Why wouldn't we? He's a competent 3/4. Better than some of the alternatives we have on the bench.

    So we have

    Crawchuck to

    LAC for Bledsoe and Gomes

    Minny for something, maybe Ridnour, maybe Beasley, maybe Johnson and a pick

    Char for Augustin

    Seems they aren't big fans of Nolan Smith, and it seems to me that Portland needs to take whatever offer includes a pick

    lol. You do realize Johnson was the #3 pick last year right? Minny is not gonna give him up AND a pick for a Crawful rental.

    Don't LOL. They are not happy with his development, and are now in somewhat of a bidding war.

    He was fourth, and he's absolutely terrible, and is already older than Batum. I honestly don't think they value him more than just a throw in.

    He's terrible right now. His A/T ratio last year was 1.5, and he played a lot of significant minutes and games. His PER was 10.8. He was about as bad as Felton this year.

    I like his potential, but he stinks right now.

    Question. The saying goes that if a deal is talked about, that means it's dead. What if these are leaked to further value players, so a team would give us something better? It's pretty apparent that we are looking for a PG. Now maybe we can use Crawford, with more value to get one?

    shouldn't we give Nolan a run of 10 games starting before we go after a guard like Bledsoe? the kid really hasn't had a chance, heck I'm for givin Ewill some PG minutes when I look at Bledsoe's numbers!

    4th pick, and it was 2010, not 2011.

    Augustin would be such a massive upgrade.
