    Neil drafted Bledsoe and has been high on him in the past

    Milwaukee seems the most likely. They could throw in Monroes expiring and have a need at PG.

    Denver and Orlando are probably the other two. Both could offer young talent and be able to match salaries.

    Any other team and it'd take some maneuvering. Portland has the pieces, especially if they offered Harkless, just not sure about the need/fit.

    Phoenix probably leaked this so their fans won't be mad when their prize is Meyers Leonard.

    I think you guys overrate Bledsoe. I don't even want him.

    The only way Knicks says yes is if its asked with a gun pointed at their face. And even then they might still decline

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

    That's not going to happen. They have zero leverage. They sent him home from practice. They're not getting that much.

    Not true. If he took both backup guard spots, we could probably match his current mpg, which is 28.

    So you're thinking Pat would be included in the trade? Napier and Pat need to play. But if they're part of the trade I'd be cool with that haha

    I like Pat and Napier.... but they don't need to play. Not if you have a 3 guard rotation with Dame/CJ/Bledsoe.

    Silly thing is, there are so many very good and great point guards in the league that a good player like Bledsoe isn't even that attractive to potential buyers, even on a cheap deal.

    Bucks should try for him.

    Only blazers fans would be hesitant to add Bledsoe because of Pat Connaughton.

    I'd do that. Olshey is probably trying to squeeze a 1st rounder out of the suns too
