    I said that mostly because of his height but I honestly have no idea what his length is like or his ability to play against larger guards. I know hes strong as fuck tho.

    I’m intrigued about his ability to play the 2 guard next to Dame because if AD becomes available and we can land him for CJ and picks I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat. A Dame, Bledsoe, ?, AD, Nurk lineup makes my pants tight.

    Sounds good in theory but I'm not sure I trust Bledsoes knees like that. His best role going forward in his career is as a sixth man on a playoff team imo.

    Playing him and Turner a lot would be perfect.

    I have a feeling that a lineup of
    Bledsoe
    Dame/CJ
    Turner
    Harkless
    Davis/Collins
    Would be a very nice smallball lineup.

    Bledsoe has a 6'8 wingspan and is extremely strong. He can play SG.

    Don't see why they would want Harkless as they have Jackson and Warren. Would rather give away picks.

    Maybe he was holding his girlfriends purse in Nordstrom.

    Yeah. He needs to go the Eric Gordon route.

    Talk of putting Hark at PF is counterproductive to our strategy. We just drafted 2 of those.

    It shouldn't happen. Let someone else take Bledsoe. He ain't that good.

    Aminu + Davis + Future 2nd for Bledsoe + Reed

    Rotation
    Dame - Bledsoe
    CJ - Pat C
    ET - Harkless
    Vonleh - Swanigan
    Nurkic - Collins

    He probably isn't a good fit, but he is a career 17.8 PER guard...

    ...boy, Neil Olshey's got a really strict type when it comes to guards; he's like Jimmy Stewart handing out dresses in Vertigo.

    Collins isn't ready for minutes at center imo. You ready for Meyers to get a 600th chance?

    Who I would give up? Shabazz obviously would be expandable but I think they'd ask for Pat. They need forwards and they'd probably ask for Leyman which is the most expandable in a win now mode and I'd give them Vonleh and try to keep Meyers. I also would consider accepting Whats his name their older Center for the trade exception (edit: Tyson Chandler) which makes sense for them financially. If they ask for anything else it's a deal breaker other than maybe replacing Layman with one of Aminu or Harkless. It would be a win now move but i think it's about time we make this step.

    You're hilarious. Anything more than Napier, Connaughton, Layman, or Meyers is a deal breaker? Le sigh...

    1. No fucking way - Aminu and Davis have been two of our best player so far.
    2. They wouldn't want them anyway. They've got a shitload of forwards.

    Looks like Chandler doesn't even defend any more.
