    Well duh. But it proves that it's possible. And those teams are decent, unlike us. Oh, and I forgot the Clippers, who have been starting Chauncey at 2G. Like when they beat us.

    Clippers' Eric Bledsoe is showing he's a money player in playoffs:

    You are right. I was all in favor of going after Bledsoe early in the season, but watching him up close he is a poor outside shooter. He still is good at other things, but Maynor is a much better outside shooter.

    Jason Kidd couldn't shoot when he came into the league either. The problem for fans when talking about who they want on there favorite teams is that they want every player to be able to do everything good. That's not the way it works.

    So why don't you want Maynor instead? He does some things better than Bledsoe IMO. (Shooting) And may come cheaper.

    I'm fine with Maynor. I would rather see the Blazers go after a good big guy then they can concentrate on another scoring SG\SF.

    players who develop a jumper while in the league are an outlier statistically. The odds are Bledsoe remains a poor outside threat throughout his career

    Oh well. I don't mind the Suns, I guess:

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 2m Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler will go to the Suns, Jared Dudley and JJ Redick to the Clippers and 2 2nd-round picks to Bucks, sources tell Y

    Suns are putting together a nice young team.

    Bledsoe/Dragic/Len

    Who else do they have? 2 PG's and an injured center is not that impressive.

    Not that I still want him especially, but I wonder where he'll end up.

    Lol at all the people preferring Maynor, but I think he goes back to the Suns at around 13.5 million a year not max but more than the 12 million he turned down. Then I see them dealing Dragic this season.

    I'm sure he'll take to much time away from CJ.

    Someplace where he'll make a lot more money than Portland would pay him is my guess, and where he'll be the starting PG.

    EB's not going back to the Suns. And Dragic will get the max. He's a MUCH better player than EB.
