Is that plausible? I'd be ecstatic.

I would like to think so, but unlikely. But what trade is plausible? None really, when we are talking about the Jazz. I think Clippers eventually trade him, but they most likely arent ready to. They still have him for cheap for a couple years and they still need to lock up Chris Paul. The other thing is, do we trade to a team in our conference?
 
The horrible thing about this is

1) his potential. If he leaves, and plays good somewhere else I'll be furious. It's not like if CJ Miles explodes somewhere down the line. We gave that guy plently of time with us.

Number 2) is we'd be selling low which you should never do.

So would you consider Bledsoe a bad trade .. a la, selling low?

If we get another promising young player then of course that helps.
I just don't think we'll get one of these players we'd want, and I think it's very risky to let Burks go.
 
I would love for a Millsap/Burks for Odom/Bledsoe would seem perfect (Billups was a mentor to Burks, they buy-out Odom)

But that seems to logical, so how about a deal for junk??
-Cle would also give up their highest pick in the '13 draft
-MIL gets Burks & gets out of their Moute contract (we can swap our future #1)
-Favors starts, Foye to natural 2, legit backup PG, maintain out young big depth, get future picks...

Im going to go out on a limb and say I think Bledsoe will be better than Burks. I'm not 100 percent certain, but as of right now, Bledsoe looks much better. I think we would be lucky to get him. An upgrade over Mo Williams for sure.

Not sure it is. Even if Burks went to another team and met expectations, not sure he'll get that opportunity with the Jazz.
 
I'd do Bledsoe for Burks. I'd say to throw Al in there, too, but not sure there's anyone else that makes Big Al money that we'd want.
