What will it take to get Bledsoe?

I find getting Teague a lot more realistic than Bledsoe. You can throw money at Teague and hope ATL doesn't match. We weren't able to get Bledsoe during All-Star break, so unless the Clippers have stepped off what they wanted for him, they will keep him. I don't think they will really be aggressive in moving him until it's his last year on his contract.

You'd PnR and attack the rim all day and night. (and it isnt like Connolly is some lights-out shooter...)

It's about beating the **** outta folks physically and mentally. I think jazz fans are ready for that.

It sounds good in theory, but it wouldn't work.

... Hay and Deng are good defenders, too. And we all know what Favs can do. And Kanter will be good, too. Lets build a defensive identity, pleeeeeeeeeeeezzzze.

NAOS.... The new CBA doesn't allow you to s&t with a team over the cap!

Change ur sig!!

It's so cute that so many of you think we can get Teague.

It gave me a snicker too. Atlanta has 40 million+ in cap space, no good rookies to worry about resigning, and no free agents will be knocking at their door. Well.....maybe Al.
Bledsoe is more feasible, just have to wait until Paul is inked.

Been hoping this for years.

That all depends on how badly The Hawks want him back, and they have lots of cap room as well. Bledsoe might be more realistic than Teague.

Quit flirting with us saved by the bell style then.
 
My dream: the Jazz make a serious push for Chris Paul by offering him a max contract, then win the "Paul lottery".

I don't care who sign as long as they can run the PNR effectively with Derrick and Enes all day long.

Then Bledsoe is definitely your man. He can really attack the basket, meaning defender would have to collapse/chase after him - leaving Favors rolling to the basket for a dunk or Kanter for a pull up 12 footer.

Bledsoe will also bring that defensive intensity on perimeter our team has lacked for the past couple of years.

Also for those who doesn't think Bledsoe can pass / run a team, watch this video. Also playing/learning under a future HOFer in Chris Paul doesn't hurt neither.

For those who say "It's just One Game" - you can just go and join Ty Corbin's "One Game" club. He just hasn't been given the opportunity to shine. He had a number decent games while Paul was injured, but he did come back pushing Bledsoe back to the bench.

He's really the kind of young, exciting, fighting young player we need to pair up with Favors & Kanter.
