Bledsoe?

[Handlogten's Heros]

then why the hell do Jazz fanz want a PG that doesn't want to play when he's making millions ??????? Jazz need someone that loves basketball and in theory would play for nothing just to play against the best basketball players in the world.

He wanted to play... they didn't want to win or have him get hurt.

Why is that? Chandler and Bledsoe come in via trade, Milos for the MLE. You just use a smaller portion of what you were going to sign Hayward for to go after Gallinari. 24 MIL and 5 years.

You'd have to clear Favors salary to have enough space to offer Gallo around $20M in your scenario. We retain Hayward using bird rights... if timed right I think Ingles cap hold is less than what he will get... it would be tough to do though.

A 27 year old pg that scores 21 ppg without a history of injury is a guy we would never be able to get. Steph had injury issues early in his career that allowed GSW to re-sign him for almost nothing relative to his next contract. Obviously this turned out to be a decent gamble for them. If Hill walks I think Bledsoe is a good option, if Hayward and Hill go then i'd roll with Exum and find a decent backup while adding some talent at other positions. I like Gallinari if Hayward leaves and even he has had a run of injuries in his career.

Find a way to keep both Hill and get Bledsoe. Run with a 7-8 man unit that shreds opponent benches.

That'd be awesome. I'm all for trading Exum for Bledsoe.

I'd trade Hood, Boris, and multiple first round picks for him.

The talk of moving a 21yr old lottery pick as basically 'the steak knives' in a package is mind boggling to me.

If Hayward walks, I would let Hill walk also.

We pitched this idea here a couple months ago here when Bledsoe was ruled out the rest of the season.

Yeah, it's basically a pipe (wet) dream but the Jazz have to obtain something unfathomable to meat my requirements. I don't think Gobert-Hayward-Hill-Bledsoe-Hood + filler like JJ and Diaw are enough but that team would scare anyone on any given night. It's too bad Favors is done for...

Oh you think that the players decide when they play.

No, it's actually the coaches.

Bledsoe is a good backup if you can't get anyone better (George, a PG from PDX).
