By not getting Lance to stay, Indiana has taken a step back and this would have been their year to win the east. If I were Indiana I would try to work out a sign-and-trade for Bledsoe. He is certainly an upgrade to George Hill and Bledsoe-George would be a great twosome for years to come.
If that doesn't work, I would trade for Kevin Martin. Minnesota wants to get rid of him, so he should be had for cheap. He'd be a poor man's Reggie Miller. Offensively he fills the gap left by Lance, and Kevin, CJ, and Rodney would basically all be used to replace Lance and back-up George. Martin averaged almost 20ppg last season and seems to be fine as a starter or off the bench (as he did in OKC). A trade of Martin for Chris Copeland (1-year expiring deal) would give Minnesota and Indiana what they might need for next season. Minnesota wants cap-space and rebuilding and Indiana wants the firepower to win. Done and done.
