Agreed, almost put them on my list but at first sight, Toedosic and Beverly seem enough to hold the PG position for them, especially since offense can go through Griffin a bit.OE32 wrote:If the Clips get off to a rough start, I'd throw them in as possible Bledsoe suitors.

Josh is probably who interests me the most in that list at the moment. Just kicking tires...

Re: Bledsoe
Taking predictions:
Will Bledsoe be traded?
When will Bledsoe be traded?
What will our record be at that point?
For who?

Re: Bledsoe
Has anybody been tracking how other rookies did in the preseason? I don't know if the stats are available or meaningful for them. Mostly I'm curious about the top-10 guys. Has any rookie looked great so far? Is Ball getting crazy assists? Is Fultz a bust already? How is Fox doing in Sacramento? Is Monk showing anything promising in NO? What about Smith in Dallas? I know Markkanen had that one good game, which is great for him. Etc.

LOL, oops. I will probably always join those two teams in my brain for the rest of my life.
Re: Bledsoe
I'd rather play 4 on 5 than have Kendall Marshall in a Suns uniform again. Self entitled prick.

Re: Bledsoe
From what I've seen Ball did nothing crazy but also skipped a few games. Kuzma probably stole some of his hype (>17ppg, >50fg%). Simmons looked good if you count him as a rookie, Markkanen didn't play much probably because he played at EuroBasket recently, but he played well. Now that Batum is injured Monk got some more minutes and scored a lot but not efficiently. Fox also didn't play much but I remember seeing at least one solid boxscore for what it's worth. Smith also had at least one impressive game, but also some bad ones and he tweaked his ankle. He'll play a lot and I suspect will have plenty of ups and downs this season. I think as far as preseason goes Jackson played as well as anybody.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Has anybody been tracking how other rookies did in the preseason?

Sorry for not putting more numbers here but it seems hard to quickly find preseason boxscores.

Re: Bledsoe
I assume they compare the players to players of similar ages and try to project from there for their ratings. The most similar to Bender to them is Jermaine O'Neal. The closest to Booker is Bradley Beal. The closest to Jackson is Luol Deng. For Chriss it's Maurice Harkless.

Re: Bledsoe
I like how they project dollar value over the next five years. For Knight, it's -$3.7M. Yup, fair value would have him paying us for the roster spot, rather than us paying him $14M a year.

So instead of paying him $70 million, he should have paid us $3.7 million.

Re: Bledsoe
I think he owes every bit of that and more to Suns fans. However, it was McDonough that thought he was worth it and paid it out. So maybe it's him that owes us.
