this is a continuation of the nightmare that started with the mishandling of 3 of the league's better point guards: Dragic, Bledsoe, Thomas.

what will we have to show for them when all 3 are gone?

Yep! Sad but true. It has all gone to pot. Good job, management!

Ping pong balls?

So who are the potential trade partners?

Teams with better pg's:
Warriors, rockets, thunder, blazers, grizzlies, wizards, Celtics, raptors, Cavs

Teams with pg's at a similar level as bled:
Hornets, heat, pelicans, jazz, wolves, hawks, clippers

Teams with young PG prospects who don't want bled:
Kings, Mavs, Lakers, 76ers, nets,

That leaves:
Spurs: do they have anything we'd want?
Nuggets: Murray is probably off limits, Mudiay and a 1st
Bucks: any chance at Jabari? Probably not
Pacers: not a good fit with oladipo
Pistons: might be interested, what do they have?
Bulls: they are in tank mode, don't want bled
Knicks: maybe, but I think they're in tank mode
Magic: intriguing. Magic look good early and adding bled probably gets them in the playoffs out east. Bled for Payton?

I'll take Brogdon.

Is there enough room on an NBA court for Jackson's hair and Payton's?

One of the reasons why I wanted him traded even if it wasn’t the best deal you could get, his knees could give out at any moment and his trade value would be zero.

So would I. Jabari is interesting because Milwaukee actually got better last year when he got hurt. It was mostly because that coincided with Middleton getting healthy, but I'm not sure Jabari/giannis is a great fit.

I do like Brogdon and he is the kind of PG you'd want next to Booker.

Clogs up passing lanes.

Bleds, if you want out, it might be a good idea to play like someone other teams would want to trade for. Keep playing the way you have been this season, and we won't be able to give you away.

Just a thought.

I don't know. It would be kind of fun to watch. We need something fun to watch, don't we?

Ha ha! Nothing a little Draino can't fix.

Gotta love Dudley! Thanks, WW.

These types of games are mostly initiated by agents. It was the same thing with Dragic. He met with his agent then boom public bonfire.

Shrug its just a business. I don't think it will change his value all that much. We have all the time in the world to trade him.

I hadn't kept much track of Elfrid Payton and Emmanuel Mudiaye. I just thought of them both as young flawed PGs who can't shoot that well. Turns out their stats are miles apart. Payton is averaging 8.5 PPG and 6.5 APG on 44% shooting. Mudiaye is averaging 9.0 PPG and 3.0 APG on 36.8% shooting (!!). I suddenly would be much happier with Payton than Mudiaye.

Yes, Mudiay has been abysmal. Payton has some good qualities, still needs to work on his range for sure.

If Bledsoe really liked Watson that much, then why was he playing like he couldn't give a shit?

That's on Bledsoe. Ship him out post haste!
