As much as everyone is tired of losing, we don't need to fix the entire team this offseason. A competent SF and a better C could be cheaper to acquire than Bledsoe


I'm a Vasquez supporter. But I think Bledsoe's ceiling is wayyy higher than vasquez's. I agree with TigerinAtl. We need an upgrade all over this team. To me, our biggest need in help at small/shooting forward. This will alleviate pressure on both Davis and Gordon( don't think anyone will take on his contract).

Davis also needs help under the boards. Lopez ain't doing it for me. You never know what you're gonna get from him from night to night.

In summary, yes Bledsoe would be better than Vasquez immediately, but if it inhibits us from upgrading the 3 and 5, I'd rather stick with Vasquez with improved talent around him. If Vasquez could focus on being an assist first PG and spend time focusing on defense instead of scoring, I think that's the way Dell should go. But ONLY if we focus on the 3 and 5.

no doubt about this, but who knows if he'll come close to reaching that ceiling.

If the team is looking to sign one of the free agent centers, moving Lopez in a trade for Bledsoe would be a great situation, imo.

This.

My general plan for this offseason would be to tender an offer to Pekovic and, hopefully, get Otto Porter in the draft if we end up as #2 or #3.

That takes care of all our starting positions and then lets us re-evaluate whether to upgrade at the point.
