Of course, but you have to make moves like this sometimes. If he was a great starter somewhere right now, the Hornets wouldn't be getting him/would be paying a lot more for him.

I remember the last guy I heard this about. He was supposed to make a jump and become one of the best players at his position in the league, as a potential superstar.

Last time I saw him, he got pulled from a game because he got into an argument with Monty after spending the better part of two seasons seriously gimped up.

You may have a hard-on for Bledsoe and think he'll be the next CP3, but what you're suggesting is that the team seriously overpay in assets for an unproven starter when we've got a proven one right now and could make him better by getting him some help at the 3.

You think that is a similar comparison?

Exaggerating a bit much, eh? No one is calling him the next CP3 nor are we saying we should overpay. Bench players and a maybe draft pick in a weak draft? Sure.

We have a guy who has proven he would be great off the bench. Having a lot of assists doesn't qualify you as a being some great point guard. Isn't there more to it? Jose freakin Calderon has been top 5 in assists for like 10 years straight and no one even knows he exists, probably because he is average to below average.

Bledsoe 23/10/7 vs Boston

Bledsoe 27/6/6 vs Orlando

Dude is a swiss army knife PG. He does a little of everything. Let's take of the teal glasses and enlightened ourselves with some other players
