Kyle Lowry @ 3yr/100mil

or

Jrue Holiday @ 5yr/125mil

Not sure I like either, I think I like Lowry's slightly less.

Realistically our options are Rondo, CJ Miles, Ty Lawson, Nick Young, Darren Collison, Justin Holiday, Ian Clark, Shabazz Muhammad

Players that could be traded for are Eric Bledsoe or Pat Beverly (less likely now with Blake resigning)

There are going to be some bargains. Teams are taking it very easy with the spending and there are going to be good players available on deals.

If they're at the point of taking on bad contracts for picks, why not trade Bledsoe for a few picks?

I mean there really wouldn't be one, unless they think that:

Breaking up the contracts into multiple players makes them more movable

And

Lightly protected picks/unprotected Picks are extremely important to them.

And for some reason the Pels basket of shite is better than others.

I'm sure they would love to but everything that's been reported is that they want to take on bad deals for assets.

Yeah, they lost out on Blake and then the next thing we heard was they were out on Millsap and looking to do what rebuilding teams do, take on bad contracts for assets. There's no hurry but trading Bledsoe seems like a step they'll take this year.

it was only a few days ago a Kyrie/Bledsoe deal almost went down. I'm just not sure the pels have any real "assets" for a Bledsoe

Sure they will take on some salary to rid a chandler or a knight

Honestly someone like Patrick Patterson or Amir Jonson would be a solid addition as well


It's not a bad strategy if you know you're going to be bad for a few years. "Hey we will take that bad salary off your hands for a first rounder." You gain assets and give essentially nothing in return

I took it as more they will absorb bad contracts for promising young players or 1st round picks.
