He's not in a vacuum but Lin is a much better fit. Plus he's probably better for marketing purposes. Which, in a small market, is probably a large consideration.

Both have have different positives and negatives. Lin can run a second unit and start in a pinch, gives Jrue the ability to play off ball more.
Bledsoe is instant offense.
Both get hurt a lot. I'm honestly ok with getting either of them.

you're right many of them had lower usage rates than Bledsoe (28.3%).
Conly (26.4%), D'Angelo Russell (26.5%), Derrick Rose (25.7%), and Lowry (24.8%)
But I was also combining usage rate with other stats (like seconds per touch, dribbles per touch, total passes made, passes received, and time of possession) to show that Bledsoe was not a ball hog
for example Bledsoe is below Lowry, IT, Kyrie, Conley, and Westbrook in seconds per touch
Bledsoe is below Lowry, IT, Kyrie, Conley, and Westbrook in dribbles per touch
Bledsoe was 5th in the league last year in total passes made in front of all those guys mentioned.
And received the 7th most passes in the NBA behind Westbrook and IT
Westbrook, IT, and Conley are ahead of Bledsoe in time of possession with Lowry and Kyrie right behind Bledsoe
So maybe Rondo, Russell, and Rose were oversights I apologize.

It's not like Lin is some great off ball player. He needs the ball in his hands to be most effective same as Bledsoe.
Lin also has an option for next year and Brooklyn seems intent on keeping him while PHX is actively trying to trade Bledsoe.

Since when did "in a vacuum" become the trendy thing to say?

Honestly think I'd be ok with Brandon Knight as a consolation prize

Literally any competent guard is needed

He's been available for free since last season and there are no takers for a reason.

The Phoenix Suns are waiving guard Leandro Barbosa, league sources tell ESPN.

Literally one of the worst players in all of basketball, and probably THE worst contract. Duke fan eh?

From Woj on Suns releasing Barbosa:
quote:
Releasing Barbosa creates $3.5M more space, allowing Suns greater flexibility to accept salary dumps attached w/ young assets/draft picks.

Well, it's definitely applicable in basketball. Just because a player is better, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a better fit.

B for Barton? Listening to the latest Lowe Post and Zach was talking about Will Barton being a cap casualty and threw out a price of a 2nd.

It would be awesome if we could get Barton with the trade exception and just give up a second.
Posted on 7/3/17 at 1:33 pm to TeddyPadillac
Would love to get Barbosa on a cheap deal.
Posted on 7/3/17 at 1:34 pm to TeddyPadillac
Anyone think that Monte Ellis might be available? He just got a drug suspension for 5 games and the Pacers are rebuilding. 2 years at about 11M per left on his deal. He had a down year, but is 31. Might have another good year left in him..
