Would you give up an asset to move Bledsoe at this point?

And if so just how rich of an asset would you include?

An asset is generally something with value

You would think we could find someway to get a decent role player wing in return for him without attaching much.

Would give up NAW in a second. Not ready to give up on Hayes. Hayes is super athletic. NAW has no chance at being good in this league.

Absolutely not. A veteran player who’s proven he’s a good defender throughout his career shooting a career best from 3 with one year left on his contract? There is no need to waste an asset to move him. That would be stupid.

No, and he's shooting the 3 well enough I don't think you should need to. You just probably need to aim lower than Griffin is. I don't see why JJ/Bledsoe couldn't bring back at least something like Oubre/Bjelicia

It might be hard to pull off a 4 team trade like that, so I'm not proposing that specific trade, just throwing that out as the level of players I'd be aiming for in a dump. If you add a pick I'd expect a young vet starting caliber role player.

I'd be more willing to give up an asset if we hadn't already done so to get Adams.

I'd just ride it out at this point.

Rumor has is Bledsoe has fans in some front offices

There’s enough good tape on him out there and of course his play is exaggerated

It’s not too exaggerated this year. He has not been a good fit and has been fairly bad quite often.

I think his defensive reputation around the league is probably still pretty high and most would just assume the drop off is more us than him.

That, plus the improved shooting, and i think he could still have value.

The Bledsoe hate is so stupid. I fully support getting Kira more minutes, but Bledsoe isn’t like rookie Austin Rivers. He’s pretty much exactly what I expected. What did y’all expect?

Bledsoe isn’t anything like I expected tbh. He was a very solid starter on a great regular season team the last 2 years. His defense has been absolute arse. His playmaking is non-existent. He can’t break down a defender or run a fast break. And it took him 25 games to figure out how to throw simple lob passes to Zion and Hayes. His in between game is abysmal. He’s shot the 3 ball better than anticipated and sometimes he can get to the rim.

I expected a player that was about 90% as good as Jrue tbh. He’s been about 40% as good and that’s even with shooting 3’s better than Jrue.

I expected him to be better at staying in front of his man. It shows any comparison to Jrue's defense is insane.

Someone posted a clip a while back of Bledsoe's "defense" in Mil and it was basically him funneling guys to Giannis and the Lopez twins, at the rim, and they would just clean all that stuff up for him.

We have no rim protectors here, so he's been exposed.

Didn’t he make first team all defense team just recently over Jrue. That’s nuts....
