I was just wondering if the Grizz buyout Bledsoe, would you sign him for the minimum? Bledsoe has been bad but he can still play defense...

No, I’d pay money to keep him away from the team.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Yes, definitely. Bledsoe is a good player. He was in a bad situation for him last season due to terrible team construction by an inept GM but that does not change that he is a good player.

Of course.  That's easily less than he's worth.  And I think he'd actually fit our roster well - we have the floor spacing that he needs to be able to attack the paint, especially if we unload Thompson.

I think he'd be a good defender off the bench if he was signed for the minimum.

Yeah, Bledsoe would be fun with Horford. I believe they'd have a symbiotic relationship similar to Rozier and Horford a few years ago. Horford's high post passing and shooting aiding Rozier's offensive game hugely. Helping hide his limitations as a playmaker and allowing him to focus on his best qualities.

Freedom. Freedom to be his best self. That is what Horford gave to Rozier and he would do the same with Bledsoe.

Absolutely.  Good leadership, D and bench scoring.  Someone to fill in when Smart misses a few games which has been happening yearly.  Would allow yam to be brought on slowly and having to earn the 3rd PG role if they keep him stateside.  If Yam shows in summer league he's not yet ready they have an out to leave him overseas for another year.  Bledsoe would be good veteran insurance.

Yes.  He’s not useless, he’s just flawed and overpaid.

Man, this pendulum has swung pretty far, pretty fast.

If Bledsoe is looking to rehab his image around the league by putting his talent to use, then yeah, awesome. He's incredibly talented and now, it seems, underrated.
