Is eric bledsoe that much of an upgrade to trade the 8th pick tho?


hes not an upgrade at all. IT3 is better than bledsoe.

piss-poor trade for a piss-poor franchise.

okay i get it. IT3 is short. whatever. the least the kings could do is get one of the suns' later 1st round picks in return. i mean, they have like 3 to spear.

:patrice: Are we offering too much here?

Nope.

Who would we draft at 8 that would help us? We got our franchise big, we got scoring from Gay and Ben Mac(if he rights himself in year 2) can't forget about DWill either.

Malone wants to instill his hard nose defensive ideas in this squad from jump, which means you need to get a tenacious defender at the 1. If Bledsoe's knee is right and he can defend like he did when the Suns were going hard in the beginning of last year this is definitely a great trade for us.

This team doesn't nene any more projects.

What that money situation look like though? I thought the problem was they don't wanna pay more to keep Isaiah. How much they gonna pay Bledsoe then?

I selfishly hope they DON’T do this deal, because I wanna see the Sixers offer Thad and the #10 to move up to #8.

Not sure which deal is better for the Kings, though (e.g., who’s more valuable to them, Bledsoe or Thad).

This would actually be a smart trade for the Kings, Eric Bledsoe is a good scorer but a good defender as well which is more important for that team. The Kings have no problem putting points on the board, but they allow other teams to score 110 points a game and that won't do. As for Pheonix they can package those picks to move up in the draft or trade a couple to maybe get Iman Shumpert from the Knicks who are in desperate need of draft picks.

People in here really sleeping on Bledsoe:mjlol:, they just rated him as the #4 best available free agent only behind Lebron,Bosh and Melo, he's alot better than you guys are giving him credit for, Bledsoe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Isaiah

For real tho.

I didn't know Bledsoe improved his J like he did this season either, we all knew the athleticism was there but he can get buckets like a mother fukker now:ohlawd:

This shyt would be a great move for the Kings

Improved his offense and is one of the best defenders at his position and 2nd most athletic at his position
