...for pick 4? Sam Spiegelman speculating this on theknicksblog.com:
http://theknicksblog.com/knicks/knicks-could-make-a-trade-for-eric-bledsoe/ Forgive me if this is being discussed elsewhere--I didn't see an open thread. Just logged on and saw this article on the main page...My first reaction was that it sounds enticing, esp. if Towns, Okafor and Russell are all off the board when we pick. Does PHX do this to draft Kristaps or Mudiay? Have trouble picturing that...We'd almost have to grab a big at 13 if we did this -- Turner, Kaminsky or WCS (in that order for me at 13). Adding Bledsoe's salary, reasonable as it may be ($13.5mm for next season), would still make it hard to add a premier big man in FA. Or maybe not -- Bledsoe at $13.5mm and say Greg Monroe at $15mm = $28.5mm. Could we swing that, add the player at 13, resign Shved (still trying to verify if we can go over the cap to bring Shved back -- anyone know?) and then go with smartly chosen league minimum types to round out the rest of the roster? Is Melo/Monroe/Bledsoe a good enough "big 3" (plus whoever at 13) to make some noise in the East? If we don't have the cap space--this is where stretching Calderon could come into play, to ensure something like this goes down. Calderon getting stretched out is the emergency wiggle room we could go to to make something like this work. Would it be possible to squeeze PHX for a little something more -- TJ Warren, Reggie Bullock, Archie Goodwin, pick 44? Do you guys like this deal better than Ty Lawson and pick 7 -- Bledsoe's bigger, younger and has a slightly better contract than Lawson (probably the better overall talent between the two) but obviously the pick's not as strong -- or who the hell knows man -- maybe we could wind up drafting a better player at 13 than at 7, or even at 4 (esp. if we're looking at Porzingis and Mudiay, 2 guys I keep going back and forth on like a game of Atari Pong--I just don't know about either guy). Let's hear some thoughts on this. And happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Hope everyone had a good one! |
