I honestly like Bledsoe a lot, but trading for a guy making 29.5 million over this season and next seems a little crazy for a team that may be in contention for worst in the league.

We're also rife with small guards with:

Smith (6'1"), Harris (6'3"), Barea (6'0" in platform shoes), Clavell (6'4"), Curry (6'2"), and Ferrell (6'0") all on the roster. I imagine we'd have to trade at least one or two of those guys to make it work.

Ultimately he's a nice talent, but he doesn't address our biggest issue, which is front-court play and rebounding. Donnie/Cuban may be dumb enough to pull the trigger on Powell+McRoberts+Barea+ 1st rounder for him, but adding Bledsoe to our awful roster doesn't suddenly make us a contender and there's no guarantee he'd want to stay here either.
