I was saying it a lot in S34 with @MirORich @gourimoko and @Rich but, I really think Eric Bledsoe is a guy the Cavs should target. It would probably take a three-team deal with TT leaving Cleveland, yet I still think it is worth it. Bledsoe would allow LeBron to play 40 minutes per game without our entire team going to absolute shit. He's a great facilitator, good ball handler, good shooter, good rebounder, and good defender. He has played at a near all-star level since 2013-14, and frankly, probably would have been one had he been on a better team.
If Phoenix can get Ball or Fox at #4, they absolutely will look to trade Bledsoe, and I think they Cavs have to consider capitalizing.
Sure, Bledsoe wouldn't start, but he would play 25-35 minutes per game. If you remember the year Phoenix almost made the playoffs under Hornacek, Bledsoe played off-ball a lot with Dragic being the de-facto point guard. He moves a lot without the ball, can make the extra pass, and shoot the three. Furthermore, he's obviously good on-ball.
I really think we need a 6th man point guard for when LeBron sits. I think Bledsoe is by far the best choice, and frankly, he makes an enormous difference. Bledsoe allows us to avoid the LeBron-rest run that GSW went on in games 3 and 5. That totally changes the series.
It'll be hard, and he's no PG13, but I think it's a realistic move that would improve our team.
