Eric Bledsoe – Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers are Eric Bledsoe’s fourth team in the last three seasons, fifth if you count his short stint with the Memphis Grizzlies this past offseason, and the veteran just cannot seem to find a long-term home in this league.
Now 32-years-old, Eric Bledsoe has proven to still be an effective veteran and has some good moments with the Clippers this season before being on the move to the Trail Blazers at the trade deadline.
In 54 games this season, Bledsoe has averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and has shot 42.1% from the floor, making him a key secondary talent for some playoff contending teams around the league.
Since the trade deadline, Portland has posted a 3-0 record and they entered the All-Star break on a four-game win streak.

There is still an outside chance that the Blazers could make a run to the play-in tournament this season, which is one of the main reasons that they may look to keep Eric Bledsoe.
He has not played yet for Portland due to left Achilles soreness, but Eric Bledsoe could prove useful behind Anfernee Simons in the Blazers’ depth chart.
Should he be bought out though, Eric Bledsoe is surely someone who can play upwards of 20 minutes per night off-the-bench for a championship contending team. He brings experience and solid two-way play on the perimeter, which is why Bledsoe would have multiple suitors this season if he is bought out.
