 Interesting question I think. Really fishy with them signing Isiah Thomas he's making 7.3 million this year, G Dragic is making 7.5 million and he plays like a point. Are they really going to give him 14 million per year. And if they don't want him will you pay that much for him. The similarities are amazing. Both 6'1" with long arms and great defense. Both played at Kentucky. Bledsoe was picked 18th and Rondo 21.
 Would you trade Rondo for Bledsoe.

'Would you trade Rondo for Bledsoe' is very, very different from "Rondo or Bledsoe Max Money."

Bledsoe's a downgrade from Rondo to my eyes, but he's also a guy I wouldn't mind replacing Rondo if he could be had for a comparable cut in salary.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

No, I wouldn't trade Rondo for Bledsoe.

Bledsoe still has a few big question marks next to his name. He has never ran his own team. Having Dragic there alongside him in Phoenix last year was a big help to his game. Bledsoe struggled the year before when asked to start in CP3's absence. So, I would want to see Bledsoe run the point / lead a team by himself before I consider giving up someone as valuable as Rondo in a trade for him.

Im confused bc of the title and then your question. Anyways Ill say it depends on salary but I'd take Rondo. I do like how EB can create his own shot, I think statistically he was top 3 at that before he got hurt

Definitely Rondo. He's the better player with the better resume.

Rondo. 

Bledsoe was the sg.  When Dragic was off the floor, the Suns offense took a big hit.

Pretty sure Beldsoe played point when both were healthy. According to Basketball-Reference, Dragic split his minutes between the 1 and 2 almost evenly, about 50/50. Bledsoe played point guard about 90% of the time.

Dude come on, Dragic was always the point guard.

How many games did you see Phoenix play?
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Nah, they both suck in terms of a trade.

The similarities are definitely not "amazing" like the OP suggests.

Rondo.

Bledsoe has yet to prove himself for one full season, and is already coming off an injury...

I would give Rondo the max despite his shooting warts over Bledsoe any day...
