It's a tough decision for the Clips, I think you keep Bledsoe unless you strongly feel whatever move you make is def gonna get you to the WCF for sure. Anything short of that for the Clippers I see CP3 finding his way to NY wit Melo somehow!

:ehh: I really don't know why they would want Millsap, unless there plan is for him to play the 3 or the 4 at the end of games in crunch time, and move Blake to center? IMO they get rid of Bledsoe, than that's there end of there bench mob, and imo he was practically there best defender at forcing TO's too. But, :ehh: if they can't get KG, maybe Josh Smith and play him at the 3? :heh: Bledsoe is really good, but I'm not sold on him being a starter in this league, but as a 6th man, dude is scary as fukk.

Trade makes no sense for the clips. Could work well for the jazz since they would have their pg for the future and Favors can finally be a starter.

Also to those outside of LA.. The thinking is this. With the Lakers being down(maybe even missing the playoffs all together) this year, the Clipps have a really really really really big shot at making a dent in the Lakers hold on this town. Now LA will always be a Laker town no doubt about it but this is a chance of a lifetime for this franchise. We have to get to the WCF at worst, we fukk around and get to the finals some shyt is gonna change around here. And of course Laker fans will point to the banners in the rafters but still, everybody loves a winner and a hot new commodity. So locally the stakes are a lot bigger and these moves have to pay off and make sense all at the same time.

I agree, getting Al would make more sense for the Clippers. But I guess his salary + the Jazz likely not wanting Jordan included in a deal would make it hard to get a deal done

I think he's a restricted free agent at the end of the year. Or did we extend his rookie option for another year:dwillhuh:
He's signed for another year at least. Doesn't have to be offered extension til 2015.

If this trade does go thru, I assume they'll still look to trade Jordan this week?

they need to increase the number of big bodies on their team, not get rid of them.

the only way they trade jordan is if they get somebody like garnett in return. otherwise, who are they gonna start at center?
