    if I'm Boston the only thing the Clippers have that I want is perhaps Bledsoe

    Jordan is an overpaid stiff

    If Boston makes this trade there is no way they will keep Rondo.

    A backcourt of Rondo and Bledsoe makes no sense.

    Among scenarios Clips considering, sources say, is offer of Blake Griffin & Bledsoe in sign-and-trade pitch Lakers for Dwight after July 1

    oh god, that may knock us out of the running. Dwight WILL want to play with CP3, with possibly KG and Doc at the helm.

    I guess chris paul is going to get his way. Rockets got played again. I guess it was too good to be true.

    I am assuming they would have to cut Pierce and take a $5 million hit on their cap to be able to afford such a move.

    Include in Caron Butler's 9 million. I think its 9 mil not 100% sure

    Why, exactly? As Bill Simmons pointed out, CP3 is even more of a hardass than Kobe, and Dwight and Garnett don't like each other at all. It's concerning because of the lure of the LA market, but the Rockets are still a better pitch in terms of basketball.

    Lol Boston is NOT taking back Caron's salary.


    Also, in this scenario, is PP taking the vet min? Bill Simmons just tweeted BOS holding out for Bledsoe while also wanting to dump 1 of Terry or Lee.
