    not saying memphis would, but the grizzlies do need a backup pg and the capspace would be appealing to pera would wants to stay flexible and build around conley/gasol.

    Bledsoe would probably fit, but the Clippers wouldn't want Lin. Plus, if he's really this coveted his trade value will be over inflated.

    Of course it would and Morey, let alone any GM, would not give up that much for that bencher! No schmuck would hesitate trading away Bledsoe to get those players. If we're giving up that much you, 713, might as well throw in your first-born child just to add insult to injury.

    You're dreaming buddy. It will take Harden, Parsons + fillers to have a chance at acquiring Bledsoe.

    Bledsoe is one of the few guys in the league who has value as well as a neon sign above his head saying available.

    Basically every other openly available player right now is a bad contract.

    Hm. I wonder if the Magic would still draft Burke or would the take McLemore or Oladipo.

    Who would the Clips start at the 3?

    Good deal for the Clips, and I like Bledsoe on the Magic- but wasn't Affalo supposed to be the centerpiece of the Dwight deal? So much for that.

    Is Afflalo that much better than Bledsoe?

    I think so. But more importantly, Affalo is a better fit with Chris Paul than Bledsoe.

    Great athlete and good D but his actual PG ability (facilitating/playmaking) leaves a lot to be desired...which means he'd be a great fit for HOU/Harden. Go figure.

    Bledsoe/Harkless/Vucevic/picks would still be solid return. It looks better than Martin/Houston prospects/late lotto pick. It certainly looked the opposite back in the summer.

    Harden/Parsons/Asik 8 first rounders only to have it vetoed by Stern.

    basketball reasons
    not fair for Clippers

    yah vucevic is better then martin at this point.

    That didnt do as bad as first thought. Especially if they flip affalo for the PG they need.

    Bledsoe is a better shooter. Lin is a better PG

    I would give them Lin + White and maybe Delfino for him.

    better defender, scorer, shooter

    lin is game manager, and bc of his shoddy handling at times this can be limiting too


    lets see how much he improves on it

    I think the Clippers could get more for Bledsoe that just Afflalo. Like, maybe they can get Harden from the Rockets. CP3, Harden, and Blake Griffin would be a nice threesome.
