Rob said that his staff is currently contacting agents of several undrafted players, and that the Bledsoe deal could be re-visited sometime this Summer.

Bledsoe might be revisited in the summer.

Had to have been Minny and OKC.

Should have been Minny, AA for Burke. Burke/Oladipo back court, with a chance at Wiggins next yr.

i would have been happier with CJ/oladipo back court with chance of wiggins. i think CJ probably will be 6th man of the year for the blazers.

Not really a surprise that the Bledsoe deal is on hold for now. I'm sure the Clippers want to wait until Doc can have a little time to look over the roster before they start anymore trade talks.

"Because we drafted Victor." crickets.

That chick is a moron.

Rob: "I'm not commenting on players we didn't draft."
Chick: "Why didn't you draft McLemore?"

They should kick her out for being so dumb.

If we trot out a lineup of....

Bledsoe
Oladipo
Harkless
Harris
Vucevic

Tobias is dropping TMac PPG next year.

Oladipo is seen as just a guard... hmmm.... maybe I'm not so crazy....

Has Hennigan been caught lying to the press like Otis yet? I don't think. He said they hadn't talked in 3 weeks and so Doc going there wasn't on the radar then. Probably was never going to get to it until CP was signed anyway. Hennigan has other pressing matters than that trade like Summer League to deal with. The interest is clearly still there since or he wouldn't have left the door open to revisit. This rumor will resurface around July 10 probably, unless Beno somehow gets resigned for peanuts which i doubt.

Still not so sure it will happen, but still a chance.

Oladipo is going to surprise people with his offense, he's a late bloomer and his offense is improving every season. The guy is a freak, elite athlete with super long arms who can get to the rim at will. All the stuff people claim he struggles with can be fixed, but the one thing that can't is top notch athleticism and the ability to get to the rim.

That was a fun draft overall.

Maybe Hennigan isn't anticipating an offense that relies on a PG the way the Clippers do. Maybe we're gonna see a complete team effort to run plays, the way San Antonio does. Nearly every player will take a turn starting a play.

Post #1415 » by **Bensational** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:48 am

If there is a Clippers trade on the horizon, then I would prefer it be a 4-way with Portland and Boston:

LAC: AA + Olynyk
POR: Jordan
BOS: Bledsoe + Nicholson
ORL: CJ + Withey

Vucevic/Withey
Harris/KO
Harkless/Orby
Oladipo/Jones
McCollum/Jameer

Yep... That's my dream.

Neon1 · Post #1416 » by **Neon1** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:50 am

Boston and the Clippers cannot be in any trades together for a year.

Altered_Beast · Post #1417 » by **Altered_Beast** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:53 am

should of got the next ray allen aka Ben McLemore

oh well oladipo is still a good pick IMO. if you guys manage to get bledsoe than you have a serious defensive backcourt and some up and coming forwards in harris/harkless/nicholson

Ducklett · Post #1418 » by **Ducklett** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:54 am

No movement from the Magic. Pick a player we already have in Harkless that plays pretty much the same game and position, but with less size/athletics.

Otis 2.0 has taken over.

May have to actually buy this. Lovin' it.

For a good laugh, go read the Suns draft thread. With Noel and McLemore as the top prospects available, they take Len and the board explodes, lol.
