Clippers, Magic Pick Up Bledsoe For Afflalo Trade Talks

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic continue to discuss a trade of Eric Bledsoe for Arron Afflalo, according to sources.

A trade could be agreed upon this week and also include Andrew Nicholson and a future first round pick from the Magic to the Clippers.

Doc Rivers is said to be high on Bledsoe, but the Clippers are unlikely to be able to afford to have him on a new deal to continue as Chris Paul's backup.

Caron Butler would likely be included in order to make the trade work in regards to salary.

I hope this trade goes through but I don't understand why there is a pick being discussed... the Clipps can't keep Bledsoe anyway!

Asking price is way too much I know this is just a rumour!

agree. AA, a good player, Nicholson (1st round pick) and a future 1st rounder? All for a PG that does not really have good PG skills? not a good shooter, not a great passer. I know this is what LA wants, but if they wont budge, Hennigan needs to walk away. LAC needs to remember that Otis isnt the GM anymore.

good defender and can attack the basket, but the Magic need a PG to run an offense.

No way is Orlando sending any kind of draft pick in this type of deal period Rob isn't that naive and if the Clippers think they are getting that much they are kidding themselves...
