The Clipps just lost a lot of leverage. Personally, if i were Rob, id be getting on the phone now saying the original deal of AA for Bledsoe and Butler is still alive but will be off the table in a few days. Leave it upto them to decide. We know they have no better options now

If that was the case he'd be the headliner. Likely it is a pick plus trash to make the salaries work.

Magic trade: Beno, BBD & AA

Clipps trade: Bledsoe, Jordan & Butler

no, no, no. Jordan's contract with his on court production is going to be an albatross.

The Clippers don't have to trade Bledsoe this season, that could make Rob pull out his ultimate card if he really wants Bledsoe this season vs Bledsoe going anywhere but Orlando (this year or next):

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=m5qgzsd ( we also receive a future 1st from Clips)

Remember Doc played small ball a lot in Boston with Bradley and Rondo, so he could do the same with Bledsoe/Paul. That's why I think Harkless in the deal would too much for the Clips to pass up on.

I would not include Harkless in any deal for Bledsoe Period.

Agreed. No way we include Hark for any Bledsoe deal. I'm still very hesitant to give up Nicholson. Afflalo and Moore/Change is enough for Butler/Bledsoe. They just can't afford to pay Bledsoe next year unless Sterling is willing to pay a lot. I don't see them getting a player better than Afflalo.

yeah, that trade isnt going to happen. And Orlando can easily offer a normal contract next year that LAC cant match. Or just draft a better PG in next years draft. Marcus Smart is definitely coming out next year, with many other PG's
