Notice that everything that has been said according to Bledsoe has all come from LA and not from the other side....they are leaking stuff left and right, trying very hard to increase value but good GM's aren't buying it.

I still don't understand why you guys think the Clippers need so much leverage. It seems more likely that they just don't want to put all their eggs in the Arron Afflalo basket. Can you blame them? He makes way too much for what he would be giving them.

Also, as @WojYahooNBA and @JoshuaBRobbins are saying, if Magic like Victor Oladipo at PG, they could keep Afflalo to play alongside him.

Lakers' pitch to Dwight Howard tomorrow will indeed include having his own TV show, sources confirm.

Oh man, this guy is something else. Sorry if everyone is sick of Dwight stuff, but I find it amusing, and it is important to the rest of the league.

No way Stern would allow them to circumvent the cap.

So they'll put their eggs in the JJ Redick basket? The OJ Mayo basket? The Demar Derozen basket? The Tony Allen basket? All are either overpaid, or going to be overpaid.

lol for the difference in talent of JJ and AA its better to take AA

This is just one huge game of leverage between the Clippers and Magic.

So that means the Bucks would have Jennings, Monta and Bledsoe? Makes sense since it is the bucks who we are talking about.

OrlandO · Post #809 » by **OrlandO** » Mon Jul 1, 2013 8:42 pm

I wouldn't be opposed to oladipo playing PG next season even if it doesn't end up working out... he'd get a ton of experience with the rock in his hands at the NBA level, it would give us more time to move afflalo, and we'd probably lose more games (draft).

No, they'll put their eggs in the "having more than one target" basket. It's not like Afflalo is head and shoulders about the rest of the guys mentioned.

Monta is a FA Bro. rumors are having him go to either the Hawks or Mavs(Backup option to Mayo). hes hoping for a big pay day and the Bucks dont got the cash for it.

WOW!!!!!

Golden State should offer the same thing and have it filmed in LA, just to piss them off.

Got it. But if they have Jennings, why would they need Bledsoe? It doesn't make sense to me at this moment

Unreal. What position is he anyways, I thought he was best at the point? They just got Jrue and they have Eric Gordon/Austin Rivers at the 2. I am confuse.

j-ragg · Post #818 » by **j-ragg** » Mon Jul 1, 2013 8:54 pm

I wonder if the Magic are posturing a little by saying "you can keep Bledsoe, we'll play Oladipo next to Afflalo"

trades us Bledsoe for AA :lol:

my guess is either they will play an extremely undersized at the guard or use one as trade bait

Rivers is terrible and Eric Gordon wants out. This is no more confusing than having their two best players both play PF.
