LMAO @ the Tyreke Deal

I'd like to think the Clippers could get a better player for Bledsoe than freakin JJ Redick. If I were them i'd rather do the Afflalo deal with Orlando

All of this evokes a popular refrain from NBA front-office sources: "It only takes one ****." As in: It only takes one team to increase a player's market value to unreasonable levels.

I'm guessing the Pistons are willing to trade Greg Monroe & Brandon Knight for Rajon Rondo. If so, I think the Celtics win that deal. Ainge might start retracting his statement that he has "no intentions" on trading Rondo so he can rape Dumars on this barter

Pistons could trade Drummond/Knight for Rondo and sign Josh Smith go play PF?

I wouldn't do that if I was the Pistons. Andre Drummond's presence as a defender in the paint is too important for their future outlook, but it's not bad for either team at all. I just think Detroit would be better off parting ways with Greg Monroe

Yeah I meant Monroe. No idea why I put Drummond.

the value of eric bledsoe in my dynasty league just went through the roof. i wonder who has him? oh, wait, its me. BOOOOM!!!!

Clippers trade Bledsoe, Butler for Redick and Dudley.

Bledsoe is going to POP in Phoenix.

Post #1073 » by **fatlever** » Tue Jul 2, 2013 10:26 pm

do they intend to play dragic and bledsoe together? two players who like the ball in their hands, like the get to the rim and neither can shoot. or do they try to move dragic? and this really puts marshall on deathwatch.

Perfect role players for the Clippers

I don't understand acquiring Eric Bledsoe for the Suns with Goran Dragic & Kendall Marshall already in the fold. They must have another trade up their sleeve involving Dragic or Marshall

Marvel · Post #1076 » by **Marvel** » Wed Jul 3, 2013 12:09 am

Minny making moves.

Rubio, KMart, Shabazz/Williams, Love, Pek

Bench: Ridnour, Barea, Budinger, Dieng, Steamer, Shved, Dante. Solid if healthy.

They received good value though. They essentially traded Dudley and a 2nd rounder for Bledsoe and Butler

Poor Bucks basically traded Tobias Harris for two 2nd rounders.

I think the Raptors would be dumb to accept that deal. I understand that Toronto may want to get out of the luxury tax ASAP, but the Pistons could have at least included somebody that's not considered complete damaged goods in the league, like a young prospect (i.e. Brandon Knight or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope). I don't think Masai Ujiri is even entertaining Joe Dumars nonsense. I know I wouldn't

Kings pulling their $56 mil offer to Iggy. Guess when someone offers you that much cash, you better decide relatively quickly and not drag it out too much. Oh well. Have to see how much he ends up getting to see if this costs him any money.
