ESPN.comThe Los Angeles Clippers do not expect to make any trades before Thursday's NBA trade deadline, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said on Wednesday. "We feel good with our team right now," Del Negro said. "Nothing's changed from that aspect. Nothing has been presented to any of us that makes sense to do anything different right now. We're always available and always looking to make our team as strong as possible but right now we feel comfortable with our team."
Of course not. I was meaning the worst outcome of the Bledsoe trade scenario.
We come out of this, we're still a strong team going forward. We have x2 draft picks, hopefully Burke is in their range. I like him a lot. So if we can't get Bledsoe - we go from Plan A to Plan A1.
Freakazoid = Matt Harpring. Just ask him - he won't deny it.

I wonder what the hold up on LAC's end is. Do you think they're demanding Burks and/or Hayward as part of the deal? If so, they can go pound sand.
If it's a matter of 1st round picks...**** it, just do it. If we get Bledsoe, we don't need a 1st round pick this year as far as I'm concerned.
It would be kind of sad if the Jazz don't get anything out of those two expiring deals. Potentially one will walk away for nothing in return.
I'd say it's them getting cold feet.
Bledsoe is their insurance policy. For the rest of the season, they're relying on Paul & Billups to stay healthy. I think it's wishful thinking to be honest with chu.
The reward of getting Millsap < the risk of Paul & Billups going down.

"Just under 20 hours left before trade deadline for stances to change, but mostly standing-pat rumbles coming from both Clipperland and Utah"
What exactly are standing-pat rumbles?
Frankly I agree with this thinking. I like Sap, but I think if they're a true contender with him, they're a contender without him as well. I'd prefer to keep the insurnace policy at PG because one (or both) of those guys missing time (especially Paul) could be crippling without Bledsoe.
They'd be smart to hold onto him until draft day. He'd fetch a pick in the 6-10 range, I'm guessing from anyone who needs a PG but misses out on Marcus Smart.
SPR dude. Cmon.
