I would love to see the Jazz try and pick him up. He showed spurts during the playoffs of how good he could become. The Clippers don't need him. If CP3 re- ups with them I could see him being trade bait. I would be willing to give the Clippers rights to the GS pick.
What does everyone think?
 
You guys value this potential pick a bit too much. Who knows, we may never even get a first round pick from these tankers. The Warriors could end up being a late playoff team next year ala the Jazz and the pick sucks. It could become a lottery pick and we draft a dud. There are too many variables surrounding the potential draft pick. I would rather pick up a player who I know has talent and is just as young as the core on our team. If you watched the Clippers playoff games then you know what I mean when I say Bledsoe will likely be a very good player.

Just because a guy had a couple of good games in a playoff series doesn't mean he is going to be that good.

The rest of the year he shot 39% from the field and 20% from the 3pt line. I wouldn't trade the GS pick, which could get us a guy with more potential like BJ Young, for Bledsoe.
 
I think Bledsoe is a very solid bench player as a 2nd string point guard, but I also think those are not worth the Golden State pick. Sure there is not guarantee that we pick a star but I think the odds are at least 50/50 that we could draft better than Bledsoe with it or at least use it as an asset in a trade.

In his second season he only played in 41 games, because of injury (not including the playoffs). He is a somphore and to come in and play like he did in the playoffs shows something. All I'm saying is the guy has potential and this draft pick isn't worth as much as everyone thinks it is. I would rather get a young guy with potential who has already been in the league for a year possibly two to three at most. Getting something for the pick if everyone values it as high as you ppl do would be the best resort.
 
Clippers are keeping him. They wouldn't get rid of him as part of the Paul trade. They will likely get rid of Mo Williams than Bledsoe

Jeremy Evans has potential and has been in the league for a couple years. Too bad he's a restricted free agent or the Jazz could have traded him for a lottery pick.
 
You guy seriously underrate Bledsoe. He's going to be a top point guard in the league. He's more athletic than Paul, for God's sake. Just give him a little time. The playoffs were the first chance he got to show what's he worth, and he showed plenty.

We'll see. He does all things well, but nothing particularly great. I don't see him being a 'top' PG, but I could see him as a starting PG and doing okay.
 
He may be the most athletic guard in the league. Did you see the hops this kid has and the quickness -- he's quicker than Paul. He's only 22 and a little raw right now, but once he gets control of his ability, or if he does, he will penetrate at will.
