Millsap for Bledsoe?

I wonder if the fact that the Jazz might be facing the Clippers in the playoffs turned off the Clippers from making the trade. I imagine they might fear Bledsoe defensively guarding Paul, since right now they have a huge advantage over us at PG.

That could be. The Jazz and Clips are rivals in the west moving forward. Giving San Antonio Al for scraps isn't attractive if it helps them dominate for another year or two.

Because when you have a good team that is finally healthy but is a piece or two away it makes sense to try to win over accumulating assets. You can't take that for granted.

With no back to backs in the playoffs a guy like Griffin will probably play around 40 minutes a game. Do you really want to give up Bledsoe for a guy to play 8 minutes a game and then probably lose him next year. AJ would have made more sense for the Clippers.
