Yeah, but if we have to give up the Warriors pick/our pick, is it worth it? Would we rather have a shot at getting Burke, or would we rather have Bledsoe?
Ive been mor for less absent a couple days. Judging by how fast this thread has taken off I'm assuming there have been some substantiated talks? If so, would someone give me the cliff notes? It'll be a couple days until I can read pages to find out.
You're thinking from the Clippers' perspective. From their perspective, yeah I don't know if I'd do the deal. There's no real guarantee that Sap re-signs with them. There isn't a 100% guarantee that Paul will sign with them. Millsap may not put them ahead of the Spurs or OKC. If the Jazz throw in one of their picks so that the Clips can draft a PG or another player this year, that helps them hedge on losing Bledsoe. Still, the whole premise here is that the Clips need to win now and roll the dice. Similar to how KOC took advantage of the Nets.
Edit: If I'm the Clips, I try to get KG for DAJ and Bledsoe. That's their best move. Unless they want to go after Josh Smith.
Wouldn't you guys rather have a PG who passes the ball every now and again?
Bledsoe.
You can't teach athleticism and the ability to finish strong at the rim. Burke is good, but it's hard to imagine him ever being able to do those things. EVER.
Sources saying that Bledsoe for Millsap is being discussed seriously by both sides, both have interest, etc.
We'll see if anything actually happens. There have been a couple of Jazz related bloggers who feel it won't happen that the Jazz don't think Bledsoe is a good fit but I get the feeling they mean that personality wise not in terms of skillset.
Some people here ranting about Bledsoe being overrated, most drooling at the thought.
Every player in NBA is capable of producing an outstanding game once in a while. Even Sundiata had a couple of excellent games for us.If you go and re-watch the Celtics game - you'll see that the potential is there in terms of assists. It's not his first year, but remember he's been out injured for a lot of it as well.
Because the Clips are all in on Chris Paul, irrespective of how great the 2014 draft is.
If it was a guarantee that we would get Burke with one of the picks, or by combining both picks to trade up, I would take Burke every time. The only thing that would make me think of taking the Bledsoe option is that us being able to get Burke isn't a guarantee. We don't need a PG who can finish at the rim at an elite level, we have Burks for on the ball rim attacking. I still think we need a distributor who can shoot more than an athletic finisher.

You mean like Tinsley or Watson?
KOC is doing a good job of talking with both the Spurs and Clips, two teams who are in an arms race with one another. The threat of doing the Al-to-SA deal might gain leverage in the Sap-to-Clips deal.
So you think Paul will see throwing away an asset for a half-year rental and late lottery-mid-first round draft pick as a good move?
