Don't we play the clippers coming up this week? Trade Millsap then he smokes the Jazz for 50. Sounds about right.
Millsap for Bledsoe?
- Thread starter NotDeadYet
- Start date
Think shorter Westbrook if he weren't obsessed with that stupid floater. Not that good, but his game reminds me of him as does his ability to stuff the stat sheet.
I'm fine with really whatever comes back with Bledsoe. If they want to get rid of Butler, cool. Odom, cool. Not picky and if we blew the trade over something like that I would be pissed.

Westbrook's a brickhead. Bledsoe's not that stupid, is he?
I guess I mean he's very athletic, defensively inclined. From what I've seen (which admittedly is less than I'd like to) he isn't a headcase. His ability to drive is very good. Not a great shooter. Great in transition.
Edit: And not that this is really that important, but my god it would be FUN to watch a team with Bledsoe playing 20-30 minutes a game. Bledsoe, like Favors, is inexperienced but has a knack for big plays.
I dream of seeing Bledsoe/Hayward/Carroll/Favors/Kanter. That lineup would be insane in transition.
Not to mention a very very athletic and a very good defensive team.
With Burks coming off the bench as a 6th man for instant scoring it could be really awesome.
Bledsoe/Mo/Burks/Foye
Hayward/Burks/Foye
Carroll/Marvin/Hayward
Favors/Marvin/Extra big
Kanter/Extra big/Favors
Would love to see that next year.

As a clipper fan, I'd like to apologize for a few of those idiots who don't realize how good Millsap is and what exactly Bledsoe's value is. We're not all that bad haha.

Lol. Williams plays both primary backup spots for sf and Pf. That's a cool trick. Lol

I feel like these rumors may have something to them, so I decided to sign up. And first off, I'd like to apologize for some of those ridiculous comments made from some clipper fans on that forum. I promise not all of us are that stupid.
Regarding Bledsoe, he's an athletic freak. He's got a huge wingspan despite being around 6'0. Elite defender (blocks shots, gets a ton of steals...), no mid-range jumpshot but an okay 3-point shooter, that part of his game will improve. He does turn the ball over a lot, but his role right now is to be an energy guard off the bench, his decision making will get better as well. I really wish we could keep him but it looks like Utah might be the best spot for him.
I'd love to get Millsap on the clippers but my main concerns are:
- Would he take a paycut or sign an extension?
- Is he okay with coming off the bench?
- Can he start at Small Forward and be effective?
My feeling is that he'd leave in the offseason for more cash and a starting gig.
But the suspense is killing me!! I can't wait till thursday.
