Millsap for Bledsoe?

Maybe they think they can get more in the summer. Maybe they want to hold onto him in case Paul leaves.

I don't think they will ever get a better offer than Millsap. There are 4 decent PGs in this year's draft. So teams currently without a future PG can acquire someone there. (i.e., Jazz can acquire Burke, for example).

Then there's '14 draft as well.

So I think the market for Bledsoe will start to shrink. Also once they signed CP3, teams will know that Clippers will start to get desperate.

I doubt another team would be willing to give up more than Millsap for Bledsoe. Millsap + a pick is a pretty good deal - if they don't take it then do it at their own risk IMO.

An expiring player who plays the same position as their second best player. If they don't think Millsap puts them over the top or they don't think they can/will re-sign him, what's the point?
 
Really surprised this deal didn't happen or one with Jefferson to Clippers. They badly need somebody in the final minutes of a close game to hit FT's. Don't think they can win it all with Jordan in the final minutes of a close game. Their backups are very weak.

Doesn't mean he doesn't have value though. Plus if we throw them a '13 pick as well they can get a nice young player too.

My point is Bledsoe is good, but most teams have a PG of the future nowadays (with more coming in the coming drafts). Only a handful of teams will be willing to give up something of value for a back up PG.

Agreed.

You're on fire today Weezur!!
 
I think Millsap or Jefferson give the Clippers a chance that they currently don't have. Their big rotation could sink them no matter how good their best players play, IMO.
 
I'm still surprised that a three way trade bringing them a solid backup PG for one of our picks never got brought up more seriously. I would think that would help mitigate the loss of Bledsoe.

Or simply, just give them Tinsley or Earl.

We're fine with Mo, Bledsoe, Burks.
 
My official prediction;

Pre-trade deadline
Bledsoe = Really, really good

Post-trade deadline
Bledsoe in a Jazz uni = Savior, God, future all-star
Bledsoe in a Clippers uni = meh, overrated
