1st rumor that the pelicans and the clips are looking at a trade that would send Bledsoe and Jordan to the pelicans for Eric Gordon and robin Lopez.

a- this means we would lose out on the Bledsoe sweepstakes
b- that means the pelicans won't draft a pg in the draft again pushing down players we might want

2nd the wolves desperately need help at the 2 guard. McCollum is similar to shved. the rumor is they feel they can make a move and get oj mayo this offseason and will be looking big in this draft.

a- that would push McCollum down and Dallas would have 3 pg to choose from meaning we would have a choice of either schöder, McW, or McCollum.

3rd not a rumor but Kevin peloton thinks that karasev is the sleeper in this draft and the best shooter. he is shooting 49% in Russia this year.

Wow if the clips get back Gordon that means they basically stole Paul!!

seriously, and then it makes David Stern look like the idiot of the century for making that trade for "basketball reasons" instead of the one with the lakers.

I highly doubt any of these rumors have any substance to them. The clippers need bigs not another undersized guard. None this will happen.

Yeah, don't they have J Crossover? He plays the same position as Eric Gordon right?

This is the part I really cared about. I gave a few that things are going to fall the Jazz way during the draft.
 
This is from ESPN rumors. https://insider.espn.go.com/blog/nba/rumors/

There is sure to be plenty of buzz in the weeks and months to come about the future of New Orleans shooting guard Eric Gordon and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe. Today, Michael McNamara of BourbonStreetShots.com tweets that the two teams could already be considering a deal that involves the both of them.

Here's more on that.

McNamara tweets: "Off air with Clippers writer, he said he has heard a lot of buzz from FO sources that a Bledsoe/(DeAndre) Jordan for EG/(Robin) Lopez deal could go down."

This is sure to get the attention of both fan bases. The Clips are already quite familiar with Gordon, being that the shooting guard started his career there before heading east in the Chris Paul deal. If the team resigns Paul, as expected, and brings in a talent like Gordon, suddenly the Clips potentially have a third top option to turn to along with Paul and Blake Griffin. And replacing Jordan with Lopez would give them a much better contract and arguably a better center. What they'd lose with Jordan, though, is an athletic 5 who could run the floor and block a lot of shots.

From the Pelicans' perspective, this would give them another defensive presence to pair alongside Anthony Davis on the frontline, along with a talented young point guard who could conceivably push Greivis Vasquez to the bench or to shooting guard, depending on the development of Austin Rivers in his second season. That may not sit very well with Vasquez, though, and it's arguable how much the team really needs to address the point guard spot after Vasquez's breakout season.

Again, this is just a rumor for now, but it's something to think about going forward in what could be a very interesting offseason for both teams.
