    i understand the allure, he is 23 years old, where wes is 26, but check the stats, they are almost identical, and actually, in mathews favor

    The Clippers should be looking to trade Bledsoe. The guy should be starting, he never will behind Paul, and he'll be a free agent in another year. They can't afford to pay both of them. I wonder what they could get back for him.

    They are holding onto him until Paul officially resigns. They don't want to trade Bledsoe and then lose Chris even if it is only a slim chance.

    Wonder if they'd be interested in getting Eric Gordon back, something like Bledsoe/Odom/Green for Gordon works on paper. Would the Clips risk the contract to reacquire him? I think Bledsoe would work really well next to Vasquez, him defending PGs while Vasquez defends SGs and runs the team on offense.

    Maybe for a bad team since he's been uneven as a starter with CP3 down. Darren Collison was much more impressive when CP3 went down back in New Orleans and it never materialized into any sort of long term deal for him so far.

    You are really only looking at one side of the ball. Collison was impressive running the team. Bledsoe has been uneven there. Bledsoe is already close to an elite defender however. His rebounds/steals/blocks line is much better than Collison's ever was.

    I was just about to agree when he got badly juked by Felton in the Knicks/Clipps game I'm watching now.

    Blazers should be looking to go after Redick, Turner or Shumpert.

    SA offered D Blair to Detroit but nothing. Hear Boston, Miami, Portland could have interest.

    In all seriousness though, what would he be worth? His stats seem way down.

    Would obviously be the sixth man here unless his knees exploded before he even got off of the plane (could happen).

    A 2nd round pick. SA doesn't seem to want him, don't see anyone giving up much for him, or they would have jumped at it by now.

    Chris Broussard is usually on point.

    That is because he is too short to defend SFs let alone Centers!
