    People really loved the Redick and Dudley pickups in the offseason. They did need shooting, but Bledsoe seems to be panning out pretty damn well and you have to wonder if they'd be more of a contender with him backing up both Crawford and CP3. Who knows if Bledsoe develops coming off the bench for the Clips though...

    I never understood the Dudley acquisition. He hasn't been particularly good for a couple years now. Redick, on the other hand, seems to get better each year he's in the league.

    Well they didn't want to pay Bledsoe and he doesn't provide much off the ball. CP3 will dominate the ball so I think it was a good move for them

    I think it looks worse for Milwaukee, why did they join the three way trade sending Reddick to LAC and letting Phoenix get Bledose? They could've kept Bledsoe for themselves. That team made some terrible roster decisions last summer.

    The Lakers are such a joke they could get the #1 pick and I'm not even worried about them being able to win anything.

    Eh, Bledsoe is just so much better than those guys now you can't help but think they traded down on that one. Maybe Bledsoe's value never gets as high as it currently is, but Paul gets dinged up a lot and hes not young. In reality it wasn't that lopsided of a trade at the time- Bledsoe just panned out hard in the way the Suns were praying he would. But you've still gotta be critical of the Clips, they more than anyone should have known what they had.

    The shooting helps their roster balance but I'm less afraid of them than I would be if they had Bledsoe playing like he is now. Again, thats just an "if" though.

    We just don't have guys that can fastbreak. Seems like every other team has 2 guards that break down the D one on one. We have Dame, who can't finish at the rim, and nobody else.

    CJ can't come back fast enough.

    That is very true. Wes is not very athletic either and dame can't finish to save his life. We are a jump shooting team.

    Everyone makes it sound like we have a huge lead in standings but suns are about to win their 19th game which means they are 4 and half back of us.

    ESPN is saying that the Cavs and Lakers are talking about a Bynum for Gasol swap (and I would assume other from Cleveland to match salaries).

    I can't imagine why the Cavs would do it, nor can I imagine why the Lakers would do it. It potentially gets them out of Gasols contract...but only 6 months early. Big deal?

    For those that can stomach Tommy Heinsohn, LP has Kelly Olynyk playing the game of his life right now. Just made 2 3's and his 4th assist to go with 16pts and a block

    The L*kers would do it b/c they're giving up Gasol anyway, need to suck worse to get a better pick/more lotto balls, and can cut about 20M in salary and luxury tax by trading Gasol for Bynum and cutting Bynum.

    CLE? Dunno--maybe they think Gasol is better than Anthony Bennett? ;) And they aren't getting a thing out of Bynum for the rest of the year, but still have to pay him 6M
