Millsap for Bledsoe?
- Thread starter NotDeadYet
- Start date
Fans outside Clippers overrate DeAndre by far. Fans inside LA want him gone for a guy who can do something other than catch perfect lobs. He doesn't rebound. He's not half the player Garnett is even in his old age. & I can't stand Garnett.
Garnett is waffling hard on his "I bleed green" bull **** anyway. Dude wants another shot. DeAndre and Bledsoe for Garnett, one of their recent draft potentials, and a pick should be plenty. That will give them legitimacy and they should get taken by any team overvaluing No Boards Jordan on a **** contract.
When I look at the Clippers backup big men situation, I kind of feel like this trade is going to happen.
They only play Jordan for 25 mpg, then there backups are Lamar Odom (sucking a big fat one this season), Ryan Hollins (scrub), and Ronny Turiaf (scrub).

Sorry, I meant that as a joke. Just frustrated with the lack of action from the front office that's all. I covet Bledsoe and have for about a year which makes this rumor all the more painful for me.

If this thread reaches 30 pages the trade will happen.
Reckon the dude is Gary Sacks?

I'm sure anything in that article is already in this thread somewhere. All they do is take copies of news articles from around the country re-word it and call it an insider article.

Another thought- Bledsoe and Burks have very similar numbers and also seem very similar except the height difference. Both are OK shooters, excellent drivers, and great defenders. Both are the combo PG/SG.
Bledsoe is probably a more suited PG because he's probably played it more and has better dribbling skills but other than that, if we're getting a combo guard, then why aren't we happy enough with Burks?

What makes you think we are unhappy with Burks? Bledsoe has higher potential as a pg where Burks has a higher potential at sg. I don't want Burks to be a pg, and if we ever do get Bledsoe I don't want him to play sg. As far as I'm concerned Bledsoe is pg and Burks is sg.

This.
Burks isn't even comfortable dribbling the ball up the court. Thats a huge problem if you are trying to play pg. The only thing that Burks does well right now that even resembles a pg, is passing off the pnr. Bledsoe looks a lot more like a pg than Burks does.

I've been saying this for weeks. I've probably seen as many Clipper games as Jazz games this year (I moved to LA last November to start my new research project), and I guarantee you that this fleet of big men removes them from serious title contention. Free-agent-to-be Mr. Chris Paul knows this, too.

How solid would we be at the guard positions with a rotation of Mo Williams, Burks and Bledsoe? Hayward then plays some at SG, but gets most of his minutes at SF. If that were to happen, the Jazz should look to re-sign DeMarre and trade Marvin in the off-season.

Anyone listen to Locke's podcast with John Ireland? Starts out with some interesting talk on Bledsoe.
Do share.
The Clippers guy basically said he'd do the deal of Bledsoe for Millsap and thinks Millsap would be a great fit.
He didn't share any of Locke's reasons of why the Clippers wouldn't do it, and said the only reason they might not is because of team chemistry.
Locke also stated that:
1) He thinks that Clippers are waiting to see if Garnett pans out, if it doesn't, they'll go with Millsap.
2) He wouldn't mind Burks being part of the deal, because he doesn't think we'd be able to pay Burks anyway if we were paying Favors, Hayward, EBled, and Kanter.
And he just retweeted an Ainge quote saying that Ainge doesn't think Boston will make moves before deadline.
Considering that the Jazz still wouldn't have a point guard? Still quite a bit left to be desired.
Bledsoe? Mo is plenty good as a 1st back up. May be sign Tinsley to be our 2nd back up. That's plenty.

Totally agree with both of you.
