Clippers and Jazz have "a level of mutual interest" in a trade which would send Eric Bledsoe to Utah in exchange for Paul Millsap

interesting

millsap's a solid player, he's gonna come off the bench? or play the 3? idgi
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
clippers should leave a good thing the hell alone imo

paul millsap is pretty amazing
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
well they hate playing deandre in crunch time vs good teams and a millsap-blake frontline would be pretty damn good... def better than what they can throw out there as the alternative
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
"amazing" is not a word i'd use to describe millsap. i mean, he's better than bledsoe right now but the fit is weird. he's 6-8 and doesn't play much taller than that
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
but it's like they've spent so long as an org constantly tinkering and filling the holes left when donald sterling refuses to pay anyone beyond their rookie deal that they don't know how to just enjoy having an actual good basketball team for once.
there's a good piece waiting to be written on whatever it was that knocked donald sterling off his donkey and stood him up with the desire in his heart to win it all just once before shuffling off this mortal coil...

― 乒乓, Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:44 (eleven years ago) link
"much" is the key word, he's a nice rebounder for his size for sure, but he's not a shot-blocker or anything
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:46 (eleven years ago) link
again talent-wise he makes the clippers better on paper right now. i just think the fit's weird

btw the basketball-reference twitter feed is tweeting links to all of jordan's 50 point games today in honor of his bday. here's a 50 point, 14 rebound, 6 assist, 3 steal, one block, zero-turnover effort http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198911030CHI.html
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
i mean, the only team against which a blake-millsap frontline would be a problem would be memphis, but it's not exactly like deandre jordan is a good post up defender anyway
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 February 2013 17:52 (eleven years ago) link
millsap's PER has been at 20 for the last 2.5 seasons, you could prob say that for like 15 other guys in the league

xpost loool 1st game of the season
― moullet, Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:07 (eleven years ago) link
i understand what kevin is saying but the clippers system on defense dont really rely on deandre shot blocking abilities. i mean like pacers/hibbert, noah/bulls, dwight/magic, drummond/pistons
personally if i were the clips i wouldnt trade deandre.
― moullet, Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:16 (eleven years ago) link
i think it's a bad use of money to pay $11m a year to a guy that you're deathly afraid of being on the court vs a good team with less than 5 mins left in the game
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
wait, the deal was bledsoe for millsap i thought
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
yeah idk why we're talking about deandre but i would totally trade him in a millisecond in the right deal
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
sure, the KG deal for example
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:22 (eleven years ago) link
deandre for kg, okdeandre + bledsoe, no
― moullet, Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:46 (eleven years ago) link
lol well the celtics aren't going to trade their best player for deandre jordan straight-up. i'd do jordan + bledsoe if i were the clips
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 February 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
i'd do that easily.... they could prob get a pick back too
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 February 2013 19:58 (eleven years ago) link
bledsoe is gonna be a great player but as long as CP3 is there he'll never be able to fully reach his potential. i think they should definitely try and deal him this year for a major piece. they could make a run to the finals.

Would be sweet for the Clips to keep Bledsoe but he's such obvious tradebait, pretty straightforward "sell high" move. Think Millsap makes any team he goes to better and would probably fit better in a situation where he's 3rd/4th option. Only worry w/ the Clips would be Millsap clogging up the lane I guess.
What sucks about DeAndre is that he needs an amazing / creative pg to have any effect on the offensive end, so he'll probably put up worse numbers wherever he ends up.

it's kinda weird how Nash looks totally washed up but his shooting numbers are still insane; makes me wonder what he would do with a roster that actually made any kind of sense for him
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 17 February 2013 22:45 (eleven years ago) link
yeah he's just noticeably never in the flow of the game

Because you have to be a lot of patient [laughs] when you think you are ready and the doctor's saying, like, "You still have two more weeks before you can run." And you are at home sitting on the couch, thinking on a basketball court and trying, like, not to think, because [puts hand to heart] it hurts inside. It's something. You have to be patient.

cuz the jazz don't wanna trade favors?

Yeah Jazz have been pretty dead-set on Favors/Kanter.

I kinda think Bledsoe between being not that good a shooter or distributor will be dece but not great, if they could get milsap seems like a no brainier
