Latest on what Clippers would have to put on table for CP3.

I would expect a deal with the MIN pick, Al-Farouq Aminu, Eric Bledsoe, and maybe a Willie Warren to get some serious consideration. That's two top prospects, a lower tier prospect, and a virtual lock for a Top 10 pick in the 2012 draft.

Ok so that really leaves two major free agent options for Houston to get a center this season. Nene or Sam Dalmebert. They could try a S&T for a guy like Kaman too I suppose. After Nene and Emobert, there is a real drop off to guys like Kwame Brown.

Man no lie I don't care who we sign we just need an NBA quality Center, no Hasheem Thabeet does not count.

Gil, come down to LA bruh. Yes, I said it. ASAP.


Of course Denver didn't receive elite talent. Nobody said they did J. All I'm saying is, I'd rather have my superstar let me know what's up, so I can trade him and get something
back for him. Though it's a selfish act by the player, it's still a help to the franchise to not be stuck with a simple sign and trade.

Denver had a billion people on their bandwagon btw, after their trade. For good reason. I wasn't one of them, but they were a damn good team.

I see your point, but Denver is going to just as bad as Cleveland for the forseeable future IMO. Also, Cleveland didn't suck last just because 'Bron left. That's a different subject altogether.

Its tough being a fan of a small market team, especially when you have limited resources.

This is a trade that I like at this point, low salary implications and talent/pick. I expect the Hornets to try to get Eric Gordon in return tho and who knows maybe they eventually get him.

[iAM-IncReDiBLe-]

If I was the clippers I would keep Gordon. Him an Blake are going to be one of the best tandoms for years. They just need a solid pg who knows how to distribute the ball. Obviously cp3 an Blake would be amazing also but Idk just feel like Gordon is going to be a star.

I think they have to give Gordon and that MIN pick. Who knows, NO could throw in Emeka to go with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. They already have Caron Butler, so there won't be a lack of scoring if they didn't have Gordon.

Shoot, I wouldn't expect Eric Gordon to stay anyway when his contract expired, LAC better trade him before he walks, haha.

Do you know who is supposed to start between Douglas, Shumpert, and Bibby?

My guess would be TD to start the season unless Bibby gets a solid grasp of the offense. As long as he doesn't go up in flames he'll prob take over @ some point. Iman will prob get some time @ the 1 but my thought is he'll primarily be a 2.

I agree that the Butler signing seems to patch up the hole trading Gordon would leave. Thought it was a little head first but I like it for that reason, plus how badly the Clippers needed a 3. Going to have to see what Butler can do, haven't seen him play for quite some time it seems.

Hard to predict who leaves and goes at this point, but it's certain that he'd see a few big offers in FA. Gordons definitely a stud at a weak field of SGs in the foreseeable future.

I'm a laker fan so take it for what its worth but is that even close to being a better trade talent wise than they vetoed trade? I will be furious if Gordon isn't in this deal. I like Bledsoe and Aminu but they are exactly as you said...prospects. We have no idea whether they will be able to step up if given more time.

That offer in the end could be Anthony Davis or Jared Sullinger, Bledsoe, Aminu and Warren but it could also end up being Tyler Zeller (a good player but not a potential NBA superstar). Is Zeller, Bledsoe, Aminu and Warren enough for the best PG in the league?

Have to agree. It'd be an outrage if they accepted the deal without EG. Bledsoe and Aminu? The haul they received in the original package seems to trumpet that Clippers package.

San Antonio has their eyes on Chris Kaman

meh 2x

The way things are looking he maybe our only option. I don't think he'd be a good fit, but its like the Spurs have leprecy or something.

Blah x1000

I'd love if we could pull a trade for Al Jefferson. He's a plodder too and is a below-average defender, but would mesh better with Duncan, Splitter and/or Blair/Bonner.

Man, that's a hard decision.

And once Paul throws a plethora of alley oops to Blake, he may want to stay.

Who would you guys take? Gordon or the MIN pick? That pick could become Austin Rivers, Harrison Barnes, Anthony Davis, etc.

[Drewski]

@WojYahooNBA Clippers management has assured Eric Gordon that he will not be included in any trade package for Chris Paul, league source tells Y!

The saga continues
