Boston & Clippers Talking Blockbuster (KG & Rivers for Jordan & Bledsoe)

[EmpireWF]

The proposed talks center around….

First, Doc Rivers would be let out of his deal with Boston and he'd go to the Clippers.

To Boston:
C DeAndre Jordan
2 First Round Draft Picks
and they also want G Eric Bledsoe

To Clippers:
F Kevin Garnett

Way too much for KG

Rumors I've read also include Paul Pierce...

 

[Villain]

Yeah I've heard Rivers, Garnett, Pierce to Clippers. Then Clippers give back DeAndre Jordan, picks, sign and trade Butler, and Bledsoe.

If Bledsoe would be involved, I wouldn't be a fan of including picks. Jordan plus picks, or Jordan and Bledsoe. Not both. It'd be better for Bledsoe to get moved because I think he deserves to be a starter.

If its bledsoe or bust do pass on this deal?

The picks will have to be in there due to a competition clause in Rivers' contract. It states that Rivers can't work for another NBA team during the tenure of his contract with the Celtics. In order for that to be waived by Danny Ainge? The Celtics will need to receive picks and cash options in return.

Essentially they're working on two separate trades. One that covers Rivers and then a second involving the players that wish to go with Rivers (KG/Pierce).

Considering what the Celtics got KG/Allen for? There's no way they don't get value in return.

My thoughts on this deal.

 

[Vinsane]

I'm surprised Bill is backing the blow up plan. I guess he doesn't see anyway to keep this team together either.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Doc Rivers been informed Clippers won't accept Celtics offer. Rivers prepared to stay in Boston, sources.

 

[EmpireWF]

LA won't give up Bledsoe, so deal is hanging by a thread.

Way too much for KG

I could be wrong, but I bet the Clips are thinking they're giving up Jordan for KG and Rivers which makes it much better for them. If they have an ounce of brain in any of their heads they wouldn't be doing this just to get a 37 yo PF they'll have to limit minutes for.

But Bledsoe wouldn't be a starter in Boston, unless he played the 2, so I don't think he's clamoring to go there.

Dumb move - why make your team older?

They don't want to give up Bledsoe because they want to trade him somewhere else.

 

[Primetime]

Now we'll hear all about Bledsoe and Griffin to the Lakers for Dwight Howard again. Yay.

 

[Villain]

If its bledsoe or bust do pass on this deal?

I don't. CP3 isn't going anywhere.

Yeah that's a pipe dream.

 

[EmpireWF]

Boston wants to add one of their big contracts to the deal if they can't get Bledsoe.

Clippers won't do anything that makes CP3 unwilling to sign.

 

[JimLeavy59]

Bucks should clear cap and sign CP3 and D12.



Only in my dreams.

 

[Argath]

Clippers back out and talks are "off" per espn

A good free agent that wants to go to Milwaukee? :nope:

Rats don't want to go to Milwaukee...
