    Could PHX get that 7 or 8th spot this year since the Lakers wont make it?

    Hell no. That team is a dumpster fire right now.

    So Milwaukee got 2 second round picks out of this?? Wow...

    Looks weak as ? on paper, but they could've just lost Reddick straight up with nothing to show for it. That's what you always have to consider when a player with an expiring deal is traded.

    Even tho 2nd round picks in the NBA are like 6th and 7th rounders in the NFL.

    I wish the bulls would be more proactive.Either acquire a Big who can do work on the block(Pau Gasol) or another creator(Monta)

    They are foolish if they think rose returning and adding a couple shooters will be enough to beat miami especially if we lose nate da great.This will basically be the same team from 2011

    Agree with Zach Lowe, Clippers do need a wing stopper. Also seeing what Doc does with this defense with no KG or Thibs.

    Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler will go to the Suns, Jared Dudley and JJ Redick to the Clippers and 2 2nd-round picks to Bucks, sources tell Y


    Clippers adding shooters to the team.

    Oh woww. Clips settled imo

    I'd rather sign a bonafide wing FA like Mayo or Iggy, then still have Bledsoe to trade

    Jj redick is barely a starter

    I diaagree, see
    I don't know their exact cap situation but i doubt they can afford iggy. Mayos overrated as ? (ask rick carlisle) and reddick is is just as good if not better when you look at what lac will ask of him...

    Mayo can go get buckets better than reddick, who needs to be fed.

    When Blake's J/post game freezes up, u want a wing to score/create without having cp3 do all the work. This trade does nothing to adress that need from last yr...

    Re: money, idk either, but it just doesnt seem they have much to show for it. Probly b/c money-wise, Deandre Jordan is part of their 'big 3'...Deandre Jordan..

    As of today, they're starting 5 is:

    Paul
    Reddick
    Barnes?
    Griffin
    Jordan

    Thats not gon cut it.

    Clippers front office is serious about being contenders. Nice trade imo.

    Nah CLIPPERS LOST Butler (better defender and all around scorer)>>>Redick (he is gerald green status if dude not makin 3s he useless and a poor defender)

    Bledsoe(younger,more athletic)>>Dudley (same issues as Redick)

    Bledsoe can't shoot,Being younger and more athletic is irrelevant.Clippers added 2 good shooters to space the floor for paul and griffin

    Exactly. They gave up the young bull, the energy, the fire...for a stationary shooter

    Then they gave up tough juice, a OG, a respected vet...for a gump like Dudley lol

    Nah, no thanks.

    If clippers would've got Shannon Brown instead of Dudley then it would've been a good trade imo

    Bledsoes skill set doesn't matter because they weren't going to be able to sign him anyways...

    Co sign, and if Monta Ellis is "solid" on defense then Reddick is a shut down defender, Doc is loving this deal right now, Blu's mother should of swallowed him

    Don't get me wrong I love Bledsoe, I was one of the first reppin for him before any trade rumors saying Charlotte should trade for him and make him the pg of the future, but the Clippers won with this deal and now their snatching up Landry and keeping Barnes? If Doc can bring that defensive culture to LA then the wcf isn't a long shot
