The trade as submitted would cost the Clippers guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman and forward Al-Farouq Aminu. It would also include Minnesota's first-round draft pick in 2012.
i know jordan posted same thing, but apparently its been submitted now, this sounds abt right fwiw - like the hornets arent getting full value, but theres serious potential there - one legit young player, one serious draft pick, one lol huge expiring contract, and one guy who has maybe an off chance of being good or w/e

man I wish they could have done it w/o giving up gordon
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Monday, 12 December 2011 14:21 (twelve years ago) link
agreed m/l w/jordan via that huge argument up thread that adding bledsoe and the other draft pick to the trade wouldve gutted the clips to an extent that they likely never wouldve recovered - recall that the celtics held onto rondo when they traded for kg - although that trade prob wouldve been irl full value for paul, its instructive as to why teams never get full value for their stars
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:21 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but w/o gordon its kinda a bag of shit
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:22 (twelve years ago) link
now if motherfucking donald sterling would just sell the team we might be onto something, cant the government send him to jail or w/e
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:26 (twelve years ago) link
Weird to keep Bledsoe not Gordon. I guess the thought is there are more wings than point guards and Bledsoe has more time before an extension needs to be offered.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:26 (twelve years ago) link
i imagine it was just the package wasnt good enough w/o gordon
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:27 (twelve years ago) link
gordon's a wing?
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Monday, 12 December 2011 14:28 (twelve years ago) link
yah hes a 2
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:29 (twelve years ago) link
Some reports are that NOLA wanted Bledsoe more, I'm guessing as a direct replacement for Paul and because they have more time to judge him before offering big money.
But they should be able to get one of the bazillion point guards from Minny; reports are saying they've signed Barea.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:31 (twelve years ago) link
They at the end there being Minnesota. Too many theys in that post.
thats weird to want bledsoe more, seems like gordon is p clearly the superior player, and there are like one million good young point guards and no good young shooting guards
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:42 (twelve years ago) link
if i were them id be tempted to try to sign gordon to a long contract right now as his value is likely to increase this season
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:44 (twelve years ago) link
I'm sure it's money and team building. What is the chance Gordon signs an extension? 20%? Bledsoe they'd get for a longer period, better chance to build.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
eh players like guaranteed money
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
gordon is also injury prone
― am0n shumpert (dayo), Monday, 12 December 2011 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
Now WOJ is reporting Gordon is not in it. Guess we'll find out sometime.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
has this been discussed, clips have paul for at least two years
A source close to Paul said he has decided to pick up the option on his contract as part of the potential deal, meaning he would be in Los Angeles through at least the 2012-2013 season.
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
if the clips keep gordon they will be a p amazing team
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 12 December 2011 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
if the clips manage to keep gordon it will be a complete hose-job

@sheridanhoopsChris Sheridan
If E.Gordon put in the deal, it's a different story. But Odom, Scola, Martin, Dragic & Knicks' No. 1 > Kaman, Bledsoe, Aminu & Minn. No. 1

I haven't been following this year's draft - why is it so major? who's in it?
everyone on kentucky and unc
― k3vin k., Monday, 12 December 2011 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
Couldn't disagree with Sheridan more, especially for a team desperate for a buyer. It'll be a hose job and yet better than the initial 3-way trade with Lakers and Rockets because that initial offer was shit two years down the road. This way they have Bledsoe, Aminu and the Minny pick to build around.
