Bledsoe to rehab in D-League - Los Angeles Clippers Blog - ESPN Los Angeles

Sort of missed. But Bledsoe will start his rehab assignment and should be back with the club shortly. Giving us exactly a month and a half to figure out his value.

A two game stint. He could be in a Clips uni by Sunday.

I have a feeling that they might leave him down there for longer… or let him yo-yo up and down for a bit.

I like it

I like the idea of a rehab assignment for Bledsoe. He gets to play in games tonight and tomorrow and then join the team in Denver.

Obviously the Clippers have too many guards between 6’ and 6’4" and not enough useful bigs (or bigger guards for that matter). So the question of who they can trade and who they can get becomes important. Mo is playing great, which increases his trade value, but also makes him hard to part with. Bledsoe is the youngest, so they probably don’t want to lose him and his potential. Foye is easy to part with, but won’t bring much in trade.

We’ll see what names get floated between now and the deadline. Foye is expiring, so he has value there.

Foye Also Makes The Most Sense To Me

if one of the guards is moved.

Foye makes sense, but remember

His value is based on his expiring contract. We can’t hope to get much out of him unless it has to do with a team trying to clear up Cap Space.

if any thing Lil Wayne is going to be moved

well Courtney Fortson and moved to free agency

Bledsoe is a lot of fun

but many have a short memory regarding his shortcomings last year. I am sure he is tradeable but for what or who? I see him more of a second player in a 4 player trade rather than a one for one trade.

Sounds about right to me.

Lakers Aquire: Bledsoe, Kris Humprhies
Clippers Aquire: Dwight, Deron
Magic Aquire: Bynum
Nets: Gasol
That’s fair right? oh wait, this isn’t a Lakers forum.

u have to be a little more reasonable

Lakers need to include Luke Walton in the package as well

oh and we wont give up the Bledsoe potential without AT LEAST Ryan Anderson also

I'm not sure the Clips want to part with Bledsoe

He’s quick and can score. His contract is not burdensome. Foye is not in the team’s long term plans unless he takes a pay cut next year and Billups is also unknown.

They’d probably keep him unless they get back a young and talented Wing, but that’s probably not going to happen. I agree Foye is most likely to go, if he goes.
