sculpting an new team - trades

[ForexPirate]

Okay Clips interested in Doc, Garnet and Pierce - need to pick them up to keep CP3.

First trade - Doc, Garnet, Pierce and Avery for Bledsoe, Griffen, Jordan and Butler

Second trade - Rondo for Tyreke Evans and Cousins

draft Shroeder with 16th pick

New line-up

Bledsoe / Shroeder
Evans / Terry
Griffen/ Butler
Green / Sully
Cousins / Jordan

and we're competitive again ...

not terribly realistic. 

Clips aren't moving Griffin.  despite limitations being exposed in his game, that kid is their franchise player.  Also, if we're sending PP and KG, the Clips need to send more salary (bad contracts).  We would hopefully be able to get Bledsoe and Jordan to go with Butler's deal but not sure which other bad deal we'd have to take on. I wouldn't want to include AB in the deal and would want a future 1st from them as compensation for Doc.
One other item -- I don't consider Bledsoe or Jordan to be more than an average starter as a player.  neither is particularly exceptional at their position.

While I think Rondo is worth Evans and Cousins, Sac probably wouldn't, especially without Rondo showing how/if he's recovered from the injury.  We'd most likely have to send out someone with Rondo, hopefully just Melo or better yet JET.

Also, acquiring Jordan and Cousins is redundant and an expensive redundancy.  especially Jordan -- he's not worth the contract he signed

Bledsoe/Shroeder
Evans/Lee/AB
Green/Butler
Sully/Bass
Cousins/Jordan

talented roster but where's the leadership coming from?  None of them are proven winners and there's no cohesiveness on that roster.

I would the Clippers trade goes down I would hope to see something like this

KG+Doc -> Bledsoe+Jordan+#25+future pick

Pierce+14´2nd(via Nets)-> Marrion+Carter+#13 (Pierce bought out by Mavs)

Bledsoe+Bass+Unguaranteed Contracts -> S&T Milsap

one of Terry/Lee/Carter -> S&T Mozgov

Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Carter
Green/Marrion
Milsap/Sully
Jordan/Mozgov

Melo/#13/#16/#25

Maybe we could go under the luxury tax with this roster, at least we would  be under the apron. marrions/carters contracts are expiring and terry/Jordan only 2 years left so you can maybe use them as trade assets in the future. Rondo/Green/Milsap is not going to win you a championchip but ist a good coore which is just entering ist prime. You also have 6 Players on a rookie contract. I would be very pleased to go Forward with this. What do you think? which Teams might demand more?

Here's what I think it will  be
1. Doc to LAC costing them two first round picks to break his contract
2. KG for Bledsoe and Jordan
3. Pierce to Houston/Dallas for one large contract that that team wants off its books, plus some prospects/picks. He would then be cut and sign with LAC.

BOS: Fab Melo + Jordan Crawford
GSW: Festus Ezeli + 2nd round pick
