If we do some form of this trade, I hope we bring in a 3rd team and send Bledsoe their way. Maybe when some of the dust starts to settle and Atlanta is frustrated by not getting any big names, we could work a sign and trade for Josh Smith.
Something like:
LAC gets: Doc, KG and Terry
ATL gets: Bledsoe, Bass, Lee and a handful of non guaranteed contracts(Randolph, White, TWill)
We get: Josh Smith, D.Jordan, C.Butler and a pick or 2
I emphasize IF something like this happens. I would rather keep the Band together at this point, but if it happens I would prefer something like this.
I don't think we will get anything for Pierce in this scenario, but I feel like we will release him, saving $10million and he will sign for MLE with the Clippers.
Clippers would be going HAM for one or two rings and we would have a lineup like:
Jordan/Melo
Smith/Sully
J.Green/C.Butler
Bradley
Rondo
Fill in the blanks with the picks we pick up/our pick and short contract, inexpensive free agents.
Just my 2 cents.
