Wonder why nobody every talks about the first trade doc made with the clips. Eric and a draft pic for Jared dudle and JJ reddic. Could be one of the most lopsided trades of the past 3 years at this point. I think this was more of a push of CP3 than ownership , eric was on his heels and he stated many times that it would not workout with him being a backup. I think chris was feeling the tension and wanted to be the head huncho in clipper land. For what its worth I read how sterling wanted to veto the deal because he did not think JJ was that good.

Would not work with bledsoe being a back up*

 It’s weird to see people bash J.J. Redick because he’s opened his game up a bit. Prior to coming into the league, he was the player we loved to hate, because of his one skill. I take him with a grain of salt as an NBA player at this stage because he doesn’t hold a label of being just a sharpshooter anymore, if this makes sense to anyone else.

In his college days, he would not put the ball on the deck at all for a transition play, not to say he does it a ton now. You just have to appreciate the work ethic outside of what’s supposed to be a "given" when speaking on a player regressing. It’s not the same one or two dribble pull-ups or off-the-ball screen pull-ups. I’m not a fan of Redick, but I respect him for adding more to his game at the cost of sacrificing being an NBA Sniper.

Exactly an open shooter, for blake and deandre and chris is something that they needed. But looking back jj was on his way out of bucks land anyway. Did you really have to give up that much?

I’m not a Clippers fan, so I’m not at liberty to give you a legit response to your question.

I never understood this trade. I thought it was terrible. I thought they moved Eric Bledsoe too soon and I didn’t understand why they just didn’t wait until JJ Reddick became a free-agent to sign him. The Clippers bascially traded Bledsoe *and a protected first round pick* for a one year broken down rental in Jared Dudley, a second round pick (which I think was just them getting their own second round pick back from the Bucks) and Reddick, who they could’ve just signed via free-agency.  

It was just a bad deal… They could’ve kept Bledsoe and signed Reddick… And then used Bledsoe in a major sign and trade or something later when he was able to command a higher salary. 

I just don’t think Doc Rivers did a good job.

 I thought they could have gotten more for bledsoe. Redick is solid and fits with their team, but I think they should have been able to get a lottery protected first round pick from the suns instead of dudley or with dudley.
