Jazz Talking Milsap/Bledsoe Swap?

[Pugz]

The Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz are discussing a trade centered on Eric Bledsoe for Paul Millsap.

Bledsoe is the Clippers' best asset to be moved, though two sources with knowledge of the team's thinking predicted he would not be moved.

Millsap will be a free agent this offseason and the Jazz want to build around a younger core.

This would be huge for the Jazz. Finally get the PG they need, get rid of the log jam and get Favors and Kanter more minutes.

But the Clippers aren't going to play Blake at C.

Bledsoe/Odom for Millsap would probably be the deal.

why would they play blake at C? i think we can all agree their biggest weakness is big man depth and milsap could get in 24-28mpg off the bench; backing up blake and dj.

keeping him longterm could be an issue tho.

This would be a great move by the Jazz, but I just get this feeling the Clippers won't pull the trigger.

Because Milsap is 10x the player Jordan is, so it would be ideal for him to play a lot more than Jordan, which would make the Clippers uber small.

You have 96 minutes to hand out between the 4 and the 5.

Blake and Jordan are only playing a combined 58 minutes a night. That leaves another 38 minutes to give out.

I personally think Blake could play solid minutes at the 5.

milsap would also help pull the D out when he's on the floor with dj or blake.
