You do realize that he was coming off a rookie year and a major injury?


Chris Paul was coming off a major injury...

And that they refused to give up Bledsoe as part of the deal?


They refused to give up Bledsoe AND Gordon. That's a huge distinction. The Hornets apparently had their choice of Bledsoe or Gordon and chose Gordon.

Besides, players develop. Bledsoe is playing well this year.


He has the same years of experience as Vasquez and his numbers do not suggest he is much better. Is Vasquez incapable of developing? He may very well be an upgrade over Vasquez, but I'm not seeing it. Either way, the upgrade is small and the price is high.

His last season here he was coming off a major injury. It's not like he had his injury and signed with the clippers the next year.

But Tuesday night, the Hornets (on behalf of themselves, or with the league's prompting; we'll probably never know) called back. They wanted to take one more pass at it. Roeser contnued talks with Litvin, but the Clippers made it clear: one first-round pick, not both, and either Gordon or Bledsoe, not both. They would have one opportunity to convince Sterling that this was worth doing; Sterling isn't interested in process. When they went to Sterling, it would be to set up a trade call, not to continue haggling. There couldn't be any more negotiating. If the Clippers had to start the season with Billups and Gordon in the backcourt, and Butler, Griffin and Kaman up front, with Williams and Jordan coming off the bench, they could live with that. And they could sell that to their fans.
