re: Eric Bledsoe's Trade Value

As far as Gyno's post, I'm not impressed. IF (big IF) his numbers simply extrapolate to more minutes, he becomes mediocre at a lot of categories and pretty damn good at defense and rebounding, though 4.5 rebounds isn't making a difference. Probably a hustle stat that will decrease with added workload.
I think we'd be wasting a bunch of value to upgrade from average to more distinctly average.

Clippers traded their best assets to replace him less than a year ago...

The one hypothetical trade was giving up just Lopez to get Bledsoe, + having to take back Butler. He's overpaid ($8m), but only for one year, plus he's not a bad player (good article here on his value). So Lopez + take on an added $5m in cap space, but we'd still have Vasquez as a trade piece. That would give us something like $10m in cap space, possibly Vasquez, and the draft pick to do what we can to get a C that can play 20-25 minutes per game and a starting SF (or roll with Butler there for a year).

He excels on the defensive end in an era when none of these PGs can actually stop each other. So really whats the point? He's locks up the DJ Augustin's of the world and gets chewed up by the better PGs in the league, just like everybody else does.
I think we need to upgrade our defense at the center position as much or more than Vasquez.
Take Memphis as an example. Mike Conley isn't exactly Gary Payton defensively but they get away with it fine because Gasol cleans up their mistakes.
I say we need to go open up the checkbook for Pekovic. I read an article on how good he is guarding the pick and roll, which is exactly what we need.
