I understand that but now you have two players getting big money rather than one because Lopez to me is a steal with his contract. What do you all think Bledsoe's contract will be???

Jordan's contract will be up by the time you have to pay up for Bledsoe.

Draft oladipo. Trade gordon to clippers and get their first round pick. He is a cancer to their team and their pick gives us marcus smart. Our pick then gives us jabari parker. We flip bledsoe for pek = seks on the pelican point.

If we want to make some noise over the next two seasons, I really think we are going to need EG to be healthy (which he never really has been) and productive (which he wasn't last year, but certainly was in the past). EG/Lopez for Bledsoe/Butler/Jordan , which works financially in the event that the Clippers extend CP3, makes us better than we were last season when EG missed a bunch of time, but I think it lowers our ceiling as EG is still the best player in that group. I think Benson is going to be antsy for us to make some noise and take a step up into the playoffs. 75+ games of a fairly efficient, 20ppg scoring EG gives us the best shot. Plus the trade leaves us with a pretty significant hole at SG, which is a tougher position to fill than PG. Keeping EG could set us back 2 years, but so could Bledsoe not adjusting to full time starter.
