73% of ESPN Boston are Ok with possible trade

[kg is king]

Not particularly ok with deal at all.

If those are the best assets we can get, we're better off letting our guys expire and bring cap space.

Don't panic Danny.  Stay the course.  Move Bass, Terry, Lee for expiring contracts.

Jordan won't bring back much in assets, and Bledsoe is just not enough on his own.  Picks in the late 20's are bad news.  I'd rather have an early 2nd round pick unless I was targeting a specific player.

A good player in his early 20s plus another that has upside and first round picks are more than excellent compensation for a couple of old players who can give you 2 years of service max. This deal is already ridiculously lopsided in our favor, I don't know if it can any lop sided than that without being laughed at (if it isn't already being laughed at).

I'm sorry I'm confused. You would rather have an early second round pick than a late first round pick? Whats the logic behind that? That makes no sense whatsoever on any level.

And so what if Bledsoe and Jordan don't bring much back? If they bring us a few future first between the two of them and expiring deals we are better off than not doing it.

You can acquire a Deandre Jordan type of player any day of the week. You can acquire a late 1st any day of the week. No need to give up Garnett, even a 37 yo Garnett, for that.

If the Clippers finish with the 5th best record (apprx), a pick somewhere in the top 5 of the 2nd round is better.  You don't have to guarantee the money, to a player who has just as much chance of making it in the league.

The only exception is if you are targeting a specific player you think won't be around by then.  The Clips don't have such picks to give us (I think), so if we did do a deal I'd take as many 1st as we could get from them.  I'd just rather pass on the whole deal with LA.  I don't like it much.

To me, it's a mistake.

TP. This trade as Boston has proposed it is a ghastly PItino-esque move that will consign us to the depths of the NBA for years to come.

Hopefully, the Clippers will save us from ourselves here.

If Rivers walks, then Garnett retires and we benefit immediately. No earthly reason whatsoever to accept an overpaid center and another maybe here.

On a rebuilding squad those late first round picks are going to be making the team you so don't have to worry about not guaranteeing their contracts and they'll be 2-3 years apart so they don't bog down the roster. On top of that if this trade goes down and KG gets injured the Clippers' pick could move into the teens.

Agreed.

That Clippers team looks to be one Paul injury away from lottery land.
