Source: Trade Talks Aren’t Over Between the Celtics and Clippers

im hoping its bledsoe jordan and 1 first

Clippers is getting nowhere if they are only offering us DeAndre Jordan and one first round pick.

Danny should ask for 2 First round picks + DJ + Caron Butler for Doc, KG and Terry (Would rather keep Lee, he is younger).

Agreed, but I think first Danny should ask for Bledsoe and Jordan. You don't want cp3 to leave? Then do it.. If they won't budge, go for the deal you proposed. Nothing less. If Simmons is accurate, let's use that leverage. They did reach out to us

Gary Washburn @GwashNBAGlobe now
NBA source said #clippers determined to get deal done now. We'll see if they sweeten the pot for #celtics

haha.  That supposed to be refresh?

Hey, in case anybody's interested in auto-refreshing Twitter, there's a good Chrome add-on for that:

Since both sides are fully aware of all the possible permutations of any deal, somebody blinked, or else what's the point in resuming discussions.  Bet this'll be done NLT tomorrow afternoon.  The sooner the better.

I'm creative.  I can come up with other ideas. 

Doc, KG, and the Celtics 2013 first-round pick for Jordan, the Clippers' 2013, 2015, and 2017 picks and a couple of second-round picks, plus the Celtics have the right to swap first-round picks in 2014.

Caron Butler, Willie Green, three firsts.  A second-round pick or two.  They can keep Deandre Jordan.

Jordan, Bledsoe, 2014 first, and future second, plus the teams swap first-round picks in 2013 and Celtics have the right to swap first-round picks in 2015.

I think since they come to us they will be the ones conceding. The question is will they concede to Bledsoe, taking on extra salary or another first round pick.

My order of preference
1. Bledsoe
2. Salary
3. Pick

[JSD]

I am so pumped up right now about this potential

[j804]

I want mini LeBron yeah he's overrated but a real trade chip

Agreed, him and Bradley in the back court for a few minutes a game would give opposing guards fits.

Here's my thinking.

CP3 has expressed interest in playing with KG and Dwight. An acceptable package for KG is DeAndre and Bledsoe, which we would take now. In addition, they'd probably end up with Pierce.

In order to get Dwight, on the other hand, you have to give up Griffin (inarguably the better player) instead of DeAndre, and even then the Lakers might not take it.

So, it's a choice of probably getting:
CP3-Green-Pierce-Griffin-Garnett
... and maybe getting
CP3-Green-Butler-Jordan-Howard

Which of those teams is better? Really?

[Monkhouse]

Just give us Bledsoe/Jordan and a first round pick, or take on a salary, and give us the first round pick.

Why be cheap? You clearly want CP3...

[JSD]

How many people here would root for the Clips in the playoffs next seson if Doc, KG and Paul ended up there?

[SHAQATTACK]

better be for Bledsoe and taking Lee /Jet dump and/or picks


Telling you'll CLIPPERs NEED this deal ....the whole ....CP3 is stayimg reguardless was a SMOKE screen .

I would bust Clippers balls over this .

Either meet my demand s  or forget it.
