I saw that and that is a whole bunch of yikes.

Sign JJ. Clearly the guy misses the Pels. :D
Bring J Reddik back.
The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Patrick Beverley, Rajon Rondo and Daniel Oturu to the Memphis Grizzlies for guard Eric Bledsoe, sources tell ESPN.

i am surprised Bledsoe has that much value
Since Bledsoe is alone, this a separate trade from us?
Wait, so this is apart of our deal?
think I would have preferred this deal for the Pels over the Memphis one. even if you keep none of those players
Would the Pels have interest in Rondo or Beverly?
Clippers probably wanted to wait to make sure Kawhi re-signed before they did this. They save like $30m in luxury tax with Kawhi probably out all this year.
Hopefully Griffin has something up his sleeve with the TPE. Otherwise, it could look bad that he could have gotten Rondo and Beverly for Bledsoe instead of giving up a 1st rounder to Memphis to take him. Rondo could have been our veteran presence in the locker room and we would not have had to spend $15 million on a 3 year deal for Temple. Beverly could have been a valuable PG who could instill a defensive mindset in our players and can hit the 3. So, it is really a matter of what Griffin does with the TPE the trade created to see if he made the right call.
And still got the player we wanted at 10. Who cares about Pat Beverly and Rondo? Didn't we learn our lesson with Bledsoe? Those guys wouldnt give a crap if they came to Nola. You guys really wanted to take on an additional 10 million in order to get off Bledsoe?
