Maybe more lobs than Kentucky...


Just in case you hadn't heard, Chris Paul has finally been traded from New Orleans, and will get to live it up with L.C. and The Kardashians in LA... just not for the Lakers.
The Clippers traded half their team away and acquired CP3 to pair him up with Blake Griffin's nightly slam dunk contest. Some, are even a bit slighted by the blockbuster, as they felt that Eric Gordon had tremendous upside, and he is younger than Chris Paul, Stephen A. Smith being one of those in that camp. However, CP3 is one of the best in the game today, it's hard to resist that carrot when it's dangled in front of you.
So, where will this leave Eric Bledsoe? He is now going to be probably the 3rd PG option behind CP3 and the newly acquired Chauncey Billups from a few weeks ago. They could move 'Algebra 3' to a 2, but there are those that feel Bledsoe has too much to offer at PG, and would be a waste at a 2. Time will tell how this will affect Bledsoe, and his time on the floor, but I look for the Clippers to have maybe one more trade in their bag before the Christmas tip-off, or maybe even shortly after.
