Doc Rivers to LA Clippers?

**Strikeout King** · 06-15-2013, 11:45 PM

Read on ESPN that the Clippers are talking to the Lakers about a sign-n-trade for Dwight Howard....Clippers would send Lakers Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe.....

No way would I ever consider that trade...

The Clippers, sources said, are willing to surrender cash and multiple draft picks to secure Rivers' services and offer young center DeAndre Jordan as the primary piece in a deal in exchange for Garnett.

But sources said Saturday the Clippers, at present, are refusing to include the highly coveted Bledsoe with Jordan in the same trade in hopes of keeping Bledsoe for a separate transaction.

Sources say the Clippers want to keep open the option that they could package Bledsoe with Griffin in a sign-and-trade offer for Howard after the Lakers' center becomes a free agent on July 1. ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reported Friday that Howard and Clippers star Chris Paul have been in consistent contact in recent weeks in hopes of landing on the same team via free agency.
