Crawford on the Clippers can either be really scary or LOL depending on how much he chucks or fills that hole Billups left.

Clippers Unlikely To Move Bledsoe For Rental (http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/03/clippers-unlikely-to-move-bledsoe-for-rental.html)

March 12 at 4:52pm CST By Luke Adams
In the weeks leading up to March 15th, Eric Bledsoe (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bledser01.html)'s name has surfaced in trade rumors involving the Blazers (http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/03/jamal-crawford-rumors-monday.html)' Jamal Crawford (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/crawfja01.html) and the Celtics (http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/03/broussard-on-rockets-knicks-and-celtics.html)' Ray Allen (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/allenra02.html), among others. However, the Clippers aren't motivated to trade the young guard unless they're blown away by a proposal, says Eric Pincus of HoopsWorld (http://www.hoopsworld.com/nba-pm-clippers-reluctant-to-deal-bledsoe). According to HoopsWorld's report, the Clippers are hesitant to move Bledsoe for a player who they'd just be renting for the rest of the season.
In Bledsoe, the Clippers have a young, inexpensive player at a position of depth. Chris Paul (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/paulch01.html) and Mo Williams (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/willima01.html) are ahead of Bledsoe on the team's depth chart, so it makes sense that L.A. would consider moving its 2010 first-rounder to upgrade at two guard. However, the 22-year-old is the only guard the Clippers have under contract long-term -- Paul's and Williams' contracts are set to expire after next season, and their futures are unknown. Bledsoe doesn't figure to be eligible for even restricted free agency until the summer of 2014.
As for the Clippers' potential two-guard targets, Allen will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, while Crawford figures to decline his player option for next season, making him an unrestricted free agent as well.
