LA Clippers

Could a Bledsoe return to Los Angeles be in the cards? The Clippers are the team that originally drafted Bledsoe out of Kentucky back in 2010 (by way of a trade with OKC), and L.A. big man DeAndre Jordan has already expressed his desire to see Bledsoe return to the City of Angels:

The Clippers could use an upgrade at point guard after losing Chris Paul to Houston in the offseason, and adding Bledsoe would make Blake Griffin and company look much more like a playoff team.

The Clippers, however, don’t have a ton of young talent to offer Phoenix. The best deal they may be able to come up with is Patrick Beverly, Wesley Johnson, Sam Dekker, and a first-round pick. That package isn’t nearly as enticing as one built around Mudiay or Maker,  so one has to consider Bledsoe’s odds of returning to the Clippers to be rather long.
