Clippers, they don't see Eric as a bench rider, they see him as their future point guard, they're not gonna shelf his development for a walking retiree in Billups. He dropped 13 points last night of 5-9 shooting, with 4 assists & 4 rebounds in 17 mins of play, and that's from a guy whose biggest strength is defense.
He is delivering for them on both ends of the court, and even if you ignore the fact the Clips organization loves this kid, for the first time ever, he is not only getting minutes, but actually getting minutes with the first unit alongside Chris Paul.

Billups' progression has gone a lot better than most people think...he's not a "walking retiree" as you've suggested...He's expected back sometime this month, and he's expected to start at SG.....until then, Crawford and Bledsoe will see a bump in minutes, but after that I don't see Bledsoe getting over 20 minutes per game...
Also, you stated that Bledsoe isn't as good as Harden...Well the Clippers aren't as good as the Thunder either....I can definitely see Bledsoe leaving to a place where a. he will probably receive more money &/or b. he will be the unquestioned starting point guard...
