Lakers to meet with Deandre Jordan

[GimmeThat]

stat sheet on the Lakers

-20 on paint floaters

[TOUCH MY BODY]

He's overrated without having cp3 feeding him easy lobs does this guy have much else of an offensive game.. Also think he is overrated on D too.. While his stats are nice his team never ends up being a good defensive team over the course of a season

No worries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHoGtXvzaBA

Him and Paul have hung out, yet, are clashing? Okay

If Jordan does leave, it'll be to Dallas, not across the hall. Realistically, he'll end up signing a 2 year deal with an option and test again next year.

Too bad S&T's are non-existent now

Your Clippers beat writer says the Chris Paul/DeAndre Jordan beef is real...

The season ended with Rivers denying reports Jordan and Chris Paul had a beef with each other.

But other NBA officials not authorized to speak publicly on the matter said there indeed is a rift between Jordan and Paul.

They're basically getting Dwight on the Lakers without the post game.

Deandre is a great player on both defense and offense, but Doc utilized him perfectly in the sense they never ran plays for him. I hope the Lakers or anyone else are not expecting more than that just because he's the best PnR finisher in the league.

Dwight has a post game?

FUUU ...

Not gonna lie, DJ/Randle/Kobe/Clarkson/Russell looks like a VERY nice core on paper. They'd be a playoff team without question.

no they wouldn't..lol

[thefatmiral]

I like it. its sad seeing the Lakers in this pathetic role. theres a chance they become competitive if they all blend and get along.

[LoneyROY7]

DJ without Paul feeding him and Blake taking away all the inside attention?



Good luck, bruh.

[Genaro]

I would be very happy if he signs with the Lakers. I think he's more valuable than Marc because of age (Lakers aren't in win now mode) and LMA (because we have Randle already and would've to start some bum at C)
But except if his problems with the Clippers are very big, I don't see why would he leave a playoff team for a rebuilding team.

DJ could be the defensive anchor we need...if he'd sign for 18-19 mill and we get rid of Nick, that would give us another 8 mill to sign a 3 & D guy at the small forward. Someone like Danny Green or Kris Middleton would be ideal

Russ/Kobe/Green/Randle/DJ

Not bad that team makes noise if they can keep healthy.

Generally, this is the type of player you trade for. Once you spend all this money in free agency, you are tied down and can't really make any trades. Players that are traded, generally are more so in the middle, or later in their deal, not necessarily due to bad fit, but the other teams improvement, which can go back to what I wrote in another thread about the evolution of GM. When you go from 23 teams to 30 teams, the make up of a championship team still remains the same, but a new term calls window appears, since now a small trade and sign here and there makes you a 1st rounder to conference finalist.

I'm waiting, and can't say excited but intrigued about who, and how can a team bring back a 1st pick after making it to the championship serie

Notice how the Lakers hadn't done any trades in the past few years. Yes, there is the notorious Jeremy Lin deal, which might have something to do with houston wanting him out of town more than anything else.

I'd rather him stay on the Clippers. I don't see him being as successful elsewhere, plus the last thing I want to see is a Lakers game going an hour over because of hacking.

...not that we'd be in a winning position where hacking would be required, though.

[CarlosBoozer]

I don't understand how people are saying he's defense is overrated, if you watched the Spurs and clippers series, dude was literally swatting everything and got the Spurs shook for even thinking of driving when he was there. He's man to man is not that good, but he's an amazing rebounder/putback dunker/lob catcher and shot blocker.

[imnew09]

I wouldnt mind only if he can shoot his ft. Im tired of watching the hacking game of basketball

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

no they wouldn't..lol

Tell me why they wouldn't.

Good luck, bruh.

Why so butthurt? He hasn't even left your team yet.
