DeAndre Jordan is about to show the world he's on Joakim Noah's level...

not surprised at all hes doing this under rivers

 

**** OFF

 

LOLwut? If you think De Andre Jordan is a better deal than Dwight, than Omer Asik at 8M is the best deal in the entire NBA. Is De Andre Jordan 27% better than Omer? No? Than obv Asik is the best in the league.

You see, the problem here is Dwight is mostly left to his own devices, our pgs are scorers like Lin/Bev, and our best playmaker is actually an SG as well. OTH, DJ is playing with one of the best pgs in the new era of the NBA, CP3's playmaking abilities can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of the NBA. This masks DJ's ineptitude on offense, kinda' like when the Big 3 masked Rondo's horrible J. Bacause CP3 makes offense easy for him, DJ can stay ont he floor longer because his team isn't playing 4 on 5 on offense, and so he can do what he does best which is defend, reb etc. If CP3 goes down then DJ reverts to being an 11M overpaid offensive liability. On the flip side, if DH had been the one playing with CP3 he'd probably record 20-20's a night like he did in Orlando.

 

You are judging deandre by his offense and, like I said earlier, rivers told deandre that they will not be running any plays to him all year. Any point he gets is if he's open for an alley pop dunk or via an offensive rebound put back. Deandre should be judged by his defense because that is what he was asked to do for the clippers. Leading the league in rebounds and third in blocks should not be overlooked and I really don't see how cp3 helps deandre get boards or blocks. Like I said before, the rockets would also be better off if they tell Dwight that they won't run any plays to him and he should focus on defense. Harden, parsons, and jones should be option 1,2,and 3 for rockets on offense.

 

If Omer asik was a good deal, then someone would have traded for him. But instead, all Morey could get was a second round pick for him. And yes, deandre is more than 27% better than asik.

 

Deandre Jordan potential and what he is getting paid for is mainly on his defense and rebounding so not sure why folks continue bringing up CP3. Whatever he adds offensively is just a plus that game.

With that said he proved me wrong this year but it helps that he isn't getting benched in the 4th quarter this year. So long Del Negro

 

You don't understand the CBA.

Omer at 8mil a year is great. Omer on 1 year at $15mil out of pocket isn't, hence why he wasn't traded. That plus the demand for omer was 2 first rounders.

 

Who was offering two first rounders? Was that one of those Morey pipe dreams? What don't I understand about the cba? I'm simply saying the rockets were trying to move him and couldn't.

 

I don't know if Deandre Jordan is the defensive player of the year, but I think he's the best defensive player right now. He is so much better than he was in the beginning of the year. He's going to lead the league in rebounding and now Doc Rivers defensive scheme of chasing players off the three point line is really working because the team runs them into a Deandre Jordan block. The center position is essentially dead in the modern NBA, but I really think DeAndre is a top 3 center right now along with Joakim Noah and Anthony Davis.

 

DJ is most definitely not the best defensive player in the league right now. Those players are rarely measured by individual stats. They are measured by how much the opposition has to change their offense to account for them. At the moment, DJ's defense doesn't scare anyone. Now his rebounding has been phenomenal and overall he's a huge asset, but only Clipper homers and people who don't watch the games would put him as a DPOY candidate.

 

So, when did Dwight, Demarcus, and Jefferson die?

 

Asks contract results in an out of pocket cost of 15M, which is why the offers were so low.Its not because Asik himself is only one 2ndrounder, rather the 8M extra lowered his value.

And lol at De Andre better than Ask,you realize Asik had more rebs last year as a starter? And he doesn't have cp3 feeding him dunks all day?

 

I don't think he put an entire season together as the top defensive player, but if you watch the last 10 games, he has been a force on the defense. I really think he's turned the corner in confidence and defensive intelligence in the last month. I used to complain that Deandre was overpaid, now I'm worried the Clippers won't be able to afford him when his contract is up. Like I said before, Doc Rivers really changed his life.

 

Dwight died after he had back surgery two years ago. Look at his numbers the last two years...they are down. Of course, maybe he was always overrated because he used to play in Orlando. Demarcus and Jefferson are not very good on defense. You forgot to mention Hibbert. Here's how I rank the centers in the NBA. Of course centers are rather extinct in their usefulness in the modern NBA.

1. Anthony Davis
2. Joakim Noah
3. Deandre Jordan
4. Marc Gasol
5. Dwight Howard
6. Roy Hibbert
7. Andre Drummond

 

There are definitely not 7 Centers better than Demarcus Cousins.

 

You're having Davis, who plays most of his minutes at PF, as best center in the NBA? What?

 

Gerald Green is most improved.

 

Don't hurt yourself patting yourself on your back, lol.
