    Oh but but but the Yao Ming fans want him back for the MLE. If Jordan is signed with the MLE, there is going to be hell in this forum. It will be worse than T-Mac.

    I was thinking, someone said that DJ would get a contract similar to what Perkins got. Also that the Clippers were looking for a SF. I'm interested to see how much Morey will offer him. Many people say no more than the MLE. Which got me to thinking what about a sign and trade to get DJ offering Thabeet and T-Will. I'd love to see him in a Rockets jersey.

    Does NY even have money to spend? I love how the article tries to act like NY is the only realistic destination

    To be honest I think we will not get him bc he's not going to be affordable... and he doesn't want to play here bc we chose Joey Freaking Dorsey over him.

    DAJ is a restricted free agent. The Clippers will match anything we offer, and we don't have a lot of cap space with which to work anyway compared to what other teams have to offer. It's not impossible, but I think acquiring Kyrylo Fensenko is a more likely scenario.

    Should have drafted him - Dorsey was probably one of our big mistakes.

    The problem with Jordan, other than the fact that we don't have the cap space to sign him to an offer-sheet, is that he's still got glaring holes in his game, on both ends. Yes he's long, very athletic, a natural shot-blocker, and a natural rebounder. He's got all that, but he's not all that great of a defender, and of course, his offensive game is still very raw. He's still a big gamble. Yes the potential is there, and he's certainly improving, but his steals are low, he's often out of position, and he doesn't body up on his man the way a good defensive center does. Right now, he's a more athletic Kelvin Cato, with a much higher ceiling and better attitude. He could pay off, but he's got a long way to go.

    Offense is half of the game, and DJ is HORRIBLE... not only at shooting, scoring, but pace, spreading the floor and passing. It only takes one player not playing within the system to destroy it.
