    Golden State has used its amnesty waiver on Charlie Bell, team says.

    Warriors have amnestied Charlie Bell and rescinded qualifying offer to Reggie Williams, clearing room for DeAndre Jordan offer sheet.

    Another center out of reach for the Rockets.

    As I expected, amnesty used on Charlie Bell ($4.1M for one year) rather than Andris Biedrins ($27M over three years).

    GSW can now offer Jordan a four-year deal starting at about $10M in the first year. Offer sheet has yet to be extended, source says.

    DeAndre Jordan has signed a 4 year, $43 million offer sheet with Golden State, agent Greg Lawrence tells Y!

    The sheet's getting delivered to the Clippers now, and they'll have 3 days to match the Warriors offer for the restricted free agent center

    Did anyone mention DeAndre is as dumb as Slowmile Swift and will never be a star?

    If not, I just did.

    He looks good in highlight reels, but why get a center with no post skills except blocking shots? If it was an MLE offer, of course, but haven't we dealt with enough dumb players on this team to last most of us a lifetime?

    what statistic?

    Deandre Jordan was the 2nd top dunker in the nba last year, behind dwight howard and right above blake griffin, i'm sure it took more than 17 dunks to secure number two over blake griffin.

    How about this for stats? DeAndre Jordan attempted 100% of his shot from the pain the whole of last season

    Unless you mean with a knife you would have regretted with a capital REGRETTED having DeAJ if you watched him with his lead hands and head.

    Wait, is the OP seriously asking why the Rockets went after Pau Gasol instead of Deandre Jordan?
