    This 'chasing Lebron' strategy damaged us once, hate to see it happen again. Its such a long shot it doesnt make sense to not try to be the best you can be right now.
    Not that I think that we can get Jordan without losing Capela, but just the idea of waiting for Lebron annoys me.

    Agreed. We'll strike out again...and will be forced to play catch up with the next super team that forms.

    We are much better equipped to handle waiting on LBJ this time around.

    no he wouldn't. I will take Capela over him any day of the week. Problem is, you keep thinking Jordan would play the same amount of minutes he plays at the Clippers......he wouldn't

    Capela's PER 36 stats blow Jordan's off the park

    because he was never that good defensively, highly over rated

    From what I heard up here today, Mark Cuban and the MFFLs are also hypervenilating over the "prospect" of getting Jordan. Tis the season...

    I'm still waiting for him to explain how/what/why/when it was such a loss that we failed to re-sign Donatas Motiejunas.

    I wish I could like this twice. You took the words right out of my mouth.

    I'm sure he averages more points per 36, but where else is he clearly superior?

    I can't tell if you're trolling, if you genuinely hate DJ, or if you just have no idea what you're talking about... maybe a combination of all three.

    He claims he has watched DJ a lot, but given his posts about him, I am highly skeptical.

    go look at how bad the Clippers teams were defensively over the years when Jordan was on the court without Chris Paul....

    So you mean to tell me that DJ's DRPM, or LAC's DEF RTG, was worse when CP, 7x 1st team All-Defense, was off the floor and Jamal Crawford, in all likelihood, was on it in his place? Who would have ever thought that to be the case?

    Paul made Jordan look better than he was. Jordan isn't that good of a defender
