DeAndre Jordan, do you see DM going after him this season???

i would love to get deandre but we got so many PF's we needa clear the roster.

 

Clips won't demand much. Very athletic big that does what most teams are in dire need of (including ours). Because they are the Clips, they will give him away for a box of Cracker Jacks. Morey should have this done by lunch today. If CD were still in the mix, he would have him signed to a 6 year extension by dinner tonight based off of that one game. Reminds me of another former Rocket

 

I don't really see the Clippers being unhappy with DeAndre Jordan and trying to dump him.

Kaman is injury prone, so they would have Ike Diogu be a starter if DJ was gone.

Diogu is not even a starting caliber C on a lottery team.

 

His a center

 

Jordan basically plays the same style as JeVale McGee. He is very athletic, his a shot blocker and dunks coming from left and right. Right now the Rockets need a shot blocker and a person to defend the paint. So I see Jordan as a perfect fit to the Rocket roster. And by the way he is a center...so our center problem may be gone.

 

He wouldn't be a bad project at the right price (around a 3yr/$5mil) . He's young and has the tools to play well and contribute. I saw him playing in AggieLand and didnt really tear up the opposition, but again, he was only 18 at the time.

I think with our organization, he would definitely benefit...simply by working with Carroll Dawson. Jordan Hill has great benefited by being able to work with CD.

Add Hakeem to list of tutors to add to their skill set, and we can have a very nice front line in the future with DeAndre, Hill, and Scola.

 

Leebigez has been touting the acquisition of Jordan for quite some time now.

 

if they can use Cookie Monster on actual rotation, then we can convince them that Jefferies is useful for them too.. :grin:

 

People like to label him a project player but I don't think he's going to change much. He's not the kind of guy busting his hump to improve his game; he's very content where he's at right now.

He's a Houston kid but I don't want him playing here.

 

Deandre Jordan has untapped potential that will develop with experience. He is only 22 and expendable to the Clippers at this point, so I hope DM would seriously consider stealing him away.

His mobility around the basket is amazing. He can rise up and attack the basket at will while providing shot-blocking capabilities on the defensive end.

I would propose trading Jeffries and Budinger for Deandre Jordan.

 

I thought he was unrestricted....dang it...he is restricted?

Lousy footwork, lousy hands; athletic, long. He's a Clip, and will remain so. Kaman should be the target.

 

Kaman is $12 million a year....and injury prone......I don't think the Rox need another center like Kaman....but they do need a true shot blocking big like Jordan.

And he is from Houston......are you guys sure he is restricted? Hoopshype has him just coming off the books.....

Jordan is a pretty nice player, I like him. He can finish and block shots which is exactly what we need.

 

reminds me of stromile swift.

I would be wary because he is playing for vinnie del negro, who basically has no system, the players are basically just making things up as they go along most of the time.

Whther he can produce this under an actual system is debatable, he didn't do too well under dunleavy who actually does have a system.

 

3 year player = RFA

 

But we want him to play defense, rebound and protect the rim.....and occassionally dunk it....

I think he can handle that.

And if he is restricted, you would expect DM to go after him NOW !

No thanks, we need a defensive Center not one that can only dunk.

 

As I said, he doesn't seem to have high Bball IQ to me, I don't know if he is capable of executing a discplined defensive game plan. Definitely a project, no way he is capable of being a starting C on a playoff team right now, and no way to know if he ever will be.

Could be Stromile Swift, or best case is tyson chandler.
