    I would guess he is looking for a big payday the chance to win is secondary at this point.

    MCW/Vasquez/Bayless/Ennis
    Middleton/Dudley/Mayo/ Vaughn
    Giannis/Butler/Ingles
    Jabari/Ilyasova
    DeAndre/Plumlee/Pachulia

    He'd be a fool not to consider them, that roster is extremely promising in the East and he could achieve more than with the Clippers flawed roster in the West.

    That starting 5 is fantastic.

    Do-it-all PG in MCW
    Guy who can create his own shot in Middleton
    Durant-size with handles in Giannis
    'Rookie' trying to get back into things with Jabari
    Defensive stalwart in Jordan.

    Giannis and DJ = athleticism is sky high.

    he is going to get maxed from everyone who is going after him. He doesnt have to use the bucks capspace as negotiating tactic like buttler and wade tried to do.

    Well lol ( actually ily and buttler are out of the team.and so will very soon bayless or mayo and possibly plumplee. But we got henson). Come on Yung-T its milwaukee. Cold small market and young team with no stars. Who will leave la and go sign there? Hey im a big fan and i dont even think it as a remote possibillity. The pitch right now is : a surefire po spot and being an all star starter. Because if he comes in the east you can bet he will be.
    what will most likely happen is that dj will stay where he is and chandler will come to the bucks. The mavs could very well be left without a center.:grin: chandler is a shwartz client and shwartz controls the bucks atm. Plus hes friends with kidd.

    Out of all the FA this summer, I think he is actually the one has the highest chance to go to the Mavs, won't even surprise to see a sign and trade two way with the Mavs and LAC with Tyson going to LA.

    If I were Jordan, I'd strongly consider the Bucks. Best potential team, IMO. That's a legit challenger to the Cavs in a year or two.

    Don't think MCW is the answer though....

    One factor to consider is that, based from what I have heard, Chris Paul and Jordan dont exactly get along too well.

    Everyone has heard that, but at the end of the day, CP3 and Doc's careers are in DeAndre's hands. They will make sure he feels wanted, and there's no way Doc doesn't give him a 5 year max offer.

    Henson is a center. The pf experiment failed. Im pleasantly surprised of the good impression of the bucks team in this thread but really..theres no chance they are able to attract a star or even a "star" like dj. Milwaukee is one of the coldest nba cities and one of the smallest markets. At least except for kareem back in the 70s we dont lose our own "star" players to free agency ( the ones we want to retain. No jennings). So at least theres that.

    Of course Clippers will give him the Max. So will other teams.

    But if there is friction between him and Paul, a little sweet talk isnt exactly going to erase everything. He would be stupid to not understand that after he signs that contract, Paul is going to go back to being a jerk.

    But then again, like I said, Jordan isnt exactly smart.

    True. Without cp3 dj wouldnt be considered as a 20 mil max agent. But players have big egos. All of them. I doubt he cares anyway as long as he gets paid.

    What the uncle means is that I'm a year or two the new cap will kick in, from the cap of 60M it can go as high as 90-120M. This means people who signs max contract now will gimping themselves, ideally you only want a short contract and then sign a new deal once the cap increases since the max will also increase.

    I really hope he goes to the East, specifically the Milwaukee Bucks.

    That team would be REALLY good, and the fan base deserves it. They have built their team the right way and have had to suffer through the Bogut/Redd..Jennings/Ellis years.
