    Wonder what Kobe's pitch to DeAndre is like?

    "Look DJ, you will get your share on the offensive end by getting all my rebounds and putbacks. I am still taking 35 shots a game so you will average around 25 rebounds. Tempting, I know. I think it's a match made in heaven. Oh also, I get to teach you how to win. We are going to hit the gym every morning at 3 AM and stay there until you make 10 free throws in a row. Sounds good? Sign."

    this :

    "Concepcion: The best pitch the Lakers have to offer top free agents is the secret MRI pictures that reveal that Kobe will barely play next season. Like, I bet they’re so secret that Kobe doesn’t even know about them."

    DJ has a 50/50 shot of staying now. Clippers getting nervous.

    Do we want him to go to Dallas? The Mavs stay in the same tier, as DJ isn't exactly fit to be the focal point on offense and DJ leaving would effectively kill the Clippers' title hopes.

    No its not, Dwight was hurt half the season. Who won in the playoffs? Dwight was dominate again in the playoffs. Rockets never lose because of Dwight when it comes to playoffs, ridiculous use of stats.

    The only valid argument against Dwight would be his knee.

    Yeah he's a Houston boy all the way. I remember ppl hyping him up in 8th grade like he was the next Shaq.

    Gerald Green has Houston Skyline on his forearm.

    Ok back to topic. Jordan should stay in LA if he wants to look good. Dallas might make him work harder.

    He has a better chance of winning with the Clippers than in Dallas. For some reason I want him to go to the Lakers, including Lamarcus Aldridge just because I love the Lakers as the NBA villains and I miss that.

    I think Deandre could be using this as leverage and just going back to the Clippers

    What leverage would he be creating? Didn't the Clippers already offer the max?
