The DeAndre Jordan love is freaky on this board. Even more so than the Ramon Sessions love before. I remember listening to a Simmons podcast where he interviewed a Clippers announcer. The announcer said that Blake Griffin somehow really rubbed off on Jordan and made Jordan started to practice and wanting to improve himself. But that Jordan is still a big goofball who doesn't particularly eat-sleep basketball. This guy is the perfect candidate for slippage after getting a fat contract. It may not happen, and he does have upside. But I'd be incredibly leery of giving him a big, long-term contract and have him turn out to the the next Stro Swift.
Priority: Gasol for our HOLE at 5 and Green for our hole at 3. Backup: Dalembert and Chandler. Gasol and Green are both good 2 way players. They would fix all our problems and gives us room to grow for the future as well. They would be awesome addistion to our young core of Lowry, Lee and Patterson. If all else fails. Dalembert and Chandler are proven players. Chandler has the tools to be effective on defense as well. While Dalmbert has been having some 15-20 point games lately.
