    Age (20-21-22-23)
    Minutes (8-19-24-26)
    PER (12-18-21-26)

    Could he get better again next year? Could he be a 30 PER player? :eek:

    Capela plays less minutes but still their per 100 possessions are nearly identical - CC is 3.0 TO per 100, Deandre is 2.9 TO per 100. It doesn't take a genius to realize 0.1 TO per 100 possessions is not worth acquiring a player who costs millions more.

    I didn’t even think about DJ getting bought out, that’s actually a really good thought. 1yr 20+ mill yea I can see the CLIPS doing it...

    Don't get defensive with me when you can't even state your point coherently. I still can't see where you're going with this in a Clint v Jordan comparison. DJ is taking less shots cause Paul ain't there, simple as that.

    Deandre Jordan is better in my opinion right now and in playoffs but Capela is just right there if not better in many aspects but capela has so much more upside then Deandre and way younger

    Pretty sure alot of players wants to play here since the arrival of cp3 but it doesn't mean they'll play here, so I don't see this happening

    Well, he's taking one shot less per game and 3 less FTA per game, so yes, it is as simple as Paul not being there as a distributor.

    I've watched DJ for years as a CP3 fanboy. He is not better than Clint right now.

    At best I can see a slight argument for him being marginally better but Clint is on a much cheaper contract and has significant upside while DJ has capped out as a player.

    What? His FTA are way up the years CP3 is a Clipper. If you can't see the correlation, I pity you.

    what we need is one more 3 point sniper like cj miles and maybe a wing who can play defense, if we could fill these two needs, we can knock anyone out in the playoff!

    apparently context doesnt matter. you dont realize hack a jordan increases his ft averages. thats on DJ sucking at line and not on cp3. The only correlation cp3 has on that is he makes the clippers a winning team. if youre winning more often than not teams will exploit that weakness. welp the clippers are one of the worse teams in the league this year so what a surprise nobody is hacking him to take adv bc 1. the clippers arent winning 2. hes not a threat offensively anyway.

    Please spare me your pity. you continue to try and make false claims that have little validity. you go from CC gets stripped all the time, to DJ's orebs, now his shots and fta's. just all over the place.what's next

    I wouldn't be all over the place if you could deliver your point without me scratching my head.

    probably need to look yourself in the mirror first. as someone stated a few posts ago it doesn't take a genius
