    I'm thinking along the same lines. On top of that, Paul is a FA who will command top dollar. If they want to re-sign CP and another big name out there (Howard), they will have to move Jordan. :)

    Do we want DeAndre Jordan? Has he shown anything in the playoffs?

    Ok so I just looked up DeAndre Jordan's stats so far in the Playoffs.

    Game 1: 3 pts, 8 rbs, 0 blks in 30 mins.
    Game 2: 4 pts, 8 rbs, 4 blks in 24 mins.
    Game 3: 2 pts, 8 rbs, 3 blks in 25 mins.
    Game 4: 2 pts, 2 rbs, 1 blk in 17 mins.
    Game 5: 6 pts, 4 rbs, 2 blks in 31 mins.

    Yes, there is a big man tax but this is outrageous. Those numbers don't impress me at all. I know his D is the main draw but that hasn't jumped out at me enough to make up for the stats.

    The worse he plays the better chance we land him. I hope to hell he sucks next game and they lose.
    IMO he falls in the average center category. (Regardless of his stats) But that is about as good as we are going to get. I think Nene is the one center who is above average that we could land, but he does have a history of injuries and he will be 31 in September.

    So gooooo Memphis.

    I have no problem settling for an average Center if it comes to that. I certainly wouldn't pay 11.5 MIL a year for an average Center though.

    Yikes. Actually, I think his main draw is that he's Blake Griffin's Jack Haley.

    Yeah but the cheaper choices seem to be a bigger long shot then the expensive ones.

    So maybe we should keep the pick, and draft a center who will eventually be average. Then we will have two average centers.

    Bigger longshot of what? Coming?

    Zaza Pachulia (as an example) can easily put up those sad stats that DeAndre is doing in the playoffs and he would cost at most 7.5 MIL a year.

    True. It should be easy to pick up those 30 year old centers who had a season ending surgery on their Achilles.......

    It doesn't matter how he plays because his contract is still ridiculous. Who wants him at that contract, and after being an afterthought in the playoffs? The Clippers would be doing jumping jacks if they could pawn him off for some talent.

    JR Smith is such a knucklehead.

    Jason Terry after the game:

    "I'm a 14 year veteran. If you don't know who I am, you will by the end of this series"

    He's so far in JR Smith's head. Fun to watch a veteran completely ruin a knucklehead by playing the mental game.

    Haha.

    Beverley is such a punk. Jackson should have body-blocked him, though.
