doesnt make a lot of sense to me unless they have a deal in place to ship nurk out.
unless they are planning to move nurk to pf.....? didnt that fail miserably in denver?
 
ugh. Neil needs to stop with this. We get it, you like that Clipper squad you put together, but Jordan is old, on the decline, and brings skills that our team does not need.

FWIW, a Nurk + ET for Jordan deal works. And that I'd do just to rid myself of the misery that is Evan Turner. But outside of something like that, I have 0 interest in Deandre.

In other words, we offered them Evan Turner and Jake Layman for Jordan.

Hey, it never hurts to ask.

Or, maybe it was Meyers and Moe.

Seems fair. Meyers and DeAndre are both 7-foot centers with PER = 20.0. Plus, Meyers is younger and costs half as much.

seriously, why would you do this... DeAndre Jordan is 29 yo, provides defense (so does Nurk) and rebounding (hes better rebounder than Nurk), but has no offensive game whatsoever... Nurk is a good fit here, is 23 yo with a lot of upside

I just dont get it...

Maybe Neil has some other trades to follow.

Who said anyone was serious? He might have just tossed out an offer to rid the team of some of their bad contracts.

Nurk only plays 27 MPG. Who would you rather have playing center for the other 21 minutes, Ed Davis or DeAndre Jordan?

Not saying any of this is true, but when a player is available, it's the GM's job to explore all the possible options.

so Nurk is a RFA this summer and DeAndre has 1 year player option, but hes likely to opt out

I dont get anything of this

yeah, paying both Nurk and DeAndre with Collins here, thats not happening

maybe he really wants to shake this team with trading Nurk and CJ Id guess

The tweet doesn't mention either Nurk or C.J.

I suspect if the offer included either, the tweet would not have said "the Clippers have yet to receive a proposal from Cleveland, Milwaukee, Portland or anyone else that they’ve found seriously tempting". If either Nurk or C.J. had been offered, I'm sure LAC would have found such an offer seriously tempting. In fact, if Nurk, or C.J., had been offered, the trade probably would be done by now.

Not saying it would, but also not saying it couldn't.

Collins is a PF. Nurk plays 27 MPG. That leaves 21 MPG for a back up center. Ed Davis currently gets 18.3 of those 21 MPG at back up center.

Which is why I asked, who would you rather play center when Nurk is on the bench, DeAndre Jordan or Ed Davis?

I love Ed and I doubt is any deal would ever happen, but it's the GM's job to do his due diligence and explore all options.

Why would Jordan opt out of the last year of his contract that pays him over $24 million. You already mentioned he's 29 and declining. He'll never get close to $24 million a year ever again. He'd be a fool to leave that money on the table.

if deal does not include Nurk or CJ, how would potential deal look like

DeAndre is leaving, theyre trying to move Griffin, are they going into rebuild process... if yes, what would they take from us: Vonleh, Ed Davis, Collins, Swanigan, Harkless, some bad contract like ET or Meyers

I have no idea. The tweet said LAC did not consider any of the offers "seriously tempting". If the offer had included Nurk or C.J. don't you think the Clippers would have considered it "seriously tempting"?

We probably offered them something like Meyers and Moe and maybe 2nd round pick. They said no thanks. End of rumor.

Id take DeAndre ofc, but Id like us to improve our team in a different way

Sorry, I thought you said "playing". You said "paying".

Jordan's contract will be long since expired by the time Collins gets paid.

And, of course, with both teams over the cap, we have to send out comparable salary (Meyers and Moe, or Turner and Layman, etc.) to make the trade work (financially).

Again, I'm not saying any of these were offered, but there are plenty of ways to make the salaries work.

He'd be a good backup for Nurk. You can't play Jordan in the 4th quarter because of his FT shooting. So, play him most of his minutes in the first three quarters to keep Nurk fresh and out of foul trouble.

It will never happen. The Clipps will get better offers for teams desperate for defense and rebounding.
