"But there have long been rumblings that Jordan is eager to step into a new situation, one where he's not always perceived as the third fiddle." Jordan never struck me as being the sharpest tool in the box, so I guess it is possible he uttered those remarks. (But it sounds more like media talk) He will never be more than 3-4th fiddle on a good team. Not offensively anyways. After all these years he still has not expanded his offensive game out further than a dunk. But I do not see him leaving unless Doc decides to go a different way. If Doc shows him "love"....... he will resign. And that's good for the rest of the conference as it will tie up more cap space for them.
Jordan is actually not as good a defender as Robin Lopez, just a much flashier shot-blocker. And I really don't want to see "hack a Jordan" come to Portland.
If he could just shoot higher than 50%, he would be a star. That is what really makes me not want him. he really needs to work on the mental game.
If only somebody could invent the right meds, a team could pick up Larry Sanders AND Royce White for a song and have an immediate talent upgrade...
so he wants to go to a team where he will be the best player? who could that be, seriously, 76ers? Lakers? pretty much every team already has a player (or two) better than him.
Although if Jordan did come to PDX, I'm sure more people would be in favor of the international foul rule change.
Old link..you really think ROLO is better? Especially if "defensive rebounding" or rebounding in general factors in... My lord... Last time ROLO had multiple 20 board games? Or almost won DPOY.. Cmon now. Robin is not near the defender DeAndre is, especially not this most recent year.
You are sort of skating around the issue here. The clips lost because the opponent does not need to worry about Jordan on the offensive end. The clips played 4 on 5 all the time, somewhat Rivers fault but it is do to Jordan. Man that guy takes some bone headed time off! Not so sure Work fixed it.
Reports coming out that Jordan and Paul had a falling out throughout the season. Further evidence in my mental book that Chris Paul is an Asshole.
I've said it since the RoLo thread and I'll keep saying it. Watch this situation, I think Blazers will be making a big play for DJ. And if you think he isn't a MAJOR upgrade over RoLo or the sudden retarded re-fascination with Hibbert going around this forum then you are crazy.
Jordan is absolutely better than RoLo, RoLo couldn't guard Kwame the last two months of the season if he tried.
I wonder if that started after/during the Portland game. (The game we won in OT) I was at the game when Jordan had one of his many brain farts, and thought that regulation ended when the shot clock went off. And didn't dunk the ball for the win. CP3 went ballistic on him.
