DeAndre Jordan Might Be A Blazer Superthread

Nurkic finished January averaging 13.6 points, 9.5 rebounds on over 50% shooting and also shot 70% from the line. This correlated with his usage % going down. He’s a Steven Adams type player who’s forced into more responsibility offensively because our supporting cast is trash.

Maybe let him develop.

Or panic and get glorified Ed Davis on the back end of his career. Great idea. Also pay him more.

Fuck this entire discussion. If Olshey does this, it’d be a disaster, and you can bet we’d get worse, not better.

 

Your mean-spirited sarcasm always ends every discussion.

 

Good.

 

Neil Olshey's trade and free agency ideas give me AIDS-cancer.

DeAndre Jordan? FML.

 

If it were up to him we’d have spencer hawes and Chandler Parsons on our payroll right now.

It’s hilarious that there was an option even worse than Evan Turner and Olshey was ready to dive in.

 

Trade Dame. He's the most overrated player in the league. Fred Van Fleet went thru him like nothing. Often times Dame isn't even one of the best 10 guys on the floor. Volume shooter. Hits open 3's makes him look great. Gets paid 27 mil a year while everyone else does all the hard work to free him up for the launch. 108th in FGA. 4th in the league in shot attempts. That's what PA is feeding us.

 

True dat

 

What is this? Stotts had turned Nurk into Nurf?

 

Only if we turn around and re-sign Davis if they are cutting him.

 

I hope I missed the green faunt. Either that or your stats are stale and you didn't watch the game last night when they showed how much he has improved in January.

 

The Thrill is Gone. No one will want to join the Clippers. They're going to resume their place as LA's ugly stepsister.

 

I question that.

LA is always a destination and if the Lakers fail to nail down a good team in the next couple years, the Clippers may re surge quickly.

How much I would love for the Lakers to become perennial losers like the Clips once were. IF that happens, I think the CLips become the destination team of Cali. GSW has had their hay day and cant afford anything anymore. They will be great for a couple more season, but it will break down due to finances soon enough.

 

I want you guys to know I love it over here. Can't talk like this over at OLive without a battle ensuing.

 

Sly, Time to Flex. We are all about sensorship here and if you don't agree with me then get banned!!!!!

Now, on the serious... you will get many battles here, but we battle like men. We go out back and its a one on one and someone ends up with a black eye or a bloody nose and heals in a few days.

We don't allow weapons or sneak attacks. That shit is for the pussies of the world

We battle like men here.

Wanna see my scars?

 

Can we get a merge of the two Jordan trade threads?

The only way I can see a Jordan deal coming here make any sense is if we received an offer we like enough on Nurk that has us looking at C replacements. I dunno what that could be. Maybe a swap of Nurk and Aaron Gordon has Neil intrigued enough to look at short term C replacement?
I think Collins can be a PF, but maybe the organization views him as a C going forward, and the goal in a Nurk-Jordan sort of swap is to find a shorter stopgap, versus re-signing Nurk this offseason, and then having to trade him in 2 years.

Something like Orlando sends out Vuc, Gordon for Leonard, Nurk, Swanigan, and our 1st
LAC gets Aminu and Vuc for Jordan
We send Leonard, Aminu, Nurk, Swanigan, 1st for Gordon, Jordan(Gordon would be follow up swap for our TPE)
We basically swap out our PF/C rotation, with an eye on Collins being the COTF when Jordan leaves after next season(let's assume he picks up his option year, because of lack of available suitors this offseason)

 

merge em!

 

Give it time and don't bet HCP a hundred bucks

 

"improved in January" good. At 27 mil I hope so. haha. at that price he should be at the top of his game. "Improved" The "improving" all-star. Fred Van Fleet. did i watch the game ? smh. a blowout from tip to horn. unbelievable.

 

Last night was February...

 

And? He will continue to improve his efficiency in Feb?
