Re: DeAndre Jordan to sign with the Dallas Mavericks

Ok. Was worried there for a minute that Dallas was going to bottom out after not being in the LMA sweepstakes at all. But w/ Matthews, Parsons, Dirk, and DeAndre we've at least improved defensively over last year. Now about that point guard...

Rodney Stuckey, Lou Williams, Dellavedova, Barbosa, and Andre Miller are the best PGs left on the market.

Big loss for the Clippers. Big win for the Mavs. Now they just need a good PG and they could be very interesting in the west next year. Who's their PG now? Harris?

Re: DeAndre Jordan to sign with the Dallas Mavericks

All the Clippers fans who were killing him on the internet when they were down 3-2 to San Antonio, NOFX22 who wanted to trade him every year and even for Garnett, they're all going to realize what they had and lost next year.

Good move for the Mavs. If LMA joins the Spurs, the Southwest will continue to be the toughest division in the league by far.

Funny to watch the Clippers self-implode this off-season. Ouch.

Can Clippers make the playoffs?

Can Clippers make the playoffs?
Yes. This is still at least a 50-win team IMO. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are still All-Stars. They need to find themselves a serviceable big man to replace Jordan, but otherwise I don't see them imploding. A better question would be: Who will be the better team next year? Clippers or Mavs?

I'll say Clippers. But their window to get a title is closing.

Re: DeAndre Jordan to sign with the Dallas Mavericks

Dirk is like 37. In a year or two it's gonna be Deandre and an injury prone Parsons and that's it lol
Agree. This is a terrible signing for the Mavs, and it also makes little sense for DeAndre.

Clippers are screwed with two guys earning $40 million under the current cap.

@Ron you can switch back. Clippers will still be better next year, but won't be long.

Re: DeAndre Jordan to sign with the Dallas Mavericks

This is disturbing. The guy left a team that could have contended for a title to go and join the Mavs? Can this guy seriously think he's going to be spoon fed shots like Paul did this season?

Neither team will be moving past the second round. Not with their current rosters. If I were the Clips I try to get Nene or Varejao. Their center position is woefully shoddy.

Re: DeAndre Jordan to sign with the Dallas Mavericks

Clippers solution would be

1. K Perkins
2. Amare
3. Sign Rivers a one year big contract and deal him for a big Center.

not enough to deal for Varejao, Nene or Roy H.

Over the Cap, can't sign anyone.

Re: DeAndre Jordan to sign with the Dallas Mavericks

As funny as it is watching the Clippers ruin their team, I can't help but feel this was a bad decision for Deandre. What is he hoping to prove? You're going from Chris Paul feeding you to free buckets to a team where you don't even know who the Point Guard even is. That's not going to help him prove anything.

Maybe LA wasn't offering that same money. Maybe he was unhappy for personal reasons. I don't know, but it doesn't seem like a good on-the-court decision..
