Well to be fair, we're not pitching the role players. I think if we showed a strong interest in the role players it'd be different, but we just tell them to wait while we go after bigger names. Ed Davis...
Can we just trade for Roy Hibbert please? At this point I just need a f***ing center. See I can't even buy the idea that we're tight-lipped as an organization anymore. Even if we are that way, it's not like other teams and other agents are tight-lipped. The fact that we're not hearing that the Lakers are trying to make moves....might mean that we're not trying to make any moves.
If KD goes to clips next year instead of choosing us, the entire front office needs to be fired. That includes Jimmy boy even if a year early. You do not loose a top free agent to your cross town rival. Not when all they can manage is division championships. Not ever.
It's time to move on. Clearly, LA isn't gonna sign with us and pretty much all the free agents are signed by now. Another season of losing and just trying to develop our young players. Kobe gonna retire after this season because clearly, they won't win a championship anytime soon. Then we'll just wait till Jim Buss is gone and then we'll keep building after that.
DJ's the best on teams because he's ridiculos efficient on offense and because defense matters. He's ckearly elite defensively.
No arguing the defense. Even then I don't think he's "irreplaceable" he's not...Ben Wallace or something. However on offense we're forgetting a key tenet of his production came from Chris Paul getting him easy looks. Also the attention to Blake Griffin and their shooters spacing the floor. I could be wrong but unless he's been working on his post game I don't see him being as efficient in Dallas.
I know he was not, i heard he has been loaned to Chelsea...Im going to be pissed if he does good there lol
It doesn't matter at this point... Jordan goes home where he's familiar with the state. Nowitzki is still there. Cuban will try his damndest to lure complementary pieces [like the Lakers are doing...NOT!]. The Clippers? Griffin could opt out in two. Paul is still gets on his nerves. The only iso Jordan probably gets is when he's dressing up. Last I hear Clippers have no bench. Who knows how Fester will react after not making it to the conference finals? Essentially, Jordan is tired of the joint...wanted a change in surroundings.
Might mean that Mitch is working though. Nothing leaks from the Lakers side. Look at when we acquired Pau. It just happened.
True But if the front office thinks they're gonna get a star to play here when we dont even have any role players to put around them theyre stupider than i thought.
My thoughts exactly. Chris Paul routinely set DJ up with easy looks. Who's gonna do that in Dallas? Devin Harris? This was a lose/lose for both the Clippers and DJ. Some guys just fit better with some teams. DJ would've had more success with us even, because Kobe, Clarkston and Russell would've gave him similar easy baskets that CP3 did. Now, he will fade into obscurity because he cannot create his own offense.
These talking heads are making Parsons out to be some elite level player and star. He's good, as in really good role player. They are acting like he's about to put up points and get DJ all these looks. Microfracture must have come a long way.
