Who's A. Jordan?

Re: Varejo for a. Jordan?

Just by going off the players he listed like odom and leslie its safe to assume that a jordan is deandre jordan from the clippers. And thats a awful trade.

[aldogabd]

Its DeAndre Jordan and no that's a bad trade the clippers need more back

Wait, who is J. Johnson?

Re: Varejo for a. Jordan?

hmm I don't think it's that bad of a trade I think Varejo is a great defender, rebounder, consistent, and can score when he has great players to get him the ball. I think he would be a great fit in LA because he is always consistent, while Jordan is all potential. You also save money because Jordan contract is long. I also like the pairing of Irving, Waiter, Jordan that's a good solid start for them. Maybe add Gibson and take odom out to make it look more fair. I still think it's a good trade

No way cavs will trade varejao for deandre. The other guys are just fillers.

Air Jordan

Wait, who is J. Johnson?

Jimmy Johnson



Kind of a weird deal. On one hand, you're giving up Michael Jordan but on the other hand, you are getting a coach who's proven he knows how to win, and you can't put a price on that.

Re: Varejo for a. Jordan?

Yes Deandre Jordan is all potential but can become great with Irving. Also that would be JeJuan Johnson a free agent pick up before season.

Re: Varejo for a. Jordan?

Sure you can make this trade but dont see how it benefits LA when VJao is older and cost the same roughly. Id add in a draft pick to the Clippers for that trade

Re: Varejo for a. Jordan?

I'd never accept this trade if I were the Clipper GM.

To make it somewhat fairer - I'd want at least 2 picks to even consider this. D.Jordan is not only potential, but he also is the perfect bigman to grow in tandem with Clipper core.

Varejo is not going to grow with the Clipper core, and while more defensive then Jordan, he will not provide any of the upside that Jordan does offensively.

Well I think Varejo is a better short term complement player to griffin Jordan has no post game and is only a dunker. Him and griffin will not work in long run unless one of the two become a true post player ( Duncan / Robinson , Olajuwon / Sampson, duckworth / kersey and many others I can name.

Varejao isnt much of a post player either but Jordan has potential to get better and Varejao has already hit his peak. Jordan actually looked like the post work he put into the offseason has done him some good. He's looked pretty good this year. Of course he isnt a master but he is serviceable in the post unlike previous years. He's younger, better shotblocker, and has the potential to be a much better player than Varejao. Not seeing any reason at all why the Clippers would trade a 24 year old athletic freak making 10.5M a year for a 29 year old role player making slightly less. What if you make that trade and Jordan actually becomes much better than he is now? Lets say ceiling Andrew Bogut w/o injuries? Then how idiotic would that move look?

On paper I agree on the need for Jordan to develop to really show his true potential. After playing 30ish games with the Clippers (in 2k)and watching how Chris Paul, Billups and Crawford take advantage of Jordan's dunk/ally-oop ability, I can't ever see the Clippers giving him up.

In real life, I also think (for now) the chemistry, the raw athleticism and the Clipper's management flexibility in allowing their players to be themselves outweighs the technical ... but as you said long term he will need to develop; something they can send him to others to learn (or bring in).

I do see your point and stebossk but if how long will the clippers wait for 2 players develop before they have had enough. Chris Paul and Crawford are young to be awaiting for development there looking for the championship. Don't get me wrong griffin is a monster but he and Jordan lack the same skill sets they really should never be on court together IMO.
