If Rodman can fit the triangle though y wouldn't a guy like Jordan? His skill set on offense is getting put backs off offensive rebounds and pick and rolls which we do run within the triangle.

He is perfect next to Melo, and if we could get another stretch forward who can shoot or put the ball on the floor they would be even more deadly. Then a SG that can post up like Affalo.

I could understand the price may end up being to high though.

Tyson and Jordan produce at almost the exact same rate actually - Jordan just gets more mpg. If we were to acquire either one next year, I think it would give us back a good portion of the .300 point (at least half) drop in winning percentage that we lost from last year.

Nah, Tyson when he got 34-35mins a game he put up 11-12rebs and 1.8blks. Jorday gets close to 14rebs a game while sharing the frontcourt with another 10reb per game PF. While Griffin has been out Jordan has been gettin 22rebs a game. He probably won't average that for the season but he will get 16rebs per game. Tyson won't stay healthy if he is asked to play 35mins a game or more. Jordans pts have also climed to 24. Which would probably realisticaly be 15-16 if the season started this way.

Watching both of them play, Tyson's a better, more intelligent offensive player. He has a better feel of what the defense is doing and is quicker in getting in the right position to make a play. He's also a much better FT shooter: 64% vs 42% for their careers.

If we draft okafor maybe.... thing is the guy can't shoot at all and that's going to put him in the same situation Dalembert was in

D. Jordan is never gonna be in the same situation as Dalembert....which right now is out of the league. I'd take this guy anyday, triangle or octagon. Draft Mudiay & sign one of the better free agent big men.

What, Will Perdue had offensive skill? Bill Cartwright?

I'm sure he can do his thing somewhere in that triangle.

Rodman had no offense, I'm sure this guy can rebound in any offense no matter the shape.

check Dalembert stats and get back to me. DeAndre isn't exactly dwarfing what Dalembert did.

Will Perdue was fundementally sound. DeAndre is not.

Bill cartwright was a 20 pt a game scorer in his career. He was good in Chicago too. Guy could post up shoot, pass and hold his own on both ends of the floor against any center in his day. DeAndre wish he could be bill cartwright.

And Dennis Rodman is an all time great. He did more than just rebound. The guy could hit a free throw at the very least and was a good passer.

You are not sure if DeAndre jordan can do anything in the triangle. Don't throw real basketball players under the bus bbecause you like the way the guy dunks the basketball.

The dumbest part of your reply is the part where you say '...because you like the way the guy dunks the basketball'.

Never mentioned any part of his skill set so stop making **** up.

I must have missed all those 20-20 games Dalembert put up in his prime.

I'm sure he was a better shot blocker than D Jordan in his prime.
Don't make this triangle out to be advanced mathematics either.

I'm sure there are plenty of guys that can fit the system - if they want to.
