Clips laugh and hang up on you irregardless of what their record says. Jordan looks very similar to Dwight Howard first yr in the league now that he's getting PT. You don't trade Dwight Howard potential plus Camby for David Lee and fillers. If our GM would have just been agressive to buy picks we could of had the kid it's not like we couldn't use an athletic big man who can block shots in this system.
Our GM was aggressive trying to buy picks. Other teams just offerd more. We tried to trade for a 2nd rd pick to get Mario Chalmers.
The Heat acquired Mario Chalmers (No. 34) from the Timberwolves for cash and two second-round picks in 2009.
The price for an early 2nd rder was at least 2 2nd rders in 2009 which we didn't have. I don't even think we had one. We would have had to trade Balkman and a 2010 2nd rder if we even had one of those. I don't think that was enough to entice teams.
In a three team deal, the Bulls acquired the draft rights to Omer Asik (No. 36) from Blazers, the Blazers recieved a (Knicks) 2009 2nd rounder (from Bulls), and 2009 (Warriors) 2nd rounder from (from Nuggets). The Nuggets received Sonny Weems (No. 39).

If Jordan was in a Knick uniform having a game like that--there would be 100 posters collectively orgasming at the mouth.
There would have been one poster claiming that he is Dwight Howard(probably you) there would have been 2 posters backing those thoughts. Then there would be like 30 posters talking about how everyone needs to temper there excitement as he has a lot of developing to do.
My friend if Deandre Jordan went for 23-12 with 4 blocks on 11-12 from the field with an array of dunks on a Laker team that sports the biggest and best frontline in the NBA with a Knicks jersey on his back--the guy would be on the front page of the Daily News and every poster here would be up in arms. Come on look at the Gallinari posts then multiply that by 50. Did you watch him play last night? This wasnt Eddie Lee Wilkins of 25 years ago. This guy was smashing dunks and rejecting shots on Gasol Bynum and Odom.
Im sure there are plenty of Clippers fans are probably going crazy. Im sure if I went to a clippers message board right now. There will be a few people claiming that he is Dwight Howard, and a bunch of people talking about how people need to temper there excitement and to let him develop as it was only one or 2 games.
Jordan is a boom or bust type of player. Most people new that going into the draft & coming out of the draft. Clippers got him in the perfect spot because as a 2nd rd pick it eliminates the bust aspect. Plus he has Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman, Zach Randolph to learn from. Jordan is in a good position he just has to want to be good.
I was hoping we were able to land him when we traded Randolph to the Clippers. Im sure Walsh inquired about him, but Clippers probably declined. I also hope Jordan pans out to become a stud. The NBA needs more quality big men.
