I'm not opposed to trading Tyson for Jordan. Hell, as far as I can tell I'm the first person that brought it up, but it's a clear downgrade at center. Tyson's a better rebounder, defender, and offensive player than Jordan; the only thing Jordan is better at is shot blocking and it isn't by that much. If we're going to downgrade like that we need a significant improvement in another part of the roster and the 25th pick in a bad draft isn't it. For comparison, here's the list of players that have been drafted at 25 since 2000, it ain't exactly a murderer's row:
Phoenix - Jake Tsakalidis
Sacramento - Gerald Wallace
Denver - Frank Williams
Detroit - Carlos Delfino
Boston - Tony Allen
Seattle - Johan Petro
Cleveland - Shannon Brown
Utah - Morris Almond
Houston - Nicolas Batum
OKC - Rodrique Beaubois
Memphis - Dominique Jones
Boston - Marshon Brooks
Memphis - Tony Wroten
How many of those players would actually improve our team? Gerald Wallace, Batum, and maybe Allen
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
