First off, Andrew thanks for the article.
Now for Caseload's analysis:
I'm sure Indiana is also intrigued by getting Jahidi and having a frontcourt of Jermaine and Jahidi, Double J's, so their frontcourt would be better. They could snag Jahidi for Al Harrington and/or Travis Best w/ picks.
Jahidi has been on the block for some time now, it's a wonder why no one has picked him up. The Mavs always want all the big guys they can get... but where would Jahidi fit in over there? I know they lost Booth, but they have Ruben W. coming into the fold, and they have some other big guns around, i.e. Gary Trent and lil' Rodman, aka Donnell Harvey (our pick from last year that the Mavs stole from us). In addition to Juwan Coward at the 4. Crowded frontcourt? Sure enough.
The Rockets currently have enough capspace to handle signing a Jahidi White clone, Marc Jackson of Golden State outright, which they were supposedly going to do once Hakeem packed his bags for the great white north. (no, not oklahoma; the dream is playing in toronto come fall.) Why would the rockets want to trade their current roster players when they can outright sign a duplicate player? Don't forget that Jahidi White is a 6'9" foul prone center.
Now the real deal question is - What is Jordan going to do with all that capspace he seems to be stockpiling. Hmmm. A former Washington Wizard by the first name Rasheed has an early out after next season. Who is going to be looking to get max money, and return from the Eastern Conference... you think if Jordan makes a return that he'd like to have a former Tar Hell, I meant Heel, who played Center on his squad? This Rashard Lewis stuff is just a pure smoke screen, like when Jordan was saying earlier this year that he'd draft Rodney White, and even earlier that he'd go after Brian Scalbrine of USC (who went in the 2nd round). Jordan, please, you might be a Wizard now, but we've caught on to your tricks Mike.
PS - ESPN INsider guys - how is Jordan going to score Dukie PG, J-Will Part Deux, if he makes his comeback? The Wiz can't be a lotto team and play in the playoffs the same year. Think guys, before you write.
If Jordan were to try and have his team tank games so he could stockpile his draft picks, what would he hope to transform his team into? Clippers East? I don't think that's in his game plan.
