DeAndre Jordan being shopped
- Thread starter BigTyme Records
- Start date
The Bucks seem to be the frontrunner to land him.

Flip him for Capella and assets to bring D back home to the H
What other assets ? The rockets need all of their supporting cast including Andersen. He's more explosive than Clint but a worse FT shooter. Rockets are better off with what they have.

But Capela is like 85% of DJ impact wise, for less money, AND youngerFlip him for Capella and assets to bring D back home to the H
That'd be like the Lakers trading Kobe for MJ in 2002
Man I just dont understand big league front offices.
You have Giannis...who is talented enough to be the #1 on a Championship team (or will be if he continues to improve)...GET HIM SOME GOT DAMN SHOOTERS
Nobody can take him one on one...so clear the floor and let him force doubles and kick it out!!
And yet...they continue to aquire non-shooters who occupy the same space on the floor as Giannis.
They have one of maybe 5 guys EVER who can potentially match LeBron on both sides of the floor and they're gonna waste his 20's and lose him for nothing
lol what are they going to offer? Giannis obviously untouchable, they finna get rid of one of jabari/middleton/maker for deandre?
bucks would be stupid to trade middleton for deandre, they need shooters not a big man who can't score
Middleton is up for a contract after next season so while he's a good player, he could be looking at a Mike Conley type deal which is
Also, since his hamstring injury he's more of an SF now in terms of who he can guard, which is only going to get more complicated when Jabari comes back. If I were the Bucks I'd think about moving him since Brogdon has the size to play the 2 and is on a great contract, plus they could probably get the Clippers to take on some salary if they added him into the deal. As for why they'd want DeAndre, they are dead last in rebounding in both off/def. In any deal they'd still have Thon so they could still develop him as their stretch 5,

Shooters aren't exactly out in abundance, and if they were, they're gonna command almost as much as Jordan. Korver was WASHED in Atlanta and he still commanded a first rounder.
It doesn't help though that a player like Vaughn has not panned out because he was supposed to help out with shooting.

Didn't Clippers GM Lawrence Frank have beef with Jason Kidd when Kidd had Frank on his staff in BKN? I think I remember him demoting the man from head assistant to running daily reports 
I wonder if Clippers even want to deal with the Bucks because of that.
Edit: here is the story I was referencing:
Why is the East so bad now? Ten factors stand out the most

Warriors picked up Young and Casspi for nothing. OKC picked up Patterson. Cleveland got Calderon and Jeff Green (even tho he's not really a shooter, he can play the 4 next to Giannis better than anybody they have) for nothing.
The Nets traded for D. Russell, the 6ers picked up JJ Redikk, the Clips picked up Gallinari (who is hurt yes, but also would play well next to Giannis).
Milwaukee isn't even TRYING to become a slashing/shooting team. What position does Jabari play when he comes back? WTF do you do with Thon if you land Deandre? Is Tony Snell gonna start at the 2 long term?
It's too many teams coming up on talent and rebuilding quickly to say "shooters aren't out in abundance" when a guy like Avery Bradley just got salary dumped and fits the team perfectly.

Nick Young took less money to go to Golden State. Casspi isn't bad at the 3 but he doesn't shoot it much
Patterson was available on the cheap because he shyt the bed during the playoffs from outside.
Redikk is there making $20 mil. Brooklyn traded Brook Lopez to get Russell. Gallinari is wildly overpaid considering how injury prone he is.
In theory, Parker, Maker, Middleton, Brogdon, now Bledsoe. That's their core (and they DID go out and get Bledsoe). It's not as if they had a wealth of assets to make more moves unless you're trading core pieces. Even with Giannis being who he is, nobody will take less money to play alongside him, which will always be an issue to deal with, so the guys they do have need to perform better.
Avery Bradley got traded for Marcus Morris. Who is the Marcus Morris of the Bucks where you say, sure, go ahead?

My point being...all those guys were available. You're telling me LA wouldn't have taken Monroe for Russell after they just tried to sign him 2 years ago???
Speaking of Monroe, he did choose Milwaukee over LA so we know its not impossible.
But even if it was they need to be trying to improve at any cost. Everybody but Giannis should be available.
Give up Henson or Parker or Thon or Middleton. Bradley fits WAY better than any of those guys and has playoff experience.
