That genetic lottery allows him to be the best defender at the 5 position in the league right now. Not to mention he's an excellent rebounder. Cavs need defense. Hibbert had no speed, no hops, no athleticism whatsoever, DJ can run the fast break with you for an alley oop, he can come up to the top of the key to defend. I ship Tristan JR and D-will, and Korver for DJ with no f*cks given.

Tristan is better then that bum![]()
DJ averaged 13 points on 71% FG
, 14 boards, and 2 blocks per game in 2016. How is this even a debate? Between Love and DJ opps wouldn't get one offensive rebound.Bruh, what are you talking about
He wasn't the best defensive center in the league last year, that was Gobert by hundreds of miles. The Clippers weren't even top 10 defensively this season.
Most overrated big man in the league since Dwight fall off
They still lose in 5
DeAndre aint blocking those 3s

Replace Tristan with Deandre. How would the Cavs NOT perform better against Golden State?
Tristan isn't providing any offense either, and Deandre is actually a lot better at catching lobs and finishing around the rim. He opens the team up to Hack-a-Shaq tactics, but I'm not sure if Kerr is trying that in a Finals anyway. Tristan was essentially neutralized (and damn near eliminated in some games) by Zaza Pachulia, he's not doing that against Jordan.
Deandre Jordan had the most defensive rebounds and was #6 in blocks. Gobert isn't available, and DJ is the most athletic center, there's a reason the Mavs wanted him. With a good pick n crash system and a good passing PG DJ is dominant. Clips aren't a playoff team without DJ. I'll admit Gobert has him on stats somewhat but if I need someone to hold it down in the paint defensively I'm taking DJ 10 out of 10 times.

Gobert is better than Jordan, it's not even close either.
You're vastly overrating Jordan![]()
You allow an athlete like Lebron to help with DJ backing him you gon see scores in the 80s in some games for the opps. I'm that confidenent about that. Kyie, Lebron, Love, DJ, now that's a squad frfr 
25 points, 18 boards, and 4 blocks, f*cka outta here, I ain't overrating sh*tYou allow an athlete like Lebron to help with DJ backing him you gon see scores in the 80s in some games. I'm that confidenent about that. Kyie, Lebron, Love, DJ, now that's a squad frfr
