Mecca of the “B” Team

Not sure what Doc is doing at this point, I don't have a ton of confidence in the guy as a GM and I find him to be a slightly above average coach at best. I think the Clippers need to trade Jordan while he is still highly regarded. IMO, he isn't worth his big contract but he is very attractive to other teams so the Clips can fill the needs you are talking about by trading Jordan. What's your opinion of Jordan???
I absolutely DESPISED him, until this Season.
But, Doc has made me a believer.
Jordan bought in to Doc's system and improved across the board.
Double digit scoring, almost 3 blocks per game and led the NBA in boards and he's only 25.
As far as the money goes, bigs are overpaid. We have to live with that.
He doesn' t have the same impact as a guy like Noah. But, his numbers are better than Hibbert's, Bogut's and Chandler's and all 3 of those guys make more.
If they trade him, they are insane.
The only reason to consider it, is if he intends to walk in the offseason.
Either way, Blake gets seriously exposed and so does Spencer Hawes.
Those 3 guys should compliment each other well because they have very different skill sets.
Hawes is a stretch 4/5 with good rebounding. But, Zero defense.
Blake attacks the rack, is developing a consistent jumper, boards okay, blocks zero shots, plays zero defense.
Jordan cleans the boards, blocks shots, protects the rim. Range only extends to the length of his arm because he can't do more than dunk.
We need all 3.
