For the last few years people criticized DA for not drafting Jordan, and saying he should get fired...

Now that he's about to trade for him people, probably some of the same, want him fired as well...

Yes its different, we'd be giving up a great player for a okay young player instead of drafting him and having the old player too...

But its also how people talk Jordan up and then tear him down the next. SMH...

I hate to loose KG and PP. BUT...In two years they will be gone, our current young players a little older and near end of contracts. Now if you can get a young running and flying center and get Rondo make him look good, in a year you flip him and pics for either a lotto pic or a star level player.

People worry about him and Rondos free throw shooting, or shooting over all, but also they want to tank to get a top 5 in next years draft. But wouldn't that be part of the plan, have good enough players to make trade bait, but not have a good enough team but also bad shooting at the end of games were they loose them close.

People also talk like we are only getting peanuts. Well not really. If we get some okay players that people may want in a year or two, and multiple pics for two players that will play only a year or two. Thats not that bad. We get those teams picks when they need it, and players to move for a quick rebuild. Yeah we suck now and maybe the year or two after, but then it should get better. If we just run the course then we are okay now and maybe next year, but then in two years we suck and probably for a lot longer.

Theres good and bad both ways and people will think DA should get fired for either. Its just funny.

some people want a king's ransom for a 37 year old KG with bone spurs.

Jordan instead of JR Giddens, for the price of a late first rounder is one thing.

Jordan and a draft pick instead of KG, for 10/million a year is a different thing entirely.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Deandre Jordan was a great player when he was the center for the Clippers.  Now that he could possibly be a Celtic soon, all his flaws are enormous.
