Please watch this entire video, then tell me that you still want DeAndre.  Just watch the whole video before you respond to this comment.

Thank you.  Again, please watch the entire thing.

Wow, really bad, that is for sure, but only 2 air balls.  He has 5 seasons where he shot under 40% from the line.  That is worse than Rondo (who is currently at 42% for the season).

Not saying I would do the trade but we'd still have Amir so if it came down to Hack-a-DJ we would sub in AJ (KO).

A so called "unsourced rumor":

http://www.crossmap.com/news/los-angeles-clippers-nba-trade-rumors-la-clippers-to-trade-deandre-jordan-22869

The proposed trade involves the Clippers trading Jordan to the Celtics while Josh Smith and Lance Stephenson go to the 76ers. In the exchange, Boston gives Tyler Zeller to the Clippers, and Jared Sullinger and a 2016 draft pick to the Sixers, who in turn gives Nerlens Noel and Robert Covington to the Clippers. Ever one stands to gain in this proposal

So we get:
DeAndre Jordan for Sullinger, Zeller and a 2016 pick (not specific which one)

The Clips get:
Zeller, Covington and Noel for Jordan

The Sixers get:
Josh Smith, Stephenson, Sullinger and one of our #1s for Noel and Robert Covington

Assuming it is not the Nets #1, I am OK with the deal for the Celtics.  Not sure the Clips get better so not sure they would do it but maybe Doc really likes Noel.  And who knows with the Sixers what they would do.

That would be a really lousy trade for the Sixers if it was not the Nets pick.  Even if it was, I don't think its a good trade for them.  I can't see them actually wanting any of the players so its just a single 1st for both Noel and Covington.  They should be able to get more than that.

Yeah, it's not like it cost LAC the game.  He went 14/34 in a playoff game last season that they won also. 

As bad as DJ's shooting is, it also forces the opponents to play a half court offense which is less efficient than your average offensive possession.  Not enough to make the hacking a bad strategy, but the difference between DJ's ft% and opponent's offensive % in a half court set when DJ is on the floor probably isn't as big of a net negative as it is made out to seem.

I will concede that he is neck and neck with Wilt for FG%, it's just that hack a shaq is so brutal to watch I just don't want a player that will subject me to it all the time.

I love unsourced rumors that are light years off on salary matching.
