Chinese Jordan will have to settle for a minimum deal, but he's gonna be a huge pick-up whenever he becomes a Free Agent.

He wants to start and mentions the Bulls, Clippers, and Knicks as possible destinations

I would love this. Bulls had him but traded him before he even played a game. Move Rip to the bench and start JR Smith.

Naoh/Asik
Boozer/Taj/Scalabrine
Deng/Korver/Brewer
JR Smith/Rip/Brewer
Rose/Watson

Translation: He has no interest in returning for Denver

He wants to play for the Clippers, Knicks, or Bulls

[Al Thornton]

it's just so strange when players want to come to the clippers.

J.R.Smith thinks he would start for the Clippers.
He also wouldn't mind playing for the Knicks.
On the other hand he wanted to be in Bulls jersey since Michael Jordan played there.

Thats a nasty backcourt. Rose would have no excuses not to up his assist numbers with Rip & JR Smith rotating at the SG position.

Can you imagine Rose & JR Smith on the fastbreak? :eek:

perfect....thanks. wanted to hear/read that. just couldnt figure it out from the twitter stuff.

[Clippersfan86]

Would be sick on the Clippers. My problem is we don't need another guy who wants to score 20 points a game. I have a feeling he wouldn't buy into the idea that CP3+Griffin= the franchise players.

[Rowe]

Clippers are the new team everybody wants to play for.

CP3 is one of the most popular players in the NBA & Blake Griffin's potential of becoming a superstar makes guys want to join up and be apart of something they think will be "special".

JR Smith is the perfect option at SG for LA. He can easily match Eric Gordon's production in a starting role at around 19 PPG.

And he would need only 25 shots per game to do that :lol

jr would be PERFECT for the clips :applause: :rockon:

[Clippersfan86]

So you guys are that confident JR wouldn't mind being a 3rd or 4th option even as a starter? I'm not confident about that. Dude wants to be THE MAN.

[NuggetsFan]

J.R will be a great pickup for a team. He's a great wildcard. His streaking shooting can literally win you games when he get's hot. He's obviously a knuckle head and abit of a headache but I think it'd be worth it. He's putting effort in on defense. His midrange game was really starting to take off too.

He'd be HUGE for the Knicks or Bulls when you consider the risk\reward factor. Still rather see him on a team like the Bobcats where he'd be able to chuck and put on a show :lol . Raptors perhaps.

CP3 is only going to give you 15 or so PPG.

Hes no longer aggresively looking for his shot like he did under Byron Scott in New Orleans. Having to shoulder such a load of scoring as well as creating for others is what led to his injuries.

Jordan has no offensive impact, Griffin will give you his 22 PPG, and I'd be shocked if Caron Butler averaged over 15 PPG without shooting below 40% from the Field.

At the very least Smith would come right in and knock down open 3's all game. The greatest asset of a PG/PF combo is that it leaves the shooters open on the wing.

I agree.Would love to see him on a bad team chucking shots like crazy.

[NuggetsFan]

I agree.Would love to see him on a bad team chucking shots like crazy.

He would attempt anything. Seen him try to 360 a layup in traffic for no reason. He'll never be a smart player but he's fun to watch and when he's on he goes crazy.

I reaaaally hope sometime before he turns 30 he finds a team that's basically tanking and doesn't have any star caliber players to really develop and are willing to give him 35+ minutes a night and do his thing. Wouldn't lead to wins but entertainment for sure, if you weren't a fan of that team anyways.

Wanna place a wager with me right now?

Griffin will average 24+ ppg this year. CP3 will average 19+ ppg. They are going to raise each other up big. I'm willing to bet you a 1 month avy on this if you want. We can cash in at all star break or end of season, up to you.

Hes never been "the man" so why would he want to be "the man" now?

Hes always played his role as a 6th Man, even when Melo left and Denver badly needed someone to step in and fill his void. Smith kept producing at the same rate off the bench, instead of trying to take over every game like some people thought he would.

JR could've been "the man" for a bad NBA team, but he enjoys winning.

Lets be honest he would/could average 25 PPG in Charlotte or Toronto and go to the All Star Game.

[yanix]

i think after the k-mart era
those Denver Thugets players wouldn't mind to return
and Birdman is going to be the last thug

[Clippersfan86]

I'll take your word for it. I'm sure I haven't watched as much JR as you. When I've seen him... he seems to have a questionable shot selection and take way more shots than he should. Honestly though is he an upgrade to Billups who put up like 17.5 ppg, 5 rpg, 5.5 apg or w/e last year?

You also forgot to mention all crazy ways of celebrating he would bring to table.

Deal.

Blake needs a mid-range jumpshot, and CP3 has no intentions of attempting to go for 20+ every night. What he did in New Orleans would show you that hes taking a different, better approach to the game.

Blake doesn't make CP3 better because Blake doesn't require a double team at this stage of his career, CP3 makes Blake better tho.

:roll: WTF dude? Blatant trolling? Only player who saw more doubles/defensive attention last year than Griffin is Howard. Which is exactly why I said CP3 will see a boost. The doubles= wide open 3's for a much improved outside shot by CP3. I'm sure you'll watch a lot of Clippers games this year and see what I'm talking about.

Blake doesn't require a double team.

That was my point.

It isnt hard to see why Blake received double teams for the Clippers last year when you look at his usage rate, but then you look at their number of losses as well which makes it understandable.

With CP3 & others improving this team, I highly doubt any team will need to double him. They know where he gets his baskets and they know where he can't shoot from, which is anywhere 10 feet out.

[NuggetsFan]

Anybody can do drugs. Not exclusive to "thugs". If you want to stereotype Bird I'd probably say he'd fit into the "hick" area more so than thug. Stereotyping NBA players based on tatoo's and drug suspensions is pretty stupid tho.

[Rowe]

oh. so a "thug" is a person with tattoos and has a nickname?

Yep, thats how people see it.

I dont care tbh. Birdman seems like a cool dude and knowing his background story, I have a lot of respect for him.

[NugzFan]

Let me ask this. If you admit CP3 makes Griffin better why will Griffin's PPG stay the same despite his shot attempts likely increasing? Then with Griffin's passing ability and court vision why won't CP3's scoring go up? His knee is supposedly healthier and he will be much more wide open with the weapons Clippers have. There isn't a single player you can leave open in our starting 5. Even DeAndre will dunk on you and get team/crowd pumped if you leave him.

Aren't Smith and Afflalo both free agents?

With the Clippers' $13,124,968 in cap space, couldn't they sign J.R. ($6,757,851) and Afflalo ($1,959,577) and still have around $4.4 million in remaining cap room?

That cap is gone after Billups+DJ extension dude. Clippers are now over cap a couple million. We got 3.5 million trade exception which counts as cap though.

QuanM_11 asked JR Smith "would u rather go to the LA Clippers or back to Denver Nuggets" and he retweeted the question and answered with "Clips done coming off the bench!"

And he would need only 25 shots per game to do that :lol
and he'd get them.

[LosBulls]

Look at his twitter page. Red hat red jacket red hair..hmm...

[FourthTenor]

and he'd get them.


He wouldnt get them, he'd take them.

[knightfall88]

How do you guys know he can get out of his Chinese contract?

Their season ends in late April I think, so they can come back and sign with playoff teams.
