DJ can be valuable in RS but I don't think he pushes us any closer to another ring. If we add him and play him, it'd mean opponents can just pack the paint and dare us to shoot all day long.

This is what I'm wondering. I thought we needed a 5 that can stretch the floor? DJ cannot do that to say the least. AD of course can...

I like DJ fine but I guess I'm just not understanding what he is supposed to be bringing to the party.

Two centers who made their NBA careers based off of high flying dunks and elite rim protection.

Both of them changed their diets to become extreme vegans.

Deandre still smokes a quarter pound of weed a week as Javale always struggled with asthma so never found out any information on whether he’s into pot.

Deandre still owns his beach mansion out here in So Cali and maintained all his connections and if anyone can give this guy some shock therapy and bring back his elite play it would be Lebron and Russ. I’m with 2019 I’d rather have Javale who seems to have aged much better but with that option gone I’m okay with rolling the dice on DJ

Two seven footers with freak athleticism who never made much out of their careers.

Upon formal completion of a buyout with the Detroit Pistons, center DeAndre Jordan intends to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell ESPN. Jordan would have to first clear waivers to become a free agent.

It does seem strange since they brought Dwight back on board.

If it happens, I have to assume Gasol will be leaving.

He’s not going to play much. Probably 5-10 minutes a game at most. Y’all forget how easily guys where getting to the bucket when AD was out. With Howard and DJ back there that’s gone. It’ll be like 2020 where those trees will be waiting on them.

Gasol is still the better fit with AD.

I would prefer DJ be the 3rd stringer, in case of injury.

Gasol is done. He can't even jump over a book. He couldn't even hit his 3s and was a liability on the offense.

I didn’t realize that OKC was only at $79 mil in salary. If DJ had trade value that would be smart of them. But he doesn’t.

Of Gasol, Dwight and DJ.

DJ is the one that seems to have the least left in the tank. So I don't get this move. Why let Drummond walk if you're just gonna get Dwight and then Deandre Jordan.

If the combination of Kyrie, Durant and Harden couldn't unlock Deandre's elite play. I doubt Russ, LeBron and AD would. Maybe he just is what he is now.
