I don't buy this at all.
Almost every good team in the league this year has 2 good big men... Golden state is the exception
Who knows how the season would have turned out if it wasn't for all the injuries.
Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

so deandre jordan is going to take less money and less financial security through the years, to move across the hallway to play for the less talented team?

But if you're willing to give Jahlil the benefit of the doubt when it comes to defense why not the same for D'lo?
D'Angelo is a much better prospect than 2014 G class with Exum, Smart, Payton and lightyears better than the 2013 G class with McLemore/Burke/McCollum/Schroder so the last good G class is 2012 with 2 (Beal and Lillard) as compared to AD, Drummond, Parker(if he's a PF,) Noel, Mirotic, Embiid, Nurkic
Game changing G's aren't "easier" to find!
He could bust, everyone could.
No one is fool-proof... well expect for AD and Lebron

Dwight/LeBron both did it, why can't DeAndre?

Well he is 1 of the main reasons the Clippers are that good, you take him away and put him on the Lakers are the Clippers still that good?
I would say no if he leaves they wouldn't even have a C on the roster

Dennis is right, Deandre is not coming to us for less money, it would make no sense
Dwight is a horrible comparison CP.
Ska and I saw him leaving for Houston, it was predictable. No state taxes make up the difference in the extra year he gave up, plus he wasn't exactly playing for a talented team he enjoyed playing with....

The Clippers can't afford to do ANYTHING if/when they pay DeAndre. Meaning, they are who they are. CP3 getting older, DeAndre and Blake being really good, but still not enough come playoff time. ZERO bench. They will have limited movement.
Meanwhile, he can play in the exact same city, not have to move a thing, play with Randle, the #2 pick, Clarkson, whoever we get with Houston's pick LONG term, Kobe short term, and then knowing they will have HUGE amounts of money in just 12 months, with a legit shot at Durant.
DeAndre could parlay playing with an into his 30's Paul, Blake, and no bench/supporting cast, or have the foresight to say hey, I can play with these young cats for a year, and then maybe bring in Durant, (or whatever else they can buy with 25-40 million dollars)
Did LeBron not just leave a bunch of old guys, for a bunch of young guys? To go "home". DeAndre wouldn't have to GO, anywhere, he would just have to stay, but play with a much younger team with room to improve/grow along side him.
Not saying it's likely, from what I know, DeAndre doesn't even like our franchise, but given a chance to sit down, and be sales pitched, we could make it real interesting for him.

I see DeAndre going home to a TX team is he doesn't stay in LA.
I think we all agree on Towns but I'm opening up to Oakfor.
Just don't feel Russell is worth the 2nd pick.

Wiggins prolly not gonna play.
I'd be surprised it Clarkson played too... I anticipate Julius will play if cleared though. He needs some run.

“The biggest thing for me – the thing that I think most about – is that you can get into the gym whenever you want here,” Porzingis told Yahoo Sports over dinner recently. “They give you a card, or a key, and in the middle of the night, if you want to work out, you just go to the gym and get your work in – and I think that’s amazing.
“In Europe, you don’t have that option. You can’t get your work in on a Sunday, because nobody is there. I think that’s one of the coolest things. This year, I didn’t have a place to play. I’ve got to talk to the GM, to talk one of the people who work in the arena to open the door for me. People don’t want to do extra work at the arena.”

As Butler spends time in Los Angeles this summer, a stretch that’s included an overseas “Entourage” promotional jaunt with producer Mark Wahlberg, Butler’s intrigue with signing a potential Los Angeles Lakers offer sheet has increased, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

If he signs a one year max he'll get matched but he's opening himself to get to the lakers in 2016 for big money when Kobe is gone. At least that's what I'm seeing.
Ideally we max him. They match, Tobias waits and we get Tobias after losing Jimmy.
Then Kobes money comes off and get butler in 2016
Okafor
Randle
Harris
Butler
Clarkson
Westbrook is 2017
