i watched a little bit of highlights of okafor in summer league he looks pretty good scoring on nice turn around js and making good cuts through the lane taking pases and making a jam i think the lakers are probably going to regret that one brohans take that to the bank

Russel has more superstar potential, IMO. Less than Towns, of course, but a lot.

Everyone knows Okafor can be a dominant scorer in the post, especially against non-NBA level competition. That's why he's a top 3 pick. But I doubt we'll see anything out of summer league that will give us any indication that he can overcome his sizable deficiencies (poor help defense, limited range, and awful FT shooting) at the NBA level and justify being taken over the D'Angelo Russel we saw at Ohio State.

Of course, Russel could struggle badly in summer league, which would change things.

Gunz goes for 12/10 in summer league.

Clippers trying to convince DeAndre Jordan to back out of his verbal agreement with Dallas and stay in LA

Either Cuban or Doc is gonna end up looking incredibly stupid. Can't lose, really.

The East was so bad last year that you can make a legitimate argument that pretty much any eastern conference team is a playoff contender except the 76ers.

I count about four teams in each conference I'd feel pretty safe eliminating from next year's playoff race right now. Maybe I'd be wrong about one of them but I'd put their chances at less than 10% or so. Philly, NY, Detroit, Charlotte, Sacramento, Lakers, Minnesota, Denver

How dare you...

It's all for the best. Next year you'll grab the PF you need in the mid/late lottery and be poised to take over the West in 2016-2017.

To start over Towns?

I'm figuring he's more of a stretch 5. Either way you'll need a little more frontcourt depth to assure that Wiz-Wolves 2018 Finals.

And what does Doc have to lose by not trying, and why would it make him look stupid for a hail mary not working out? The whole waiting period is what's incredibly stupid and if Jordan does go back on his word we'll likely see the process fixed.

Why the hell would Jordan want this story out there if he wasn't going back to the Clippers? Does he really want them to beg this much?
