If DeAndre Jordan is "the man" on your team... you're probably battling the Sixers for the 1st pick.

Seems like you would be more of "the man" with $109mil in your account over $80mil.

Tweet from Woj
Clippers could have $30M-plus in salary cap space next summer -- and become a real threat for Kevin Durant.

85% of old Durant is still probably a top 5 player

whether he can remain healthy is certainly a fair question

as for Drummond... he is going to be a monster, regardless of who he's with. he's 21. he's younger than Kaminsky, to put that into perspective. it takes bigs a while, he is already awesome besides FT%, if he is putting in the work he'll be in contention this offseason and takes that next step he could have a chance to start on the all star team.

at this point? probably not that much different but Drummond is more offensively polished. but Drummond is 5 years younger than Jordan.

Jordan at 21 was barely getting on the court and was totally clueless. up until 2 years ago he was considered a bit of a waste who could get a couple blocks and not much else. now he's a capable rebounder who benefited from some growth and alot of CP3. his projection path is much closer to Tyson Chandler who was similar to DJ in his early Chicago days and then showed some growth with CP3 and plateaued since

Drummond is already a capable big, which is really rare at his age. he is on the Demarcus Cousins type path and imo has more upside than Cousins cause he's a better athlete. this year would be the type of year we'd expect to see Drummond get closer to 18-20 ppg and 12-15 rpg

I didn't realize that Drummond this season took nearly twice as many shots per game as DeAndre's career high.

Jordan shot 71% from the field this season and took a career high 6.5 shots per game, which basically means what we all know, he useless trying to create his own shot. 92% of his shots are from 3 feet and in, compared to 68% for Drummond.
