DeAndre Jordan

[sefant77]

In the unlikely event that DeAndre Jordan leaves the Clippers, then it's a near-certainty that Tyson will step in as his replacement.

Funny to see that pretty much every Clippers fan expect that the worst case is a S&T with Chandler ignoring the fact that the Mavs have nothing to gain from it except doing Tyson a favor but helping a potential playoff opponent...

There are scenarios where SnT could make sense I believe.

S&T is just straight up DJ-Tyson possible. You cant pack Tyson and Felton together in this S&T. The Clippers also dont have a TE

The only way we are doing this is when the Clippers find a way (TE, another three-team trade) to take Felton too. Or give us Redick for Felton...

Just as a favor for Tyson alone? Not happening

I agree with this - the Mavs won't just gift the Clippers TY out of the goodness in their hearts. However, in the event that Jordan picks Dallas, I think TY represents the only plausible way the Clippers don't fall off, so I feel like they'll be motivated to make it worthwhile for everyone.

If DeAndre Jordan does choose Dallas, Mavericks willing to sign and trade Chandler to make it work.

Because Dallas has a lot of respect for Tyson and would help him out, if they can get Jordan

Take it for what it's worth, but I just don't see the Mavs turning down TC if that is where he wants to be.

I dont like it because its an playoff opponent. Getting eliminated by the Clippers with Tyson would make them look pretty stupid.

Its not for the respect for Tyson, i think they made an agreement with Tyson. Tyson doesnt search other teams (Lakers) or signs somewhere else before Jordans decision. If Jordan comes, they do the S&T...if Jordan stays they re-sign Chandler.

win-win. Tyson knows he will play for Clippers or Mavs on a nice contract and Mavs dont have to fear to lose Jordan AND Tyson.

Saw Fish still tweeting about the possibility of Tyson + Felton package in a S&T. Does he know something we don't, or the other way around...?

Thought you might be interested to know this isn't true. Tonight, I've had it confirmed by both David Lord and Larry Coon that combining players in a S&T is legal. Any info to the contrary is popular myth.

I wouldn't say that at all. The Mavs are obviously DESPERATE to rid themselves of the Raymond Felton money, and offering TY to LAC might be the best way to do that.

According to DLord, there are other ways in which a SNT scenario could benefit the Mavs financially, too, even with an under the cap approach, which seems to be the most likely, imo.

If Jordan picks Dallas, I think a TY/Felton SNT is pretty likely.
