DeAndre Jordan is another big man expected to be hot in the free agent market and multiple teams are expected to be knocking at his door soon.
Aside from the Clippers, there are three other teams said to be interested in the services of the slotman. That list includes the neighboring Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers are aggressively looking to hone up their lineup for the coming season. Though the team has been linked to Kevin Love and LaMarcus Aldridge as well, hooking Jordan could finally address their long-standing problem in the middle.
The case practically holds true for the Mavericks as well. Jordan could be a good fit and get the chance to see how he fares without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, having Dirk Nowitzki by the side and giving him ample room to operate inside. Like the Lakers, the Mavs are also in play for Aldridge.
The Milwaukee Bucks have been long tied with recruiting a big man and Jordan is the third player that has been mentioned. Prior to Jordan, the Bucks are also seriously eying Tyson Chandler and Brook Lopez. Assuming that they fail to land one of the two, Jordan could be that other tower that Jason Kidd is planning to build.
The Clippers can of course offer Jordan the most money when NBA Free Agency kicks off though it depends on what he is really looking for. Jordan could settle for a 2-year deal for now and wait until 2016 where the team salary cap may be increased.
Jordan is reportedly looking to move past the shadows of Griffin and Paul to be a bonafide All-Star and moving out could be his ticket to such. Though he may need to improve on his free throws to avoid the humiliating sight of seeing him fall prey to the dreaded Hack-a-Jordan technique some teams were employing, Jordan has proven that other facets of his game can benefit any team that would trust him.
