Entering 2018 NBA free agency in the prime of his career, let’s examine the most likely landing spots for DeAndre Jordan.
One of the most dominant defensive big men in the NBA has the option to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, which ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski reports is exactly what he will do.
DeAndre Jordan is by no means an offensive juggernaut, though he does have an NBA-record career field goal percentage of 67.3 percent. Jordan overcomes his inefficient offense with defensive intensity and rebounding.
He was NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2015, and led the league in rebounding two years in a row from 2013-15. One of the more reliable players in the NBA, he played all 82 games three straight seasons, and owns the Los Angeles Clippers’ record for consecutive games played with 322.
Jordan had a player option on the final year of his contract. He could’ve opted in and made $24.1 million next season, but he decided to become an unrestricted free agent, giving him a plethora of teams to choose from.
