DeAndre Jordan is especially close with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin; and Doc Rivers has been a big supporter of Jordan since he took over as head coach, but all that doesn’t mean Jordan won’t fly the coop when free agency rolls around.
Jordan wants to look around and enjoy the process of teams vying for his services.
That’s what he told Sam Amick of the USA Today in a podcast. (h/t ProBasketballTalk)
“I mean I’ve obviously been here seven years, and the past two have been great,” he said. “Doc (Clippers coach Doc Rivers) has been my biggest supporter and the best coach I’ve ever had. The team is great. The guys are great. We have great camaraderie. But the free agency process is definitely going to be a fun one.”
Jordan is averaging 11.3 ppg, 14.7 rpg and 2.2 blkpg so there will definitely be teams knocking on his door. Also with the shortage of good big men, the team (likely the Clippers) will have to overpay for him.
