DeAndre Jordan reportedly agreed to a four-year, $80 million deal with the Mavericks, per Yahoo Sports’ Marc J. As Berger wrote, “On one hand, there was Jordan’s relationship with Clippers All-Star Chris Paul, which sources told CBSSports.com, was demonstrably poor”. They can only say they plan to sign the players once the moratorium is lifted.
Jordan had reportedly grown tired of “Paul’s constant barking and petty gestures” during last season and was increasingly frustrated with his limited role on the Clippers’ offense, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein.
Even though Doc Rivers has denied it, there have been a number of rumors that Paul and Jordan just didn’t get along.
“Optics aside, the biggest issue for Jordan was that, despite the leaps and bounds he made to be named first team all-defense, the Clippers always treated him like the player he was when he arrived in the National Basteball Association, and never like the player he’d become”, Arnovitz added. Whether he lands in Los Angeles or elsewhere, STAT is best left off draft boards in standard fantasy leagues. The big man had built quite a nice career as one of the primary inhabitants of the Clippers’ “Lob City”, but reports indicate he was far from happy with the Clips, at least when it came to playing with Paul.
