Jordan, the NBA’s reigning rebound king, and LaMarcus Aldridge, an all-star four years running, figure as the two biggest free agent prizes.
Even this season, some criticized the Mavericks for waiting two days into free agency because of all the players agreeing so fast, but the Mavericks had other plans and they showed up. But coach Doc Rivers couldn’t persuade the Texas native to stick with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the franchise that drafted him seven years ago.
Jordan is coming off his best year in the National Basteball Association, averaging 11.5 points and 15 rebounds per game while leading the league in rebounding and field goal percentage, connecting on 71 percent of his attempts. In 46 games with the Mavericks, Rondo averaged 9.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.

The most attractive free agent center available at this point is Kosta Koufos, who is more than capable of filling in for Jordan over the next year, but will be far more expensive than the money the Clippers can desperately clear this summer.
Free agent center DeAndre Jordan agreed to a four-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks worth more than $80 million and is expected to get his wish of becoming a focal point on offense.
