After 10 years with the Los Angeles Clippers, could DeAndre Jordan be moving on? The last member of the “Lob City” crew may be out of L.A. after he opted out of his player option worth $24.1 million, going into the summer a free man. The now unrestricted free agent can start negotiating deals with other teams, with the Dallas Mavericks a strong contender to land his services.
Of course, the Mavs were the bride left at the altar in 2015, when DJ went back on his word and resigned with the Clippers. There was a 4-year, $80 million dollar deal on the table already and teammates like Chris Paul, and coach Doc Rivers locked him in a room and convinced him to stay with the squad.
With news of this coming, the Clips moved in for backup center Marcin Gortat, when they traded Austin Rivers to the Washington Wizards in exchange.
In his decade-long tenure with Los Angeles, DeAndre has averaged a total of 9.4 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.

The Mavs should pull a fast one and take back any contract DJ is about to sign at the very moment he’s about to sign it. You know, as revenge for last time.
