If DeAndre Jordan is what you’re left with late in free agency and you need a center, sure. I can understand that.
72 seconds into free agency and that is your guy? I don’t follow that thinking even if it’s a minimum deal. Wait and see who else is out there. – 6:04 PM

Never forget: #Nets signed an over-the-hill DeAndre Jordan to a four-year, $40 million deal before benching and trading Jarrett Allen to convince Durant and Irving to sign in Brooklyn. This team scuttled its own rebuilding plan for a Durant/Irving combo and got NOTHING. – 3:22 PM

Call me crazy, but the Nets’ culture went down the toilet the minute they moved DeAndre Jordan. AK – 3:03 PM

If the Pistons don’t pick up the options on Noel and Burks next summer, they’ll have those two, CoJo, Diallo, and the dead money of DeAndre Jordan coming off the books. That’s, roughly, $35-ish million (assuming none are retained), making them big players again in free agency. – 10:25 PM

More on this storyline
All-Star forward Khris Middleton and center Brook Lopez appeared Friday on “Jimmy Kimmel Live: NBA Finals Game Night,” one of ABC’s pregame shows ahead of Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors. Middleton played in a game of “College Knowledge,” where he was asked to answer trivia questions alongside fellow Texas A&M; attendee Deandre Jordan. The pair faced off against former University of Kentucky players Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Malik Monk. -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / June 11, 2022
Austin Krell: Doc on the decision to go with Paul Reed over DeAndre Jordan off the bench: “It wasn’t much of a decision for us. Paul basically played the same role that he played in the first two games and that’s where we liked him, coming off the bench and matching him up in those minutes.” -via Twitter @NBAKrell / May 7, 2022
John Clark: “DeAndre Jordan, as much as I love him, a dear friend, at this point, I don’t think should be starting in a playoff game. Start Paul Reed and at times go small” – @jj_redick on ESPN @FirstTake -via Twitter / May 3, 2022
