But Deandre Jordon isn't an unrestricted free agent - he isn't listed as one. He falls under the Gilbert Arenas rule I believe, just like Fields does. I believe a team can offer him only up to the MLE or something like that, but his team can do it for longer - I forget how it works.
No way do the Clippers not match on him. If you think they are worried about Kaman, think again, he only has one more year left. Their team salary will be quite low after both Kaman and then Baron is off. It will be 50 million next year and drops all the way to 19 million the year after. They only have next year to worry about with salaries and would surely dump other players in order to retain Jordon if money is an issue.

He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Blazers then traded to the Pacers. He seems like an MDA type player in that he is a very athletic 6'10" player.

He's not a starter, but he'd be good fit coming off the bench. He's a good passer and decentthree point shooter and rebounder. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

^I would have to agree. McRoberts looks like the proto-typical SSOL C/PF. Kid who can jump and run and hit outside shots with a decent handle.

Mayo, and passing on Melo. i watched practically their entire season last year... i think i've seen enough of him to formulate an educated opinion... every player in the NBA can look great over a short stretch... Turiaf looked like a monster last night, do u think that's gonna continue over the long haul?... Deandre Jordan is a very athletically gifted big with great finishing ability around the rim & rebounding skills & has some good upside, but he's also as yet very raw, has no polished offensive game & his defensive recognition is nowhere near where it should be to consider him a viable starting option on a championship contender IMO... feel free to disagree but trust me i wouldn't even comment on this kid if i haven't seen him play enough to formulate my opinions.

Youre right hes raw offensively yet also leading the NBA in FG%. Just like we saw with turiaf last night--put a player who can finish in the position to finish and they will score double digits easy. Deandre Jordan on this team would average 13-13-4 65% is that a starting quality C? RIP Crushalot😞
