The scales have finally tipped one way for DeAndre Jordan. For the weeks leading up to free agency to now. Even though he has met with many teams over the past couple of days. We all knew that DeAndre Jordan will either go to the Dallas Mavericks or the Los Angeles Clippers. And according to Marc J Spears of Yahoo! Sports, the needle is pointing to the state of Texas.

DeAndre Jordan has made a career out of being a beast rebounder, shot blocker and just a good overall defensive anchor. But when it comes to the offensive side, he needs help. He’s not one for posting up, for years he has been getting his points mainly of Chris Paul’s passes and lobs. Obviously JJ Barea isn’t CP3 so the Mavericks coaching staff will need to help Jordan form his own offense. See if you can give him a hook shot or something, not expecting a 15 foot jumper but something you know. And of course, free throw shooting, that is straight up garbage. He’s built many houses with those bricks, I don’t know how he doesn’t get community awards for all the houses he built!
