Not even the time to analyze the Los Angeles Lakers decision to cut DeAndre Jordan that immediately the veteran center found a new team. According to ESPN, the veteran would already be very close to the Philadelphia 76ers, the most aggressive team to immediately put him under contract and make him Joel Embiid’s reserve. A will so strong that lead the Sixers to also consider the option of “reclaiming” Jordan’s contract from the cut list instead of waiting for him to become a free agent, just to avoid someone “blowing” him before the 48 hours that must pass after a player is cut. The cost would be an additional 2.3 million dollars on the luxury tax already set at 13.8 millionaccording to what was written by Bobby Marks of ESPN, but evidently the Sixers do not want to miss the opportunity to take the 33-year-old back from two bad seasons between Brooklyn and Los Angeles (with the Lakers replacing him with DJ Augustin). In Philadelphia he would not only meet Doc Rivershis coach in his best years at the LA Clippers, but also James Harden with whom he shared the locker room at the Nets last season. Jordan’s role, even more than on the pitch, will therefore be presence in the Sixers locker room, providing experience ahead of a playoff ride that the Sixers hope will last as long as possible.
