DeAndre Jordan likely to move in with the Lakers

When DeAndre Jordan clears waivers, the Lakers will reportedly sign him. The Lakers are bringing DeAndre Jordan back to Los Angeles after he parted ways with the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers' next move appears to be a return to rim-protecting, athletic centers as they seek to repeat the recipe that helped them win the 2019-20 title. The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to sign DeAndre Jordan to a one-year, $2.6 million contract.

Jordan's signing suggests a return to the playing style that helped the Lakers win the championship last year. Two seasons ago, the Lakers were known as a team that dunked everything near the basket. After a year of Marc Gasol playing a lot of centers, the Lakers appear ready to get back to winning ways, which led to the signing of Dwight Howard and this move for Jordan.
