Jordan is about to reach a buyout agreement with the Nets. If he leaves Brooklyn, the former All-Star center is likely to choose to join the Lakers. Jordan joined the Nets as a free agent two seasons ago. He also came to Brooklyn with Durant and Irving. Little Jordan and Durant and Owen had intimate personal relationships, and it was Durant's call that made him hug each other. However, because of injuries in recent years, Jordan has lost the ability of the center of the past, and his role has gradually been marginalized. In the playoffs, he was abandoned by Nash .
The Nets acquired James Harden through a trade last season, forming the Big Three with super offensive firepower. But they lost to the Bucks in the playoffs and failed to reach the finals. Jordan has been unable to become the team's inside barrier, blocking the impact of Antetokounmpo . The Nets have to re-select an inside tower to help the team guard the inside. Jordan's mobility and pie-eating ability are not as good as before. After the team already has Griffin and Nicholas, he became the third inside line. Moreover, Jordan's salary is too high, layoffs him can also introduce a veteran.
The Nets had such an excellent young center as Garrett Allen, and he also competed with Jordan for the starting lineup. But there are good brothers Durant and Irving on the platform, Allen was squeezed out of the starting line by Jr. Jordan and traded to other teams. However, with the arrival of Harden, the relationship between Durant and Jordan gradually estranged. At the beginning, they agreed to play brother basketball together. When Jordan's strength declined, he could only be ruthlessly abandoned. The new Big Three of the Nets will continue to compete for the championship, and Jordan is destined to just pass by in a hurry.
The Nets also took a fancy to another player Love . They waited for Love to be bought out and signed him.Little Jordan will be replaced by Love. After being given up by the Nets, Jordan is likely to join the Lakers. Jordan is still capable. He averaged 7.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last season. He is still very good as an inside substitute. If Durant doesn't cover him, brother basketball will end here.
