I typically avoid opinion pieces nowadays, but when I saw the news of DeAndre Jordan being pursued by the Sixers it bothered me, maybe more than it should have. I have an issue with it, but not necessarily for the reasons you might initially think.
When news broke about the Sixers pursuing Jordan it puzzled me. Sure, Jordan is a NBA vet and he is what the Sixers have reportedly been in the market for: a big that can set screens and catch lobs. That, in theory, is true. However, Jordan is at the end of his career, and the case can be made that he should’ve been out of the NBA for two or three years already.
