The Philadelphia 76ers needed a new backup big man after sending Andre Drummond to the Brooklyn Nets in a deal that brought James Harden to City of Brotherly Love. Without Drummond, the Sixers need someone to support Joel Embide.
Philadelphia used Paul Milsap as a backup for Embiid, but at this point the 16-year-old veteran lost a step, although he can still provide some shooting. At the same time, the Sixers still have to find an option and DeAndre Jordan may be the right person for them.
The Los Angeles Lakers have released Jordan, and the Sixers are already known to be chasing the Texas A&M veteran. Lakers coach Frank Vogel revealed on Tuesday that Jordan wants to go to the Sixers because of what he believes will be a greater opportunity.
After the Lakers defeated writer Jovan Buha, Jordan wanted Philadelphia all the time.

It will be interesting to see if this happens. It looks like the sign is on the wall for the Sixers to sign Jordan. The move could wait for Willie Cauley-Stein’s 10-day deal to expire. At this point, it looks like Jordan will be Sixer.
