On March 1, Beijing time, according to the latest report of Philadelphia celebrity Keith Pompey, the 76ers led the little Jordan scramble.
The Lakers have planned to lay off Jordan Jr. and free up a spot to sign Augustine. Last offseason, Jordan Jr. signed a $2.6 million a year veteran base salary contract with the Lakers, and he played 32 games, including 19 first, but faded out of the Lakers rotation.
After the news that Jordan Jr. would be cut by the Lakers, his name was immediately associated with the 76ers. Despite Jordan Jr.'s mediocre performance with the Lakers, the experienced big man has attracted a scramble, and the current 76ers are leading the race.
Earlier, in Harden's deal, the 76ers sent Drummond away, and they desperately needed to find a suitable replacement for Embiid. Millsap's height was limited, and Cowley-Stein signed a short 10-day contract against the Timberwolves, where he played only 4 minutes and 25 seconds.
If he can join the 76ers, Jordan Jr. will be reunited with Harden, Harris and Rivers. Jordan Jr. played for the Clippers, was a teammate with Harris, was coached by Rivers at the time, and worked with Harden at the Nets.
Jordan Jr., 33, has been named to the NBA's All-Team three times, rebounding twice and defensively twice. Played with Harden with the Nets last season, the two have had a successful cooperative experience, career, Jordan Jr. averaged 9.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, joining the 76ers, Jordan Jr. may be driven by Harden, another spring, if so, the Lakers are equivalent to sending god assists.
