Jordan reacts after dunking against the Oklahoma City Thunder

If Capela is a nightmare matchup for most centers on his best nights, there's no center who can stop DeAndre Jordan from getting his share of the pie even on an average night. Jordan is currently on the way to post the best statistical season of his season with 12.3 points and 15.4 rebounds.

The fact that he's putting up these numbers without Chris Paul should be enough evidence for the rest of the league to try and nab him in free agency, should he opt out of the final year of his contract in order to net a final big payday.

The Clippers, despite being fringe players in the Western Conference playoff picture and shorn of Blake Griffin, are still sitting 5 wins above a .500 record in a large part due to the consistent two-way play of their 6'11", 265-pound center.

However, centers with little to no jump-shooting ability are a dying breed in this league, and unless the Clippers to choose to bank on him for the long term, Jordan may find it difficult to find a taker for his services in a league that is advancing towards small ball and 5-out offenses surely but surely. We think that he will opt in for his final year to stay with the Clippers.
