Flying under the radar due to other big names in the free agency, the Los Angeles Clippers' DeAndre Jordan is certainly not short of suitors as he explores possible life outside of the Clippers.

The seven-year professional has spent his entire career with the Clippers since being drafted 35th overall in the draft.

Despite low expectations, Jordan has performed well and has been considered one of the top centers in the league, displaying excellent skills especially on the defensive end.

His freakish athleticism has made him a crowd favorite, especially when he demonstrates his excellent dunks and power moves under the basket. Free throws have been his constant negative, but his positives easily outweigh that. And now, a list of teams is trying to lure him out.

He is currently out of a contract after his deal expired last season. He is expected to make more money than the $11.4 million he did last year and teams are well aware of that fact.

As of this writing, it is said that the Dallas Mavericks are the front-runners to get Jordan if he does decide to move away from the Clippers.

The Mavs recently lost Tyson Chandler to the Phoenix Suns and they need a presence in the middle which is something that Jordan can give.

Meanwhile, he recently concluded his talks with the Clippers, as they showed their desire to keep the big man. They recently acquired Paul Pierce and are looking to come back stronger after another disappointing loss in the playoffs. As of now, this is the team that can give him the biggest chance of winning a title.

The New York Knicks reportedly also gave a great impression in their meeting with Jordan, citing Phil Jackson as a very engaging person during their talk. The Knicks are currently rebuilding and can really use Jordan as one of their cornerstones.

There are still many decisions left to be made but expect Jordan to make one soon. The question of where he will end up remains after all these speculations.
