The Clippers have offered DeAndre Jordan a five-year, $40 million offer, according to sources.
Jordan, a restricted free agent, may still sign an offer sheet with a higher dollar amount that forces the Clippers to match.

This is a reminder of what happens to the Knicks when they have to face an above average center.
Paul is an absolute non-likelihood. Look at the offers that are surfacing for him.
We can afford $9M/year, we can't afford to retread our own misplaced footsteps for another season.
I, for one, couldn't handle another season of waiting for the next. We have 2 stars, we need a center, we have Billups tutelage for Shumpert and Douglas.
When considering our playoff matchup threats: Boston, Orlando, Miami, Chicago, what we need is a big that'll add that interior deterrence when facing the likes of Wade, Rondo, James, Rose and their far more serviceable big men: Noah, Anthony, Garnett, Boozer and so forth.
Jordan, as some of you may know, is not a defensive stopper in any prototypical sense, but he has literally lightyears of potential.
Get a big man coach. Just get a new coach for that matter.
Get a post game.
Get Jordan.
☆ There seems to be some form of misconception that we need to emulate the blueprint of Miami. It's nonsense to me. The interior damage we could do with Melo, STAT and Jordan would be a veritable blitzkrieg. Sure, we'd have to adopt a system that would harbor it, that's clear.
General opinion on this opinion of mine?
I ask that you put CP3 aside when considering. This is not a thread about him.
* Waits for the Paul faithful to fire up their disdain. The second coming is more likely, IMO. Not that I don't want CP3 on this team.
