Rudy Gobert last night:
✅ 27 PTS
✅ 17 REB
✅ 12-14 FG
It’s the 53rd time Gobert has recorded a double-double while shooting at least 85% from the field.
The only player in NBA history with more such games is DeAndre Jordan (73). pic.twitter.com/Rb9Jgs6WQv – 9:21 AM

According to Frank Vogel, in addition to the skillsets needed from D.J. Augustin, DeAndre Jordan actually thought he could get more playing time on a different team, so he wanted to be released. AK – 8:20 PM

DeAndre Jordan still being chased by good teams tells us all that even good teams may not pay attention to how players on other teams perform. – 2:44 PM

Here’s some content! First off, don’t be fooled by the idea that DeAndre Jordan will come in and be a defensive plus – if that was the case, the Lakers would have kept him.

Lakers cost themselves roughly $5M in tax payments and a small trade exception by not just sending cash to another team to take DeAndre Jordan at the trade deadline. Hey, it’s the Buss’s money, but that’s some FO malpractice right there. – 8:06 PM

DeAndre Jordan is so bad that a thin Lakers team mired in a tailspin waives him and yet we’re having conversations about how Jordan is a valuable target for legit championship contenders.
What are we doing here? Why is this a thing? Can we make it stop? – 8:02 PM

DeAndre Jordan is washed and shouldn’t be in a playoff rotation. I’d play Willie Cauley-Stein or Paul Reed over him at this point. – 7:49 PM

The 76ers have been in the market for a backup center and will be aggressive in pursuit of DeAndre Jordan — either placing a waiver claim or working to sign him as a free agent should he clear waivers, sources tell ESPN. – 7:47 PM

Does D.J. Augustin address more pressing needs than DeAndre Jordan? Absolutely. But is he as good at throwing passes into the third row? Only time will tell. AK – 7:46 PM

More on this storyline
Mike Trudell: The Lakers announced the signing of DJ Augustin, a veteran point guard who was drafted in 2008 (No. 9 overall). They also signed 24-year-old Wenyen Gabriel to a two-way contract. In related moves, they waived DeAndre Jordan and Sekou Doumbouya (two-way). -via Twitter @LakersReporter / March 1, 2022
Keith Smith: Last day for NBA teams to waive players and have them retain playoff eligibility. We’ve already seen/had reported a handful of players waived/to be waived (some took buyouts): Goran Dragic DeAndre Jordan Tomas Satoransky Tristan Thompson Let’s see if anyone else joins them. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / March 1, 2022
The Philadelphia 76ers are emerging as front-runners to acquire center DeAndre Jordan either as a waiver claim or a free-agent signing, sources told ESPN on Monday. The Sixers have been aggressive in pursuit of a backup center since including Andre Drummond in the trade-deadline deal to acquire James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets, sources said, and the Lakers’ waiving of Jordan on Monday moves the Sixers closer to filling that roster hole. -via ESPN / March 1, 2022
