L.A. Clippers forward Blake Griffin has made this feelings known about where he wants to see DeAndre Jordan play after he finishes with free agency this summer.
Griffin, who has played his entire career with Jordan, wants the Clippers star center to retire in the blue, red and white, per Mark J. Spears of The Undefeated.
This is his second time being in this situation. Before that he was a restricted free agent. Each time I’ve told him the same thing. He knows and he’ll know the exact same thing about how I feel about him and how much we want him to be here, to be a Clipper for life.
Griffin and Jordan are close friends on the team, so it's no surprise that Griffin wants him to end his career as a Clipper. Griffin also signed a max contract over the summer.
However, if Jordan decides to make another choice this summer, Griffin will be OK with it, per Spears.
But at the end of the day, he has a family and he has to make the decision that is best for him. Whatever that is, I’ll support him. He’ll know how much we want him here.
Jordan already almost left the Clippers once. He had committed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks in the summer of 2015, but several of his Clippers teammates went to his home in Texas, barricaded the door and convinced him to re-sign with the Clippers. He did, much to the chagrin of Mark Cuban and the Mavericks.
There's no telling what Jordan will do this time around, but at least he knows where Griffin stands.
