The Bucks acquire DeAndre Jordan

The Milwaukee Bucks have been in the market for a starting center for what feels like the better part of the last two years. This is the time when they finally land their man, DeAndre Jordan.

I expect the Bucks to do their due diligence for others like Robin Lopez and Hassan Whiteside, but considering talent and price, I believe that the best bargain on the open market is Jordan – Lopez could likely be the most cost effective move, but doesn’t pose the ceiling that Jordan could give them.

Whiteside will be too expensive, and I simply don’t believe the Miami Heat will deal him.
