DeAndre Jordan: I Considered Joining Knicks After Meeting
Defensive demon DeAndre Jordan, the Knicks’ top free-agent target at center, admitted Phil Jackson’s squad crept back into the race after their early July meeting in Los Angeles.
Sources told The Post the Knicks were barely considered by the Clippers’ 6-foot-11 active shot-blocker until the meeting. The Knicks put off signing consolation prize Robin Lopez until Jordan made his decision, though he later waffled on joining the Mavericks and returned to the Clippers.The Knicks finished with the bronze medal in the Jordan Sweepstakes.
“I had a great meeting and great presentation,’’ Jordan said after Tuesday’s US Olympic Team mini-camp. “Phil Jackson speaks for himself. Fish [Derek Fisher] did a great job.
