After the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers found themselves in a very contentious battle, both on and off the court, rumbles of more DeAndre Jordan trade rumors flew under the radar. Dating back to last season, there were rumors of Jordan being the centerpiece of a trade that would've sent him to Houston for Clint Capella and some draft picks. However, due to "semi-serious fractions" on the deal, it never came to fruition despite Jordan's noted approval. Fast forward to this season and Jordan is still hoping for a trade to the Rockets now more than before to reunite with former Clipper Chris Paul.
ESPN's Stephen A. Smith stated on First Take,
“Everybody (on the Clippers) didn’t hate playing with [Chris Paul]. You got Luc Mbah a Moute that is with the Houston Rockets. He was with the Clippers last year. You got DeAndre Jordan who wants to get traded to the Houston Rockets. I’m telling you what I heard. There are guys who get along with… and obviously, everybody was better for playing with Chris.”
