2021 NBA Free Agency: 3 teams that should pursue Reggie Jackson during the upcoming off-season

#2 LA Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers v Utah Jazz - Game Five

A future in LA could be extremely complicated for Reggie Jackson and the Clippers, but not impossible. As mentioned, they have limited cap space, Very limited in fact. Even if Kawhi Leonard chooses not to re-sign, they would still be around next year's $112.4m cap.

Currently, Jackson's Early Bird Rights start at about $10m, a sum the LA Clippers would have been happy to pay a matter of weeks ago. However, with every made three-pointer, the 31-year-old's price tag jumped and is now at a level the franchise cannot afford. That being said, it is a buyer's market when it comes to point guards this summer with several high-brow options available to teams interested.

The LA Clippers will have to rely on other sides not offering Reggie Jackson a higher offer or already having a point guard in place to take the reigns next year.

#1 Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers v Atlanta Hawks - Game Six

Another team who could find it difficult to sign Reggie Jackson but whom he would definitely benefit is the Philadelphia 76ers. As things stand, the Sixers are not necessarily in the market for another point guard with Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, Shake Milton and George Hill all presently under contract.

However, one or more of these players could be on their way out of Philadelphia with rumors swirling around Simmons' future. That makes Jackson an intriguing option either as the second option in the backcourt alongside a star or as a backup off the bench. Akin to the LA Clippers, Jackson would be playing on a contending team that has an MVP-worthy center in Joel Embiid.

Reggie Jackson's playoff run with the Clippers was everything the 76ers wanted from their backcourt, reliable, consistent scoring and defensive nous. Doc Rivers struggled to get both at the same time from his stars.
