DALLAS, April 30 (UPI) -- The NBA's leading rebounder "has made it clear through back channels that he will be extremely interested in coming to Dallas," according to ESPN Dallas.

Jordan led the NBA with a 71 percent field goal percentage and 15 rebounds per game.

Jordan has led the NBA in field goal percentage the last three seasons and in rebounds the last two seasons.
According to ESPN Dallas' Tim MacMahon, the signing of Jordan would force the Mavs to ditch 32-year-old Tyson Chandler.
The Mavericks ended its season Tuesday with a 103-94 loss to the Houston Rockets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Jordan made $10,532,977 in 2012, $10,986,550 in 2013, and $11,440,123 this season. He is an unrestricted free agent in 2015.
Jordan had 21 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in Tuesday's Game 5 loss, but was just 7-of-16 at the free throw line. Jordan shot an abysmal 39 percent from the free throw line this season.
For his career Jordan is shooting 41 percent from the free throw line, worse than Shaquille O'Neal's career mark of 52 percent.
