NBA 2017-18: 5 players who could be traded before the mid-season trade deadline

#1 DeAndre Jordan

DeAndre Jordan

DeAndre Jordan is an expiring deal worth 22.6 million dollars, which the LA Clippers need to ship because that number jumps to 24.1 million dollars for next year. The team would already close to $53 million next year to Blake Griffin and Danilo Gallinari and given that they are undergoing a mini-rebuild, it would be preferable to move on from Jordan.

Cleveland is a good place to start making calls.

Although Jordan is in his 10th year in the league, he is still quite effective on both ends of the floor. He ranks second in the league in FG% with 64.8%, second only to Clint Capela and on the defensive end of the floor, he's grabbing 14.8 rebounds a game (second in the league (14.9 is best) and 0.2 short of a career-high).
