The Dallas Mavericks have been heavily linked to DeAndre Jordan in recent days, and according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, they have made Jordan their primary target once free agency begins Sunday.
Jordan will likely command over $20 million in free agency if he decides to opt out of his $24 million option to become a free agent. If he decides to opt in, it would likely be in order to facilitate a trade to the Mavericks, which could help Dallas retain the majority of their cap room.
A trade with the Clippers would almost certainly include Wesley Matthews, which would be a major source of cap relief for a team looking to take on well north of $20 million in salary for their new center.
