Here’s a fun scenario to mull over while you await free agency. According to Tim McMahon of ESPN Dallas, the Mavericks’ front office has internally discussed a scenario where they’d engage in sign-and-trade talks with the Los Angeles Clippers surrounding Tyson Chandler if Clippers center DeAndre Jordan decides to sign with the Mavericks in free agency.
A sign-and-trade swap of the centers, which has been mentioned in Mavs front-office offseason brainstorming sessions, would make a lot of sense for all of the involved parties.
Given the Clippers’ cap scenario, the hypothetical swap would be the easiest way for the franchise to remain in championship contention after losing their prized free agent center.
