According to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com the Los Angeles Clippers will pursue a sign and trade involving Tyson Chandler if DeAndre Jordan leaves for the Dallas Mavericks.

Clippers still “hopeful” that they’ll keep DeAndre Jordan, but I’m told if he were to leave for Mavs, they’ll try to S&T for Tyson Chandler

If the Clippers do lose Jordan it would be a huge loss on the defensive end of the ball and then will need to replace him ASAP. If Jordan goes to Dallas the Mavericks will not have a need for Chandler and the Clippers won’t have the available money in the cap to sign him so a sign and trade makes sense for both side.

Shelburne stressed that at this point in time the Clippers are still optimistic that they will be able to re-sign their star big man.

But again, Clippers are still “hopeful” they’ll keep DeAndre.
