If the Mavs could trade Wes Mathews for DeAndre Jordan, which could be legally executed this salary cap year if Jordan first exercises his $24.1M player option, they’d get their center while reducing their 2018-19 cap room by just $5.5M. https://t.co/9ToAq5Zv6L

Nahmad reported further information.
One issue to work around in potential DeAndre Jordan trade rumors: He has a 15% trade bonus. If he exercises his $24.1M player option for next season as a prelude to a trade this salary cap year, it’d pay out $3.6M, allocated $1.8M to 2017-18 and 2018-19. He could waive it.

There is a growing sense even that if Jordan opts into his deal he will be traded before the deal expires. As more information surfaces on the Clippers and their offseason news we will keep you up to date.
