Trade rumors can only grow as the NBA trade deadline approaches.
One of the rumors circling around is how DeAndre Jordan may be wearing a Milwaukee Bucks jersey faster than we realize.
Marc Stein said on the Dunc'd On Basketball Podcast that the Bucks are 100 percent interested in Jordan and they are probably just as interested in him as anyone.
All this talk about Jordan being moved stems from the injury woes the L.A. Clippers have been facing this season. Blake Griffin and Milos Teodosic have missed some time. Patrick Beverley and Danilo Gallinari continue to miss time.
The injury bug sent the Clippers near the bottom of the Western Conference, and teams have started speculating that Jordan, who has a player option for the 2018-19 season, may be moved so the team can at least get something in return.
Jordan is currently averaging 11.8 points, 14.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in the season.
The Bucks are also improving their roster. They traded Greg Monroe and two 2018 draft picks for Eric Bledsoe. They are now looking for a serviceable center to give them more of an inside presence.
If you connect the dots, it's easy to think that the Bucks are really interested in someone like DeAndre Jordan and what he brings on the court.
You can just imagine the damage that can be done with a roster that includes Giannis Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan, and other decent players like Khris Middleton and Malcolm Brogdon. Let's not forget about the possible return of Jabari Parker.
With the Bucks looking like they are in win-now mode, it's easy to believe that their interest in Jordan is not merely a rumor.
