The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly one of the teams “kicking the tires hard” on a potential trade for L.A. Clippers big man DeAndre Jordan, according to Bleacher Report’s Ken Berger.

Among the teams “kicking the tires hard” on Jordan's availability in a trade, according to a Western Conference executive, are the Milwaukee Bucks. Having added Bledsoe to a rising young core that includes Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker and reigning Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, the Bucks are an intriguing potential destination. According to the Western Conference executive, Milwaukee is intent on adding size and rebounding at the trade deadline.

The Bucks had already been linked with Jordan previously, with the Clippers reportedly interested in some combination of John Henson, Malcolm Brogdon, and Khris Middleton to be included in any trade package for the All-Star big man.

But as Berger points out, a new and significant development in this trade saga is that Jordan recently signed with agent Jeff Schwartz, who has a close relationship with Bucks head coach Jason Kidd.

A couple of teams have said that the connection between Kidd, Schwartz, and Jordan gives the Bucks “a distinct advantage” if Jordan does get moved this season.
