The L.A Clippers appear to be intent on stripping their cupboard of talents bare if it meant a bigger chance of winning the LeBron James sweepstakes in the summer. According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, the Clippers are willing to ship DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams before the trade deadline passes with the goal of making the current Cleveland Cavaliers superstar look their way in free agency.
The Clippers clearly believe they can make it onto LeBron James' free-agent short list come July and, according to league sources, will indeed move DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams before the Feb. 8 trade deadline if they can find workable deals to help them in that quest
The Clippers have earlier traded Blake Griffin to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, and a pair of future draft picks, but apparently, L.A. is far from done when it comes to re-configuring their roster.
Jordan is an impending free agent at the end of this season, but the Clippers might not be willing to give his asking price if they plan to woo the big man back to play for L.A, especially if they are truly considering the idea of luring James. Williams is also bound for free agency, but the Clippers could get a nice return if they trade him to a title contender.
On the season, DeAndre Jordan is averaging 11.9 points, 14.8 rebounds per game, while Lou Williams is playing his best season of his career with numbers of 23.5 points and 5.2 assists per contest.
