ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports about recent trade buzz as we get closer to Feb. 8's trade deadline.

“It is pretty slow so far. Nobody seems desperate to get into the playoffs. The tankers are sellers, but asking prices are too high,” an NBA GM said about the current trade market. The biggest name widely known to be available is Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan.

There is interest in Jordan, but the Clippers have very low interest in the offers they have received. Wojnarowski says:

Jordan, 29, can decline the player option on his $24.1 million contract for 2018-19, and most teams believe the All-Star center will be willing to re-sign with the team that trades for him — as long as they're willing to pay him his long-term extension. So far, serious offers to Los Angeles have been slow to come. “He's a difference-maker, but I'm not sure anyone thinks he puts you over the top,” one GM said.

He adds that given how very few top teams consistently run their offense through their center, their willingness to give up the type of assets the Clippers are asking for is not too high. Los Angeles is not in a hurry to trade Jordan, as they could re-sign him this summer and trade him later in case there was a need to do so. Also, the Clippers will hardly get multiple valuable assets — draft picks, mainly — in return. Apparently, the Nets trade in 2013 in which they lost multiple first-round picks has made teams even more reluctant when it comes to trading with draft picks.

One team who has shown interest in Jordan are the Milwaukee Bucks. They are looking for help at the center position, but will hardly be able to give the Clippers what they want in exchange for Jordan. The Cleveland Cavaliers are another team strongly related to the Jordan trade chatter. Whether Jordan will be traded or not remains to be seen. This appears to be a much more quiet trade deadline than in previous years.
