Bucks Make Concerted Push For DeAndre Jordan

The Bucks are making a concerted push to acquire
DeAndre Jordan from the Clippers,
Gery Woelfel of the Woelfel’s Press Box writes.
According to the scribe’s sources, the Clips seek a partial or even full compliment of
John Henson,
Malcolm Brogdon and
Khris Middleton in return.
Considering that trading Jordan would at least appear to be the opening salvo in a rebuild, it makes sense that the squad would pursue the reigning Rookie of the Year and, if possible, shed salary while they were at it.
While the Bucks had long sought to organically develop their young talent, they’ve made a concerted effort to win-now, as evidenced by their acquisition of
Eric Bledsoe from the Suns earlier in the season.
Slotting Jordan into the starting lineup ahead of (or in place of) Henson would give the team an imposing starting five as they continue on their quest to usurp the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.
In addition to the Bucks, Woelfel writes, the Raptors, Wizards and Timberwolves are said to have shown the most interest in Jordan.
I'd take this deal in a heartbeat.
nah man, new job + death in the fam, haven't really had the time like I used to.
