Question: Would Cleveland entertain DeAndre Jordan for the Nets pick and Tristan Thompson?

Joe Vardon: DeAndre Jordan’s numbers are down this season. He’s averaging 10.4 points and shooting .664 from the field (he only shoots twos). Even his blocks — 1.2 per game — are down from the 1.7 he averaged a year ago. Also, Jordan, 29, has a $24.1 million player’s option in his contract for next season. So, he could essentially be a rental. That said, you’re right, he’d thrive playing alongside LeBron James and Isaiah Thomas. Tristan Thompson was great against the Warriors in the Finals two seasons ago, and struggled mightily last year. A league source believes this move, Jordan for Thompson, is one the Cavs would consider. How the Brooklyn pick figured in remains to be seen (Cleveland also has its own No. 1 pick), but if the Cavs felt Jordan was the only piece missing for them to take down the Warriors they’d have to consider this.

Cavs seem desperate enough to do something like this. Thompson is highly overrated. Cashing in the pick on Deandre Jordan isn’t getting them anywhere

Agree. Jordan doesn't move the needle for them vs GSWarriors. Wastes Cavs' rebuilding pieces when Lebron inevitably leaves.

This actually seems perfect for the Cavs from the defensive side with I.T coming.. A good rim Protector is what they are going to  need..

Tristan is uselss for the Cavs at this point. They never should have resigned him.

Considering Thompson’s and Jordan’s salaries don’t even match enough, probably not.

I call that an overpay for Jordan.

If Clips do this I wonder how long it will be before they move Blake Griffin. Total blow up and tank.

Cleveland.com guy claims one source said they might consider it.

So...no.

They don't need to trade anybody to tank. They have Doc.
