The Los Angeles Clippers seemingly are entering a transition phase for the franchise. According to these Clippers rumors, may we see DeAndre Jordan out of LA?

We already took a look at Clippers rumors regarding Doc Rivers, and where he may end up next season. Should the Clippers fail to bring back Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, they may also seek to send away their head coach. However, on the flip side, the team could attempt to make room for both Paul and Griffin by dishing away DeAndre Jordan.

While the Clippers first motives may be to hold on to Jordan to maintain their big three with Paul and Griffin, but they may not have the space to do so. With DeAndre Jordan to take up around $23 million in cap space next season, they may not be able to afford both Paul and Griffin. Blake Griffin especially, who made $20 million last year, may look for that coveted pay raise.

One promising thing for the franchise is. however, that they hold bird rights for both Griffin and Paul, which could make this process easier. To help their future, they may still deal Jordan as he only has one-year left on his contract. To avoid another Dallas Mavericks fiasco, the team may look to exchange one year of Jordan for talent elsewhere.

Regardless, there is a chance that we may see DeAndre Jordan heading out of Los Angeles before the trade deadline next season. While the move may not be entirely likely, the chips for it are still on the table.

Therefore, according to the trade finder within NBA 2K17, here are three potential trade packages the Clippers could receive for DeAndre Jordan.
