NBA Trade Rumors: The Milwaukee Bucks continue to covet DeAndre Jordan, who may or may not be moved at the NBA Trade Deadline

The Milwaukee Bucks are in desperate need of depth in their frontcourt, and they have one man at the top of their wishlist as the NBA Trade Deadline looms.

That man is DeAndre Jordan. However, there are two problems with this. First, the LA Clippers haven’t concluded whether or not they will decide to move Jordan in the first place. The Clippers are within striking distance of the 8th seed in the West, and have played much better as of late. However one five-game losing streak could change all that.

Secondly, even if the Clippers come to the decision to trade Jordan, the Bucks might not even have the assets to make a deal with LA. If Jordan becomes available before the trade deadline, there will likely be other playoff teams potentially trying to outbid the Bucks.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one team that has constantly been connected to Jordan’s name over the last couple of months.

If the Bucks had it their way, though, Jordan would be in a Bucks uniform by the end of next month. And they’re holding out hope that it will happen eventually.

"[via ESPN]Milwaukee has been determined to find a center, and Jordan tops the Bucks’ list, but it’s unclear whether they have a package to eventually make the deal."

The Bucks are likely to be active at the NBA Trade Deadline, whether DeAndre Jordan is available or not. They need help up front and, even in a much smaller move, need to make something happen.

Milwaukee is currently 6th in the Eastern Conference standings, just one game behind the 4th seeded Washington Wizards. Perhaps trading for a player like Jordan could be the difference in the Bucks finishing 4th in the conference to 6th, 7th or even 8th – the last four spots in the East playoffs are separated by just two games.
