The rumors seem to be coming true surrounding the Los Angeles Clippers blowing up their roster. But what will become of their heralded center, can the Timberwolves trade for DeAndre Jordan?

The Los Angeles Clippers sent combo guard Austin Rivers to the Washington Wizards this week for 34-year-old center Marcin Gortat. This move was obviously an attempt to show NBA franchises the Clippers are serious about getting rid of DeAndre Jordan – and possibly for a low price. Are the Minnesota Timberwolves listening?

If Jordan can be moved for a deal worthwhile, he must first opt-in for his last contract year. This projected opt-in would pay him close to $24 million, and teams would only be using him as a one-year rental – with no guarantee of him resigning anywhere in the summer of 2019.

While most of you may be confused why it’s worth it to bring a rental to Minnesota, our questionable best player is Jimmy Butler – who will be a free agent next summer, the Wolves own personal rental.

How do we keep Butler occupied in Minnesota?

You bring talent there, no matter what position they play. In this case, the Karl-Anthony Towns center experience on the defensive end has been lackluster, this Jordan deal could improve the Wolves’ defense and give Towns a different look at the power forward position – or at least freedom for Tom Thibodeau to differentiate the roster.

Much like the majority of the league, the main issue for the Timberwolves is their severe lack of cap space. In order to make this move happen, some future picks may have to be added to sweeten the pot.

So what’s the deal?
