Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 ways the Chris Paul trade impacts the Cavs

Way #2: DeAndre Jordan could be a trade target

This is more of a theoretical one, but the Los Angeles Clippers will most likely blow it up.

They lost Reddick, they lost Paul, they will most likely lose Griffin; then what? Jordan is one of the better assets on the team, but Jordan is not the type of player to take over a game. I, personally, call him a super role player. He protects the paint like non-other, and he can rebound like an animal.

The Cavaliers, who were 25th in blocks per game and 12th in rebounds per game, could use some improvement in both those areas. If the Paul George trade bottoms out or he goes elsewhere, the Cavaliers could look towards Jordan to solve several of their noticeable holes. Jordan should not be too expensive. I would think that Thompson and a future first-round pick might be able to do it.

Jordan is definitely the type of super role player to replace Thompson and take the Cavs to the next level. The Clippers should be looking to deal him, and the Cavaliers should be the team to jump on the deal.

So, Beverley, Williams, and Jordan are all good trade targets that could open up, but it might now be Houston who is their enemy in trades, and that would impact them in the greatest way.
