The Philadelphia 76ers are emerging as front-runners to acquire DeAndre Jordan either as a waiver claim or a free-agent signing, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
Jordan signed a one-year, $2.6 million minimum deal to join the Lakers this season and would save the Sixers $2.3 million in luxury tax if he signed a free-agent deal instead of getting claimed on waivers.
The 33-year-old started 19 of 32 games this season before dropping out of Los Angeles’ rotation. He averaged 4.1 points and 5.3 rebounds.
The Sixers have been aggressive in pursuit of a backup center since including Andre Drummond in the trade-deadline deal to acquire James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets.
On the other hand, the Lakers plan to sign point guard D.J. Augustin with their open roster spot.
