Report: Nets Trading DeAndre Jordan to Pistons; Detroit Plans to Buy Out Center's Contract

The Nets are trading center DeAndre Jordan, four future-second round picks and $5.78 million to the Pistons in exchange for Jahlil Okafor and Sekou Doumbouya, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Detroit plans to negotiate a contract buyout on the two years, $20 million remaining on Jordan's four-year, $40 million deal he signed in June 2019. The move would allow him to become a free agent. If Jordan becomes a free agent, the Lakers will become a serious contender to land him, per Wojnarowski.

The Nets would save $47 million in salary and tax on the deal.
