Oklahoma City Thunder

If there is one team in the NBA that is always willing to take on a player in a salary dump deal, it is the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sam Presti takes full advantage of these situations, taking on draft picks whenever he has the chance to.

There are a few ways that a deal between the teams could go. The Thunder have two trade exceptions, either of which they can use to acquire DeAndre Jordan without sending any players back to Brooklyn.

But, the Nets would likely want someone they feel could help them win in return for Jordan. The Thunder can also provide that in the form of Derrick Favors.

Favors was acquired from the Utah Jazz earlier this offseason along with a future first-round pick. He was selected by the New Jersey Nets and played 56 games there before he was part of the Deron Williams blockbuster deal. Still only 30-years old, Favors can provide some rebounding and interior defense at a higher level than Jordan can.
