Sorry, Lebron. You’re not getting DeAndre Jordan or Lou Williams on that dumpster-fire Cavs team unless the Brooklyn Nets pick is forked over. No one swindles The Logo, not even The King on his finale season in Cleveland.
That being said, there is another Jordan out there who is suddenly available on trade deadline week. He has outstanding size at 6’8″, is also from Los Angeles, and was nominated for a Grammy in 1995 — Montell Jordan!
Montell threw his name into the rumor mill after an anonymous Cavs player told the Associated Press’ Tom Withers the former R&B star could help right now:
Asked one of the #Cavs how much DeAndre Jordan could help right now and he said “Montell Jordan could help us right now.”

He responded immediately and seems to be interested in an enforcer role:
I’m good for 2pts, 1 rebound and 5 good strong fouls. 👌🏾

You might think Montell is selling himself short given his NBA size, but he told Kings.com in 2015 that he can’t ball:
During their time at Pepperdine University, a private college in scenic Malibu, Calif., [Doug] Christie and Jordan were roommates while in the early stages of their respective careers.
The former King was a standout guard on the Pepperdine basketball team before being drafted in the first round of the 1992 NBA Draft. Montell, however, served a different role on the team.
“I was tall but couldn’t play ball,” said the accomplished singer/songwriter following his halftime performance at Sacramento’s first #FlashbackFriday game.
