Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the Brooklyn Nets are sending Jordan, four future second-round picks, and $5.78 million to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Jahlil Okafor and Sekou Doumbouya.

It is also reported that the Pistons will release the Jordan via buyout, thereby saving $47 million in salary and taxes. The Los Angeles Lakers are considered favorites to sign Jordan.

This move would also allow the Nets to sign free agents to add role players to the star trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving.

A member of the 2016 All-NBA First Team, Jordan averaged 7.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game last season. However, his contribution was limited, especially in the second part of the regular season and during the playoffs.

20-year-old Sekou Doumbouya averaged 5.1 points and 2.6 over 15.5 minutes for the Pistons last season.

Jahlil Okafor accumulated 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds over 27 games and 12.9 minutes last year.
