Edit: According to Shams the two camps have already reached an agreement for a buyout. DeAndre Jordan will drop 4 of the $ 20 million in his contract. He will therefore find himself free once the waivers period has passed.
The Detroit Pistons will waive DeAndre Jordan, allowing him to become a free agent, sources tell me and @JLEdwardsIII. Sources said Jordan is giving back $4M in a buyout of the remaining $20M on his deal.

11:40 p.m.: For weeks the Brooklyn Nets had been trying to get rid of the DeAndre Jordan, and they were successful, which will prevent them from negotiating a buyout with the inside. For that they sent him to the Pistons, who should not keep him according to ESPN.
The Pistons are reportedly planning to negotiate a buyout with the interior, which is to touch another $ 20 million over 2 years.
If this is confirmed and he becomes ESPN free, reports the Lakers should be strong contenders for his signing.
Landed at the Nets with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the summer of 2019, he had initialed a $ 40 million contract over 4 years, a lot for a player who spent his time on the bench and who did not play a single minute in the last playoffs. Last season he shot 7.5 points at 76.3%, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 against in 21.9 minutes in 57 games.
