If you send away the Ibaka Clippers can save $40 million in luxury taxes

According to NBA reporter Jake Fisher, Ibaka is the most likely player in the Clippers to leave the team before the trade deadline.

In addition, sources revealed that the Thunder are potential trading partners for the Clippers.

The Clippers traded Beverly, Rondo and O'Tulu to the Grizzlies last offseason in exchange for Bledsoe, saving $30 million in luxury taxes, though the team's luxury taxes still total $93.9 million. If they could send Ibaka away before the deal deadline, they could save another $40 million in luxury taxes.

So far this season, Ibaka has played in 23 games, averaging 16 minutes per game, 6.3 points and 4 rebounds, shooting 47.1% from the field and 38.1% from three-point range.
