The Charlotte Bobcats will target Arron Afflalo and Jameer Nelson in a potential trade.
Steve Clifford is believed to be fond of Afflalo and Nelson.
Nelson, 32, is entering the final season of his contract at $8 million, but only $2 million of that is guaranteed if Nelson is waived by July 15.
Afflalo, 28, is due to earn $7.5 million next season and has a player option for 2015-16, also valued at $7.5 million.
Al Jefferson missed Monday's Game 4 against the Miami Heat.
Jefferson has dealt with a plantar fascia injury.
Michael Jordan released a statement denouncing the racist remarks made by Donald Sterling.
"I look at this from two perspectives – as a current owner and a former player. As an owner, I’m obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views.
"I’m confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly. As a former player, I’m completely outraged. There is no room in the NBA - or anywhere else - for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed.
"I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and and must not tolerate discrimination at any level.”
LeBron James appeared to stare down Charlotte Bobcats' owner Michael Jordan on a breakaway dunk in the third quarter of the Miami Heat's Game 3 win.
After picking up his dribble and taking flight, James had his head turned in Jordan’s direction and kept his stare as he ascended toward the basket.
After the game, James denied giving the glare to Jordan.
“No, no. Don’t start that. Absolutely not, man. Absolutely not,” James said. “I was able to read McRoberts, get a steal and push the lead back up. I absolutely didn’t look at MJ, for sure.”
Josh McRoberts has been fined $20,000 by the NBA for his elbow to LeBron James in Game 2 of the series between the Miami Heat and Charlotte Bobcats.
The incident occurred with 50 seconds left in the Bobcats' 101-97 loss on Wednesday.
