DeAndre Jordan Renegs on Deal with Mavs, Resigns with Clippers

DeAndre Jordan, after verbally agreeing to a four-year max deal with the Dallas Mavericks last week, has made an about-face, re-signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Mavericks deal was a four-year, $80 million-plus arrangement that Jordan waivered on in favor of returning to the Clippers.

Jordan called teammate Blake Griffin on Monday to tell him he was rethinking his deal. Then, head coach Doc Rivers and a swarm of other Clippers personnel went to Jordan's home in Houston to convince him to stay with the team. They stuck with him until he physically signed the contract.

Jordan did not respond to any of the Mavs' attempts to contact him Wednesday, including phone calls and text messages, after he flip flopped on their deal.
