Blake Griffin and the Clippers have DeAndre Jordan barricaded in his own house (maybe literally).
They want to keep Mark Cuban and the Mavericks from persuading Jordan to sign with the Mavericks.
How’s Cuban handling that?
Chris Broussard of ESPN:
Marc Stein of ESPN:
ESPN sources say Mavs owner Mark Cuban has begun to notify people within the organization that DeAndre Jordan is staying with Clippers

Mavs, sources say, still have not heard directly from DeAndre Jordan since TUES and now concede there's zero hope of changing his mind again

Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times:
Can confirm that Dallas owner Mark Cuban has told team employees that DeAndre Jordan is returning to the Clippers.

It’s hard to see the Broussard and Stein/Turner reports both being correct, at least simultaneously. I’m choosing Broussard’s, because it’s funnier.
Really, it doesn’t matter much what Cuban is doing at this point. It’s probably out of his hands.
All signs point to Jordan reneging on his commitment to the Mavericks and re-signing with the Clippers.
