DeAndre Jordan has chosen the Dallas Mavericks, according to reports Friday afternoon. Now what?
His departure from the Los Angeles Clippers (Note: Players can't sign contracts until July 9, after the league reviews the revenue from the previous season and officially sets the salary cap) could set in motion a series of events with major ramifications around the league.
This is the marquee acquisition Mark Cuban & Co. have been waiting for since breaking up the Mavericks team that won the 2011 championship.
Make no mistake: Jordan is a good value at the maximum salary. My free agent rankings projected him as the second most valuable player available over the next three seasons.
Jordan trails only LeBron James, with a value of more than $100 million over the next three seasons.
