Chandler Parsons and Mark Cuban finally got their guy. DeAndre Jordan is nearing a deal to sign with the Dallas Mavericks for four years and $80 million. Jordan has been going back and forth between the Mavericks and Clippers for days now. The decision leaves the Clippers in a very precarious situation since they are over the salary cap.

Chandler Parsons and the Mavs have put the full-court press on Jordan since the beginning of free agency. His arrival in Dallas, along with Wes Matthews, makes for a pretty successful offseason for the Maverick front office. Jordan should have much bigger role in Rick Carlisle’s pick-and-roll heavy offense with Dirk Nowitzki acting as a floor space. Jordan has wanted a bigger role in Los Angeles, but the move to Dallas should actually give him that opportunity.
ESPN sources say DeAndre Jordan is on verge of accepting Mavs' four-year, $80M+ max offer. Dallas firmly in lead and decision likely today
