The Dallas Mavericks have put together one of the biggest coups of the 2015 NBA free agency period so far, coming to terms with free-agent center and defensive stalwart DeAndre Jordan on a four-year deal, according to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports:
Free agent center DeAndre Jordan will be signing a four-year, $80 million contract with the Mavericks, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

While Jordan's offensive arsenal is admittedly limited, his value as a rim protector and overall presence in the post should instantly open up the floor for the rest of Dallas' weapons on both ends of the floor.
Jordan averaged 11.5 points and 15.0 rebounds in 34.4 minutes per game for the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014-15 -- his 7th and final year with the franchise.
