Jordan announced his intention to sign a four-year, $80 million contract with the Mavs last week. However, all free agency agreements remain on hold until the league moratorium is lifted tomorrow. According to multiple outlets, Jordan is having second thoughts about leaving Los Angeles for Dallas, despite a reported rift with star Clippers guard Chris Paul:
Source close to D.Jordan started having 2nd thoughts on leaving LAC early in week, source said. Loves LA, Team closeness. @ESPNSteinLine 1st

Sources told @Chris_Broussard that DJ has told people close to him since picking Dallas that he's still "torn" & "unsure" about his choice.

Such a reversal would be extremely unique, especially considering that most teams cut contact with a free agent after he makes a decision to sign elsewhere. However, it appears anything is possible in this situation. Stay tuned.
