I waited a couple of hours after finding out the news that DeAndre Jordan would be heading to the Mavericks on a four-year, $80 million contract, as first reported by ESPN’s Marc Stein, to sit down and write this. It was too fresh in my mind at first. I couldn’t gather my thoughts. Everything was scattered.
So, when you flip through this and encounter the inevitable moment when I start to sound like a maniac, just know that a few hours ago—when I sounded, looked and acted like I could’ve been a Nicolas Cage character—things were much worse.
