This story had almost completed its news cycle. Almost.
DeAndre Jordan spurned the Dallas Mavericks by making an about-face and bailing on his verbal commitment to instead stay with the Los Angeles Clippers. The hilarious circumstances of Wednesday night were recapped. Everyone weighed in, from the players union, to Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, to Jordan-pal and recruiter Chandler Parsons.

When Paul Pierce summarized everything in a twit-pic photo essay and Jordan publicly apologized to Cuban and the Mavericks, it seemed the unfortunate but entertaining saga had come to a close.
But Cuban appears unwilling to accept Jordan's apology, taking to his Cyber Dust app Saturday to call out Jordan for having someone else write an apology for him.

One person the Mavericks won't get any sympathy from is Tyson Chandler, the center Dallas let walk as they pursued Jordan.
"No, I brought a championship to that city," Chandler, now a member of the Phoenix Suns, told TMZ. "I don't feel bad."
We're not sure the 2011 championship is going to make the Mavericks feel any better about losing a max-contract free agent in 2015. In any case, hopefully Chandler's is the last word on this matter, at least until the Clippers and Mavericks square off.
