DeAndre Jordan: The free agent fiasco was not my intent

DeAndre Jordan thought the Dallas Mavericks offered everything he wanted, including a fresh start and a starring role.
Then Jordan thought about it some more, and the craziest free-agent recruitment story in recent NBA history ended with him back on the Los Angeles Clippers.
"When free agency started, this whole fiasco was not my intent," Jordan said Tuesday.
Jordan knows he picked an awfully weird way to stick with the same team, but he regretted the decision to join the Mavs shortly after making it.
"Originally with Dallas, I thought I wanted change," Jordan said. "I wanted a bigger role and more responsibility, and I was ready to embrace and accept that challenge. But (when) I got by myself and I was able to think about everything that just happened, I realized that being with the Clippers was the best decision for me."
"I really thought about being on one team for my entire career," said Jordan, who agreed to a four-year, $87.6 million deal to return. "That was really important to me. I've been here, and the past few seasons I've had have been pretty successful. I also feel like personally, I know the city. I know the fans. I'm used to the city of L.A., and I love it here."
