Redick, Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers descended on Jordan's home in Houston on Wednesday night, July 8, 2015, for a last-ditch push to keep their defensive pillar, Jordan backed out of a verbal agreement with the Mavericks to stay with the only NBA home he's ever had.

Mark Cuban has spoken out about DeAndre Jordan’s decision to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers, and predictably the owner of the Dallas Mavericks isn’t happy about the matter.

Cuban released a statement on the Cyber Dust messaging app Thursday. He didn’t refer to Jordan by name, though it was clear what he was referencing when he said the center “never responded to me at all yesterday. Not once.”

Cuban also says he will eventually have more to say about what transpired on Wednesday, when a group of Clippers traveled to Jordan’s home in an apparent last-ditch push to re-sign him and Jordan backing out of a verbal agreement with the Mavericks.
