Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan parts ways with Relativity Sports agents

Jordan’s decision to leave his agents came last week after the National Basketball Association fined the Clippers $250,000 for violating the league’s anti-circumvention rules, which prohibit teams from offering players unauthorized business or investment opportunities. The next day, Jordan, 27, agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks, but later changed his mind and returned to the Clippers.

Jordan has parted ways with his representatives from Relativity Sports, Dan Fegan and Jarin Akana. Jordan has now left three different agencies in his seven National Basketball Association seasons.

However, DeAndre would famously renege on his verbal agreement at the 11th hour of the free-agent moratorium period, thus spurning the Mavs’ offer in the process and instead re-signing with the Clippers for a maximum deal worth $88 million dollars over the next four years.

It did seem clear, though, that Jordan initially told his agents that he wanted expand his game – or, at the very least, was convinced that’s what he wanted after meeting with Chandler Parsons, Cuban and the rest of the Mavericks representation.

The Clippers’ DeAndre Jordan had quite the offseason, between verbally committing to the Dallas Mavericks, waffling on that decision and then ultimately ending back up in Los Angeles, but now he’s making a change potentially even bigger than that. The two have worked together on several deals in the past (not all successful) and were thought to have orchestrated Jordan’s move to Dallas in some detail. Whenever he decides to make his choice, it’s likely that prospective agents will want some kind of explanation of what went down with the Mavericks, Clippers, and Fegan.
