Ryan Totka runs Athlete Promotions, an agency that books sports celebrity appearances, with a focus on brand-building... Both Mark Cuban and Dez Bryant are his clients, among others. One of his biggest branding marks on the industry? Dez Bryant's ThrowUpTheX, which Jordan is imitating in this picture.

That and Twitter and I will sleep happy, or would if I wasn't so excited.
Following Matthews is huge, though. I like that. Matthews followed Jordan a while ago. Gotta dig that. Matthews follows Jordan, Jordan follows attires the day before he announces his team
Matthews Twitter
Jordan's Twitter from a few min ago

@espn_macmahon: Lot of people asking me about timetable for DeAndre Jordan decision. He has set no deadline but expected today or tomorrow.

You have to think that both Parsons and Matthews are in Deandre's ears right now. Aren't they all really close friends?

Oh no...
@AlexKennedyNBA: I'm hearing that the Los Angeles Clippers are feeling confident that DeAndre Jordan will return. We'll see.

this right here interesting:
Kevin Pelton @kpelton 18 Min.Vor 18 Minuten
As I look at it, I'm probably understating the possibility of Dallas swapping Ellis for Hibbert and Hibbert for Jordan if Jordan picks them.
Kevin Pelton @kpelton 18 Min.Vor 18 Minuten
I don't see why that wouldn't work cap-wise and it would give the Mavericks about $8-10 million to find a starting PG/add depth.

Mavs need to jump on NENE if DJ chooses LA. His team is trying to dump him right now.

The only issue with this is he really hates playing center. I like the idea of koufos, he's pretty young and a awesome defender (Memphis I believe was better with him on defense than gasol)

Ben's odds of Jordan coming to the Mavs has been a running joke since free agency began -- there's nothing behind the number.

I was very confident two days ago. I'm still confident, but can't stand the waiting.
Or then again, maybe we'll end up with DJ Augustin.

Just a question... Would you actually consider Jordan a "big fish"? I think the answer is probably "yes" mainly because of his age and defensive abilities... But, well, it'll be interesting to see how he develops offensively.

Con confirm reports that DeAndre Jordan is "leaning heavily" to sign with Dallas Mavericks. @ESPNSteinLine reported first.
