Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban dismissed the apology from DeAndre Jordan, who backed out of his verbal agreement with the Mavs and re-signed with the Los Angeles Clippers.
"When is an apology not an apology?" Cuban wrote Saturday on his messaging app Cyber Dust. "When you didn't write it yourself. Next"
Jordan apologized to Cuban, the Mavericks and the team's fans via Twitter on Friday night.
"I want to publicly apologize to one of the best owners in the world @MCuban, the @DallasMavs and their fans," Jordan tweeted. "I am humbled by @DallasMavs & @MCuban kindness and understanding. I am sorry to have a change of heart."
After the two tweets were posted, Cuban told ESPN.com that he still has not had any communication with Jordan since Tuesday night. Cuban said Jordan's mother, Kimberly, called him, but he declined to elaborate on that conversation.
Jordan, after verbally agreeing to a four-year max deal with the Mavs, changed his mind and re-signed with the Clippers on Thursday morning shortly after midnight ET.
The contract with the Clippers is a four-year max deal that will be worth an estimated $88 million, sources told ESPN. Jordan can opt out after three years.
Clippers teammates Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Paul Pierce traveled to Jordan's home in Houston on Wednesday along with coach Doc Rivers and owner Steve Ballmer to attempt to persuade him to reconsider. Once they were successful, the Clippers didn't leave his side until the midnight Thursday deadline when free agents could officially sign new contracts.
Jordan left Thursday for a cruise after reaching the deal with the Clippers and was ready to move on, tweeting Friday, "Let's get back to talking about basketball and winning games in 2015. Thank You! #ClipperNation @clippersteveb #Home."
