Mark Cuban rips DeAndre Jordan's apology on social media
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has said he's moved on from DeAndre Jordan jilting the team. But it appears there are still some lingering feelings.
A day after Jordan apologized on Twitter, Cuban took to Cyber Dust to address the apology.
"Dear Mavs fans," Cuban wrote. "When is an apology not an apology? When you didn't write it yourself. More importantly, we are excited to have traded for Zaza [Pachulia]. He needs one name."
This is the second time Cuban refused to use Jordan's name in these messages. Cuban shed light Thursday on the bizarre circumstances that culminated in Jordan signing a four-year, $88 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers without using Jordan's name.
Cuban then added that the Mavericks have been targeting Pachulia, whom they acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks for a second-round pick.
"We have been trying to trade for Zaza and finally were able to pull the trigger. He is a good rebounder and in the hard to believe category, he shoots the 15 foot pick and pop jumper at the same level as ... Dirk [Nowitzki]. Look it up!"
Jordan tweeted his apology Friday, days after reneging on a verbal agreement he made to the Mavericks on a four-year, $80 million deal.
I want to publicly apologize to one of the best owners in the world @MCuban, the @DallasMavs and their fans.

Jordan appears to have moved past this. Now it's Cuban's turn.
