As David Aldridge of TNT reports, DeAndre Jordan deserting the Dallas Mavericks unexpectedly in the 11th hour of the Free Agency moratorium to return to the Los Angeles Clippers had at least one positive side effect...positive if you're Wesley Matthews anyway:
With DeAndre Jordan going back to the Clippers, Wes Matthews's deal with Dallas goes from 4/$57M to a max deal: 4 years, $70M, per source.

It's worth noting the the Portland Trail Blazers have made the exact same offer to Oklahoma City Thunder free agent Enes Kanter. The price of a potential starter in the NBA is rising.
