What happened: DeAndre Jordan's agreement to return to New Orleans is a two-year, $7.9 million deal with both seasons fully guaranteed, according to Jake Fischer. The terms follow Jordan's re-signing with the Pelicans for his 19th NBA season.
Why it matters: The full guarantee locks in roster spot security for a veteran center entering his 19th season, giving New Orleans a known cost commitment for its frontcourt depth.
By the numbers: Contract: two years, $7.9 million, fully guaranteed both seasons.
What to watch: Terms are expected to become official once the Pelosi... New Orleans front office finalizes paperwork.
