After just one game into their season, the New Orleans Pelicans' front office has decided to make a change. The team has waived Jaden Springer and signed DeAndre Jordan to a one-year deal. This move addresses a pretty big need at the backup five spot with Kevon Looney, Karlo Matkovic, and Yves Missi all injured.

The former All-NBA center for the LA Clippers days of monstrous alley-oop finishes and dominant double-double nights may be behind him.
