Last Friday, DeAndre Jordan was all set to join the Dallas Mavericks on a four-year, $80 million max deal after a less-than-stellar pitch from his former (???) team, the L.A. Clippers. It also came out that Jordan was not happy with his relationship with Chris Paul, who can be…prickly, let’s call it. Specifically, Jordan was reportedly sick of “Paul’s constant barking and petty gestures, like distributing high-fives to the three other guys on the floor following a timeout but somehow freezing out Jordan.”
Yesterday, his former (???) teammate J.J. Redick graded the Clippers off-season at F-minus, which is not good. And now today, there are reports that DeAndre is having second thoughts about the move and is open to a return to L.A. These reports have in turn set in motion a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad dash between the two teams, with Doc Rivers and Mark Cuban racing to meet DeAndre Jordan hoping to sway his decision.

It’s like The French Connection but with basketball.
Things are looking good for the Clippers, but…what’s that, up in the sky? Is that Chandler Parsons?
Buckle up. Shit’s about to get wild.
