DeAndre Jordan Ditches Mavs for the Clippers - Caught in his feelings, DeAndre Jordan spurned the Dallas Mavericks, who he had given a verbal agreement to for a four-year, $80 million deal last week, to remain with the Los Angeles Clippers early Thursday morning. The center flip-flopped back and forth deciding between the two teams before inking his four-year, $88 million contract extension with the Clippers. The entire drama played out in one hilarious emoji Twitter session seen here. Planes, trains, and automobiles!(Photo: AP Photo/Danny Moloshok, File)
