DeAndre Jordan is a baaaaaaaaaad man. After agreeing to sign with Mark Cuban’s Dallas Mavericks, the rebounding and shot-blocking machine flip-flopped on his decision Wednesday, just before the NBA’s free-agency moratorium ended, electing instead to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Some thought the San Antonio Spurs would struggle to round out their bench after signing LaMarcus Aldridge. Those people are now bearing witness to the entire Spurs contingent taking a dump on their front lawn.

Duncan has stated he’ll be back next year and today, Ginobili tweeted the same. I mean, after acquiring LaMarcus Aldridge, why would either of them decide to leave now?

After losing DeAndre Jordan to the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Clippers are scrambling to ensure they still field a Western Conference juggernaut for the 2015-16 campaign. Next summer, apparently, they’ll be scrambling to sign free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant. They and 29 other NBA teams, that is. Unlike most of those 29 other teams, though, the [...]
