Skip this post if you'd like, but just a taste of what took place tonight as the Clippers paid a visit to convince DeAndre Jordan to back off his verbal commitment to the Mavericks. So it begins...
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne
Clippers believe DJ is returning to LA but I'm told they are staying at his house until he can sign at midnight.
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
In story with
@ramonashelburne we also report Mavs now fear they won't now get audience with Jordan as Clips have essentially surrounded him
Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne
One person not in the meeting or the house with DeAndre Jordan right now -- his agent Dan Fegan. It's just DJ & the Clippers coaches/players
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
So far, Clippers able to keep everyone else out of house, including Cuban, agents. Everyone. They're in four-corners until midnight Eastern.
And the internet did not disappoint in their responses...

They probably drugged him three hours ago. Got him propped up on the couch taking selfies like Weekend at Bernies.

It’s almost like the Clippers have a 19-point lead at home in an elimination game.

Let’s take a live look in at DeAndre Jordan’s place in Texas:
Brian J Pickett @BrianPickett
Mark Cuban is trying to convince JJ Barrea to get launched out of a cannon into a 2nd floor window.

"Hey DeAndre, there's a guy at the door for you, says his name is Clark Muban."

@deandrejordan6 I would advise against staying in a relationship that is this controlling, but you do you.
Ryan Nanni @celebrityhottub
Meanwhile, Austin Rivers is starting to worry that he’ll have to figure out how to cook a Kid Cuisine without help.
Pablo S. Torre @PabloTorre
What if DeAndre already escaped
Brian J Pickett @BrianPickett
The Lakers are all in the same car driving around Texas using Apple Maps to try to find Jordan's house.

When Mark Cuban gets in the house we can assume it was through Lance Stephensons gate
Bobby Big Wheel @BobbyBigWheel
Chandler Parsons is going to try and airdrop strippers into DeAndre Jordan's house before the night is over
