​You couldn't make this up if you tried.





The NBA continues being the greatest soap opera known to man after the news that DeAndre Jordan wants to be traded to the Houston Rockets, not even one day after the Clippers and Rockets played a game with multiple ejections and a ​secret passage way surprise attack orchestrated by Chris Paul with James Harden, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green going after Blake Griffin and Austin Rivers.





Jordan has been named in trade discussions for most of the season, but this is the first time his name has been associated with going to the Rockets.

The fact that the source is Stephen A. Smith just makes it all the better, and the move actually makes sense, with Jordan being from the Houston area, playing his college ball at Texas A&M, and roaming the hardcourt with CP3 for years already..





Jordan has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but he is leading the league in rebounding at 14.9 and averaging 11.8 points and 1.0 blocks to along with it.





Jordan has mainly been​ linked to Cleveland over the course of the season, but the Cavaliers haven't been able to work out a deal yet.

There's no way the news that Jordan wants to be traded to the Rockets a day after the Clippers did battle with them will sit well with the rest of his teammates, and we couldn't be more excited to hear Blake Griffin's reaction.
