When we heard that DeAndre Jordan was re-thinking his decision to sign with the Mavericks earlier today and considering making a return to the Clippers, we thought, "Hmmm…this could be interesting" We just didn't realize how interesting it would turn out to be.

At the moment, the Clippers and Mavericks are jockeying for position in the DJ sweepstakes, and it could very well determine the futures of their respective franchises.

Keep an eye on his Twitter account, guys...
