The Clippers waited around until the first possible chance they could to re-sign DeAndre Jordan in his own home while the Mavs could only hopelessly watch from afar. In the end it worked out for them as they got their man as Jordan agreed to stay in Hollywood and sign a four year deal with the Clippers.

In a stunning reversal involving impassioned 11th-hour pleas from teammates, a Twitter war of emojis and a midnight home stakeout, DeAndre Jordan decided he wanted to remain with the only NBA team he has known, the Los Angeles Clippers. The clippers confirmed the deal shortly after midnight via twitter.

The free-agent center backed out of a five-day commitment to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, agreeing to re-sign with the Clippers during one of the wildest days in franchise history.

The strange sequence hit a dramatic climax when a contingent of Clippers players and executives remained at Jordan’s home in Houston until midnight to stave off any last-minute attempts by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to persuade Jordan to fulfill his pledge to sign with the Mavericks.

Jordan had agreed Friday to sign a four-year, $80-million contract with the Mavericks, but the commitment could not become binding until Jordan signed with the team.

The Clippers re-signed Jordan for four years. He can opt out of the contract after the third year.

Things weren’t going to look too great for the Mavs even with Jordan in the eyes of most people, so you have to wonder what they do at this point themselves. You know Mark Cuban is screaming every curse word at the top of his lungs right now. The first time the Clippers play in Dallas things should be interesting. Especially after Blake Griffin trolled Mark Cuban and the Mavs with a hilarious picture from inside DeAndre’s home.
