Stephen A. Smith Says That DeAndre Jordan Wants To Be Traded To The Rockets

Live look at Doc Rivers over the last 12 hours or so:

I don’t know what we did to deserve this avalanche of NBA drama in the middle of January, but I’m not going to complain about it one bit. We have three (3) real football games left and Spring Training isn’t even close to being a reality. So as always, the NBA carries the sports world when it needs it most and only leaves one set of footprints in the sand.

Now like all things NBA drama related, we have to put on our detective caps and get extra woke. Maybe Chris Paul and his tunnel crew weren’t leading a contingent of Rockets to beat the bag out of Austin Rivers. Instead, they were looking to steal DeAndre Jordan’s ass from the Clippers just like Paul did to the Mavericks once upon a time. I bet DeAndre knew it was time to bail on the Clips when he realized he was rooting for the Rockets to win all of the fights last night but was too scared to say anything within earshot of Patrick Beverley. And you can’t tell me that the Rockets using their starting center as a Trojan Horse in this whole thing was a coincidence.

All that is missing from this ridiculousness is an emoji war. Paul Pierce can even kick things off since his GOAT tweet from the last emoji war is actually more relevant now than it was then.

Or maybe emoji wars have evolved into gif wars. I don’t know.

Is this all a bunch of nonsense that will be rebuffed from both sides immediately? Probably. But if I have to hear the last names of the four quarterbacks starting on Sunday one more time, I am going to lose my fucking mind. Give me all the NBA drama and an early taste of #PhotoshopSZN before the trade deadline rolls around. And I also need the Western Conference standings to stay exactly the same. Or at least just the Rockets and the Clippers stay locked into a first round matchup.
