One of the best NBA free agency stories in years is unfolding in front of our eyes.

A contingency of Clippers made an emergency trip to Houston on Wednesday to meet with free agent center DeAndre Jordan, who expressed misgivings about agreeing to a deal with the Dallas Mavericks last week. There was a war of emojis between the Clippers and Mavs, and right now the Clips appear to be winning the battle.

According to reports, the Clippers made their way into Jordan’s home and will not leave until he signs a contract with them after midnight, which is the first time free agents have an opportunity to do so.

Clippers believe DJ is returning to LA but I'm told they are staying at his house until he can sign at midnight.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are trying to meet with Jordan too, but it sounds like he’s not having it.

So far, Clippers able to keep everyone else out of house, including Cuban, agents. Everyone. They're in four-corners until midnight Eastern.

I'm told that DeAndre Jordan won't even take a phone call from Mark Cuban or Chandler Parsons.

This isn't the Clippers holding DeAndre Jordan hostage. This is them keeping him company while he avoid facing the Mavs.

This may seem like a seige, but DeAndre isn't asking anyone to leave. So more like "boxing out"

If all DeAndre Jordan wanted was to feel the love from the Clippers, he certainly is getting it now. As for why there was all the confusion, well, it might have to do with something about the center’s agent.

Luckily Jordan took control of the situation and ensured he would remain with the Clippers.

The nice part about all the madness is that the seeming “hostage” situation led to a bunch of fantastic memes on Twitter:
