After a very interesting series of events for the Los Angeles Clippers this week, the details of the DeAndre Jordan debacle are slowly leaking.
This afternoon, J.J. Redick released some more nuggets of information about Wednesday night. And by the way, it was Chandler Parsons who started the Emoji war.
Via Grantland, Redick said the following during the podcast:
“Chandler Parsons to the rescue! Yay!” Redick told Lowe somewhat facetiously. “And I’m just like, all right, I’m going to tweet out a car. I’m already here.”
Redick said he had already made the three-hour drive from his home in Austin as part of the Clippers’ efforts to get Jordan to back out of his commitment to the Mavericks. Teammate Blake Griffin had arrived the previous night, Redick said, and was eating dinner with Jordan at the time Jordan sent Mavericks owner Mark Cuban a text saying he was on a date.
Redick described the scene at Jordan’s house as “less a pitch and more just team-building.” Players played spades on the kitchen table until abandoning the game when his parents came back with Cane’s chicken for the Clippers contingent. (The team of Chris Paul and Paul Pierce was beating Redick and Jordan at the time, Redick said.)
“What was supposed to be a three-hour drive,” Redick said, “became a four-hour-and-45-minute drive.”
“There’s this discussion on Twitter about, ‘Is DeAndre wrong?’ or whatever,” Redick said. “This happens all the time in every business.”
Redick called Wednesday “the best day on Twitter maybe ever” because of the emoji war, saying he was unsure why Pierce tweeted out a picture of a rocket ship emoji instead of an actual rocket ship emoji since the veteran small forward had a couple of emoji apps on his phone.
“Wednesday was like one hit after another,” Redick said. “It was like, ‘That’s the best tweet ever. No, wait a minute, that’s the best tweet ever.’ ”
