At this point, DeAndre Jordan's going to have to flip a coin and let gravity decide.
The heavily courted free agent met with the only club he's ever known Thursday night, the Clippers, and came out of the meeting "torn" on his decision between Los Angeles and the Dallas Mavericks, according to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Mavericks met with Jordan as soon as free agency opened on July 1 at midnight ET.
Thursday's meeting with the Clippers went well - "they had their stuff together" - reported the Los Angeles Times' Brad Turner, but there's no timetable for Jordan to make a decision. The soon-to-be 27-year-old has concerns about the Clippers' roster and how it will age, tweeted ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, and is worried about what will happen with Blake Griffin, who is under contract for another two years, with a $21.3-million player option for the 2017-18 season.

A decision could come Friday or over the weekend, and many are waiting in limbo for the big man to decide his future.
In New York, the Knicks have a commitment from Robin Lopez to sign with the club, but he'll only do so if Jordan doesn't move to Manhattan. And the Knicks are reportedly operating as if they're still in the Jordan sweepstakes:

Meanwhile, also in Dallas, the club got a verbal commitment from free-agent shooting guard Wesley Matthews, who will sign a four-year deal. The financial figures are unknown, held up due to Jordan potentially signing with the Mavericks, as well.
All in all, it's been a wild 48 hours in the NBA. What's a few more?
