The nightmare is real for Steve Ballmer’s squad. DeAndre Jordan is gone, leaving the Los Angeles Clippers with a huge hole in their roster and only limited resources with which to fill it.

That is, unless Doc Rivers can pull another rabbit out of his hat this summer.

According to Yahoo Sports’ Marc J. Spears, Jordan will be taking his talents to Texas, to serve at center for the Dallas Mavericks. Per the Los Angeles Times‘ Brad Turner, Jordan will earn upwards of $80 million over the next for years—the maximum the Mavs could’ve offered—while teaming up with Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons and the soon-to-be-signed Wesley Matthews.

While Dallas continues to fill out its team, L.A. is left to pick up the pieces.
