The Clippers were a franchise in motion on that memorable summer's day they converged in Houston.
They slipped into an assortment of vehicles to reach DeAndre Jordan's house, slightly embellishing their efforts by tweeting emojis of a car, an airplane, a helicopter, a banana boat, a swimmer and a rocket ship.
Jordan rewarded the flurry of activity by backing out of a commitment to the Dallas Mavericks to stay with the only NBA team he has known and resume his title chase alongside Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.
After four seasons together, it still qualifies as a slow-speed pursuit.
