Los Angeles Clippers

If you like seeing Carmelo Anthony in Knicks colors, turn your head ... cause Melo was out in L.A. Sunday night chatting it up at Catch with Sam Cassell, an assistant coach for the Clippers.

The Clippers are one of Melo's most talked about potential landing spots, and rumor has it that a trade between them and the Knicks almost happened at the deadline.

Add into the equation Melo's wife, LaLa, has an exploding acting career (never hurts to be in L.A.) and the Knicks seem to be souring on Anthony in favor of Porzingis and this meeting could be HUGE.

Doc Rivers has a reputation for picking up the bill for his players whenever they're in a restaurant at the same time ... and Monday night, the lucky winner was DeAndre Jordan.

Doc and a group of friends hit up Catch in West Hollywood after the Clippers beat the OKC Thunder ... and moments after he sat down, DJ arrived with some pals of his own.

JACKPOT!

Of course, DJ can pay for his own meal if he wants to ... dude's riiiich ... but we're told the players always appreciate the gesture.

Oh, Russell Westbrook also arrived to the hot spot after the game ... but we're guessing he paid for his own damn food.

DeAndre Jordan wasn't offended by Meryl Streep's shots at sports during her Golden Globes speech Sunday night ... HE LOVED IT.

In fact, the Clippers star says Meryl's been his crush since he was 6 years old -- "I love her!"

Don't believe him?

We pushed him on his favorite Meryl movie ... he flunked that test.

DeAndre Jordan was involved in a car accident in Playa del Rey moments ago ... and while he appears okay ... another person was hospitalized, TMZ Sports has learned.

Witnesses tell us ... it all went down around noon. The accident involved 2 cars -- a matte black Tesla and an SUV.

Unclear what caused the accident ... but an ambulance, fire truck and police have responded to the scene.

The Clippers say Chris Paul was not involved in the accident -- but was nearby when he heard about the crash and came to the scene with Clippers staffers to check on his friend.

Another person was transported to a nearby hospital. The extent of that person's injuries are unknown.

Chris Paul is super happy that his friend, Kobe Bryant, just had his 3rd baby girl -- but he has a message for the NBA legend ... "Keep going 'til you get a boy!"

Doc Rivers knows he crossed a line when he LOST HIS MIND on an NBA ref Tuesday night -- saying plain and simple ... he shouldn't have acted that way.

The outburst went viral -- Clippers players had to restrain Doc from going after ref Ken Mauer when he was issued a technical foul for talking to another ref during the 1st overtime period against the Nets.

"Yeah, you don't act like that," Doc told us at Catch in West Hollywood this weekend ... "You should get thrown out for that."

Don't worry ... Doc says he's cool with Mauer too -- calling him a good guy.

Guess if you can't beat 'em, eat with 'em ... at least that's how Bulls guard Jimmy Butler must feel ... 'cause he grabbed dinner with DeAndre Jordan just moments after DJ's Clippers handled the Bulls.

Clippers beat the Bulls 102-95 Saturday night ... but that didn't stop the DJ and JB from dining out at Catch -- which is apparently the only restaurant in Los Angeles -- after the final whistle blew.

Our camera got the two men leaving ... and when we asked Jordan if the loser of the game had to pay he smiled and said "I had a good meal" (free food tastes better).

Bonus bombshell revelations? Jordan says his character of Mrs. Hooper in the State Farm ads is DONE FOR GOOD ... which is a major drag, like a BIGGEST drag, the BIGGEST drag we've ever seen.

Donald Sterling went looking for stuff older than he is -- but he did it with a chick quite a bit younger than him.

The 82-year-old ex-Clippers owner was cruising antique shops in Bev Hills Thursday with a hot blonde on his arm and his best b-boy vest on his back. Looks like he got some smartphone lessons too.

Seems too little too late for Sterling to embrace hip-hop culture, but if you're gonna do it, Donald -- try the red down jacket next time, dawg. Just sayin' ...

Bad news for DeAndre Jordan ... looks like his boss ain't too keen on his plan to sign Chris Bosh to the Clippers.

DJ had told us last week that he would sacrifice playing time to get the 11-time All-Star on the Clip squad -- so, when we saw Doc Rivers out this weekend we had to ask about it.

FYI, the execs at the Miami Heat have said they're cutting ties with Bosh over his blood clot condition -- though Bosh says he's determined to continue his NBA career with another team.

Unfortunately, Doc made it pretty clear Bosh ain't gonna land with the Clippers.

BONUS -- Doc was having dinner with Larry David ... prettay, prettay, prettay cool.

If Chris Bosh wants to continue his NBA career, he should do it in LOS ANGELES -- so says DeAndre Jordan who tells TMZ Sports he's willing to sacrifice minutes to get CB on the Clippers.

With the Miami Heat moving to cut ties with Bosh over his blood clot condition, the 11-time All-Star appeared in a video on Tuesday vowing continue to pursue his NBA career.

So, when we shot Jordan out in L.A. Tuesday night, we asked what he thinks Bosh should do next.

"I think that he should come to the Clippers ... I'd come off the bench!"

NBA legend Paul Pierce says he's ready to hang 'em up ... after ONE MORE run at an NBA title.

The Truth just released a video statement on The Players' Tribune -- and says he's realized that it's time to move on from the game of basketball ... "It's my final season."

Pierce says he's at peace with the decision -- and says he believes the Clippers are legitimate title contenders.

He also admits, "It's a young man's game" ... but says he thinks he has one more opportunity "with a great team."

Pierce was drafted by the Celtics with the 10th pick in the 1998 Draft -- and led the team to an NBA title in 2008.

L.A. Clippers star DeAndre Jordan is confident he's head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to style ... saying he's the most fashionable big man in the league.

TMZ Sports ran into the All-NBA center (lookin' fresh as always) when we asked him straight-up if he's the most stylish player in the association.

"6'10" and up? Hell yeah!" DJ pledges ... before telling us whether he shares his threads with fellow big man and LAC teammate Blake Griffin.

Check out the clip ... sounds like someone ain't a team player when it comes to clothes.

Spend it if ya got it, right??

Austin Rivers would make Tom Haverford proud -- dropping some serious cash on a sick new Ferrari ... right after signing his 3-year, $35 MILLION contract with the L.A. Clippers.

TREAT YO'SELF!!!

Check out Austin's pimped out Ferrari F12Berlinetta -- which usually starts above $300,000!!!

But Austin's car is special ... he took it to the guys at Ultimate Auto in Orlando who outfitted the whip in a full matte metallic charcoal wrap, custom wheels and more. We're told the upgrades cost around $25k.

FYI, the Ferrari F12Berlinetta reportedly goes from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds and can hit speeds faster than 211 MPH!!!!

Austin ... be safe dude.

Blake Griffin is f****** hilarious ... and here's video proof.

The L.A. Clippers superstar took the stage at the Just For Laughs event in Montreal last week and flexed his comedy skills for the crowd ... and we gotta say, he drew some pretty big laughs.

Blake's no stranger to the funny business ... having taken classes at a UCB Theatre in L.A. ... but this time his material was WAYYYYY more Richard Pryor than usual, including a story about bangin' a stripper.

The L.A. Clippers equipment staffer who was punched in the face by Blake Griffin during a fight in Toronto earlier this year is off the team -- and will NOT be back for the '16/'17 season ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The Clippers have landed in NY -- with DeAndre Jordan, Doc Rivers and Steve Ballmer all laser focused on signing Kevin Durant.

The Clippers trio touched down in the Hamptons -- where they're reportedly set to meet with KD, who became an unrestricted free agent on Friday.

Ballmer and Rivers managed to pry Jordan out of an essentially done deal with the Dallas Mavericks last year -- but can they work their same magic on Durant???

We'll see ...
