[lakerboy]

Looks like deandre might change his mind.

More likely dirk does that lol.

[Big Bear]

after he hit that woman at that bar he might not be playing for anyone

[CWD]

wouldnt be surprised if he did it all for the free dinners and "recruiting"

Mark cuban

[jjgold]

Classic

They love to hit women

[Roadtrip635]

Doc Rivers supposedly making his pitch to keep DAJ

[klemopixx]

Total bullshit. One of the Mavs will take out his knee this season if he backs out on this. Cuban will blow his top for sure. This is going to be investigated by the league.

[yydouble]

Cuban got drunk and told Blake that Jordan was a sucker. Blake told Jordan. Now Jordan hates Cuban.

Lol @ Bear!

[sportsfanatic]

huge douchebag move if he backs out

[sportsfanatic]

league needs to investigate this for sure

[marcoloco]

he Carlos Boozered em

[existential]

Mavs will be better off, at least they can start tanking now. sure, i understand the initial shock of DJ's bush league move, but i wouldn't be that upset about it after thinking it over some.

Mavs next hope will be for Parsons to opt-out next offseason so they can be done with him as well. he's coming off microfracture and likely won't play well this season anyway. his athleticism will be seriously affected after this injury and he doesn't shoot the 3-ball nearly as well as he thinks he does. he's also become a poor defender. Matthews was a solid two-way player before injury, but achilles have ended many stars' careers so i wouldn't overestimate his addition yet.

Cuban should try suing DJ or the league so we can get more drama from this situation. he should also help Dirk find a contender at the deadline next season.

[gauchojake]

lol

I hate the Clippers but this is pretty awesome. Wonder if the Mavs still want to do a sign and trade for Lin? TwoWays check in pal - i know you're on top of all things Linsanity.

[Menses]

Clippers literally holding Deandre hostage in his own home....LOL..or so the reports indicate...this is ridiculous..

[sportsfanatic]

bargain bin lin. giant pay cut this season. binsanity.

[jtoler]

CP3 manned up and got in his ear and basically apologized for being too hard on him.

[paco]

Proving he really is Chris Paul's bitch after all lol

[jtoler]

Don't understand the uproar, Jordan did nothing wrong, its his right to back out blame the league rules.

[Cookie Monster]

This moratorium rule leaves many holes open. What is next: A team agreeing to terms, and later getting a bargain in another player, then backing off his first commitment? A player sent to agree to terms just to back out and mess with team plans?

Exactly, if they could have gotten a verbal from a better center somehow they would have told Jordan sorry deal off the table.

[sportsfanatic]

from now on in the future, any time the media announces a verbal agreement in the nba, people will bring up deandre jordan

[jjgold]

Is Paul really sleeping with Jordan?

[cankid]

Hope he turns it down

[Sledge187]

Doc Rivers supposedly making his pitch to keep DAJ

This made me laugh out loud.

[BuckyOne]

Remember what happened to Tyson Chandler when he left Dallas? Like nothing - right? Same thing would happen to DJ if he went to Dallas. If the chemistry was working last year for DJ - why take a chance on it working someplace else? The reason DJ had such a good year is because Blake Griffin was a beast and too much for one man to guard.

[Pick'nParlays]

This is like a bad Kardashian episode

Too much drama for me too care what these whiny overpaid do

But make a choice and stick too it. Don't commit to something and then default/back out.

This is why the clips are the most hated team in the NBA. Paul and DJ don't gel. Another lose for the Clips based on the FACT that this team hasn't won and won't anytime soon without adding another variable and praying injuries don't plague them. Saving grace being....nobody else better out there at this point in the FA sweepstakes so best case for the clips was the system that doesn't even work at the moment. GSW has them all next year.

[sportsfanatic]

at least wes matthews kept his word

[Thor4140]

league needs to investigate this for sure

lol this is the leagues doing. they want the clippers as close to that championship as they can get. Cuban threw them a curveball and now they are fixing it.

[marcoloco]

Marc Gasol was the only FA one who could be considered a better C and he was never leaving the Grizz

I would blame the media and anyone who believed them. Everyone is mad because they were counting the chickens before they hatched <label for="rb_iconid_123"></label>

[Stallion]

I wonder if there are any tampering rules or anything that could stop this in the future??

[t-wizzle]

Good. Dallas is going nowhere. They keep trying to hold on when in reality they need to start from scratch.

Dirk can't play anymore. It's over for him. Until he retires, Dallas won't be able to do anything.

As for the Clippers, I'm glad they re-signed Jordan. I'd rather see a full strength Clippers team duke it out with the Spurs, Warriors, Rockets, Thunder, etc.
