The NBA's moratorium period at the start of July every year is designed to allow the league to calculate the precise new salary cap and luxury tax figures for the coming season. But teams and players are allowed to come to verbal agreements during the moratorium starting July 1. The first seven days of 2015 free agency produced a frenzy that has seen roughly 70 free agents come to terms on new contracts.

Yes...but why couldn't they figure out the cap numbers earlier/later so July 1st or 9th is the day you can actually sign, instead of coming to a verbal agreement that's non-binding.

Boozer was under contract to Cleveland. He had a team option on his last year. Cleveland agreed not to exercise the option, so they could re-sign him to a new deal. Both sides agreed to this in advance. When Cleveland let him out of the contract, instead of signing a new one with them as agreed, he signed with Utah.
In short, AT BEST, he broke his word and suckered Cleveland. At worst, he lied to get out of his contract, then broke his word and suckered Cleveland.

Hate to defend Boozer but this is his version:
"There was no commitment, no handshake," Boozer insisted this
week, stating correctly that it would have been illegal under the
collective bargaining agreement. "I'm a man of my word, and the
only commitment I gave was to Utah, and I kept that commitment."
Also let's not forget Utah was offering $27 million more
this is nothing like the Boozer situation

This would be an all time dumb move. The Clips are a better team than the Mavs, but Chris Paul is a pretty awful teammate by most all reports and Jordan has a better chance of hitting his basketball ceiling going with the Mavs. Paul plays mind games with his teammates, Dirk is a true franchise player.
I don't think Jordan has a high offensive ceiling, but he will never know should he stay with the Clippers. Also, Cuban is going to go nuclear and be super vindictive. The Clippers have nothing to complain about should he leave because he was making the best decision for himself. The Mavs will have every reason to be pissed because this changed their approach to other free agents.
He's like the cheating husband whose wife takes him back, not because she loves him, but because he's beneficial to her.

Tampering with the CBA or not, it's quite clear that when one party gives up an advantage to the other party, there must have been a previous agreement. Much like RJ or Wade opting out of millions.

The ends don't justify the means. You support this kind of move, and someday it will hurt our team. Stick to principles first.
The unwritten rules exist to preserve the integrity of the game and encourage responsibility, and facilitate prudent planning by teams. Plenty of rules are "unwritten", like being an honest teammate that doesn't lie to everyone, or not leaking a team's dirty laundry to the press at every chance. DJ is showing a profound immaturity in this process. Why does he call Doc for advice? Why not his new team? Who is giving this guy objective advice?

Jordan will be dumb to go to the Mavs. He was suckered into the Mavs' message that he will be better featured there. Jordan thrives with Griffin and Paul feeding him the ball. If DJ has any illusions that he'll be dominant in the low post, he's going to very disappointed.

You're correct. Cavs had a team option on Boozer for $695K but did't pick it up (and thus making an unrestricted free agent) with the understanding (per the Cavs) that Boozer would sign for mid-level exception. Boozer never explained what would have made the Cavs do that, so no one really knows. Everything else is all circumstantial conjecture.

Well, I used to bag on Dwight Howard all the time for being a mental midget, but at least he had the balls to tell the Lakers to suck it so he could write his own legacy in Houston. If DJ goes back to LA, he's a little bitch.

DJ is a much different case. He would not deny his verbal commitment to Dallas.

Dirk obviously isn't down to tank, and Cleveland has Brenda's contract to help Cuban with his tank. You gotta think Cuban would send Dirk to a contender as a thank you for taking that big paycut.

Thanks for giving us a legal term. There's no requirement for it to apply to people's opinions, and Boozer didn't commit a crime. He just backed out on a verbal agreement for more money. He's allowed to do it, but it still makes him a fucking scumbag.

07-08-2015, 01:41 PM
You're correct. Cavs had a team option on Boozer for $695K but did't pick it up (and thus making an unrestricted free agent) with the understanding (per the Cavs) that Boozer would sign for mid-level exception. Boozer never explained what would have made the Cavs do that, so no one really knows. Everything else is all circumstantial conjecture.
Haha so the Cavs could have had him for cheap but passed on that option to throw even more money at him BUT there was no prior agreement.

Wonderful. Good old witch hunt based upon scant or circumstantial evidence. You can have suspicions. That's fair. But honestly it's classless and uncivilized to publicly declare "well I think he's guilty" with so little to go on, because if he is innocent you just harmed an innocent man. Good for you. There was a time people would be shunned for that crap.

It's a house of cards. If DJ backs out, then every other subsequent commitment by the Mavs needs to be revisited. If I signed with the Mavs thinking they had DJ locked up and that made them a contender I'd be on the phone with my agent ASAMFP.

As you said, if you can't prove it, it didn't happen. You aren't a hypocrite or anything, so you shouldn't have trouble backing up that statement. A handshake agreement isn't a violation, it's just stupid if the person you agree with is a fucking liar with no sense of honor. Cleveland was stupid, and Boozer was a fucking liar.
The Cavs were going to offer him a contract much lower than what Utah offered. Even if we assume what Cleveland claims is true (which I am not ready to do) STILL, Utah offered $27 million more on the spot.
this is nothing like it.
Boozer knew exactly what the Cavs were going to offer the second they declined his option, because it was all they had to spend. He asked the team to respect him and give him long-term security, then he turned around and signed with Utah. These are not disputed facts by anyone but Boozer. His own fucking agent tried to talk him out of taking 27 million more, then quit before he signed it. His agent. The person who stood to make a lot of money off the bigger contract. Why do you think that is? :lol

Don't want to thread-jack, but here's the Cavs' side on the Boozer deal (original article is from summer of 2004)...what's interesting is that Boozer's agent dropped him afterwards...
"According to Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund, Boozer first approached the ownership about his desires for financial security and to remain in Cleveland for the duration of his career in December 2003.
“[Boozer] and his agent made it very clear that if we respected them, and provided the security he was looking to gain, he would respect us,” wrote Gund in a letter to Cavalier fans dated July 14, 2004. “Given his record on the court, with the franchise, and in the community, we had every reason to believe his commitment.”
This summer, Gund and the Cavaliers’ general manager, Jim Paxson, gave Boozer two options. The first was to play out his original contract, which ended at the conclusion of the 2005 season. After the season, Cleveland would then let Boozer test the free agent market while also offering the former Duke center the NBA maximum. Boozer’s second choice was to terminate the option on his current contract and sign a long-term deal with the Cavaliers for the maximum as soon as possible. Paxson, wary of ending Boozer's current contract for fear that the Duke alumnus would sign with another team, told the two-year veteran, “There are at least seven teams that have cap space right now who will want to pay you more than we can now. We don’t want to lose you. Why would we not pick up the option?”
According to Gund, Boozer's answer to Paxson was that he wanted to end his current contract “because we’d like long term security and we want to stay in Cleveland.” Boozer has never denied Gund’s account.
After Boozer consulted with his agent, he decided to ask the Cavaliers to release him from his current contract and negotiate a long-term deal.
“We’d like to begin, as soon as permissible, to negotiate an agreement that we can sign on July 14,” Paxson said to Boozer. “That's exactly what I want,” Boozer responded. “I want to get this done as quickly as we can.”
Boozer continually told Gund and Paxson: “If you show respect for me, I will show respect for you.” Gund and Paxson decided to trust Boozer, and decided not to pick up his option so they could negotiate a long-term deal for their up-and-coming power forward.
But instead of showing the same respect for the Cavaliers, Boozer signed a six-year, $68 million deal with the Utah Jazz—a deal the Cavaliers could not offer under the restriction of the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement unless they made impossible changes to their team. Cleveland had no choice but to loose Boozer without compensation.
So ridiculous was Boozer’s behavior that his agent, Rob Pelinka, refused to represent Boozer in the future. Pelinka claimed to be on the Cavaliers’ side and was confused as to why Boozer did not honor his verbal agreement. In addition, after hearing the full story, Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller reportedly considered finding a way to send Boozer back to the Cavaliers."

only possible thing to be nervous about is our players doing the same thing.
True, but that's possible for every team. The Clippers play their starters more than any other team. They have zero bench. They gained Lance Stephenson and Pierce, but I don't seethat suddenly putting them over the top. Lance is team cancer and PP, as clutch as he is, is a horrid defender at this point in his career and can't put the ball on the floor anymore. Kawhi and Danny can handle anything they throw at us with those guys.

As you said, if you can't prove it, it didn't happen. You aren't a hypocrite or anything, so you shouldn't have trouble backing up that statement. A handshake agreement isn't a violation, it's just stupid if the person you agree with is a fucking liar with no sense of honor. Cleveland was stupid, and Boozer was a fucking liar.
either it happened or it didn't happen. IF it happened, yes Boozer could be a liar(or someone who happened to get a better deal) Since NOBODY can prove it happened, to the rest of the world IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Thus Boozer cannot even be suspected a liar.
Boozer knew exactly what the Cavs were going to offer the second they declined his option, because it was all they had to spend. He asked the team to respect him and give him long-term security, then he turned around and signed with Utah. These are not disputed facts by anyone but Boozer. His own fucking agent tried to talk him out of taking 27 million more, then quit before he signed it. His agent. The person who stood to make a lot of money off the bigger contract. Why do you think that is? :lol
LOL anyone but Boozer. there are only 2 parties in this matter. Boozer and the Cavs. :lol "anyone but Boozer"
His agent had a career and business with Cleveland, the owner and his friend owners. I'm pretty sure the agent was looking out for only one person. Himself.
Therefore, since we can't prove the "under the table deal" happened between Boozer and Cavs. He had the right to pick the better deal. He did. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't regret. it.
BTW even Lebron was quoted as saying "Booze is my friend and I told him to do what's best for his family"
this move was nothing but overblown gossip from the upset media since Darlin Lebron's team lost a big asset thus delaying his reign a few years.

Going to be awkward the next time he steps in the Mavs arena, no matter what jersey he wears. If he backs out his agent might not be able to work well with a few teams.

Mavs really get screwed as they lost all options to sign bigs assuming they had Jordan. It's just crazy that he would backout this late in the game. That said, Mav franchise has needed to blow things up for a few years now. They keep turning over their roster every year to ensure they get into the playoffs, but how many 8th seed/first round losses can you take before you realize that you need to try something else.

Not gonna lie, I was really hoping DJ would go to Dallas. As much as people like to scoff at the idea of the Clippers being a threat, they won 56 games last year and were 2nd in SRS. They added Pierce who is a big improvement over Matt Barnes, and also got Lance Stephenson to come off the bench. I know he was terrible last year in Charlotte, but he's not THAT bad of a player. Wouldn't surprise me if he had a bit of a resurgence with a better team. Throw in the fact that Griffin and DJ could improve a bit...I'd much rather DJ just go to Dallas and eliminate the Clippers as a threat.
I mean it's not the end of the world or anything, but it just makes the top of the West even tougher and more crowded.

He didn't sign anything. He has every right to back out and sign with the Clips.
Parson's got him drunk, helped him get his d sucked, and then it wore off and he realized... "oh crap... I actually have to play in Dallas"
good for him to wise up and get out
