Feel bad for dem Mavs tbh, I can laugh at CP3 and Doc getting screwed over but ruining the last few Dirk years like this is a pretty fucking big deal. Spurs would've been in this situation had LMA left after the Splitter deal. Plus the Mavs with DJ were going to be an easy out in the playoffs anyways.
Also, this sets kinda a bad precedent. I know it won't happen, but what if the Hawks decide that the deal for Splitter needs a sweetener? We're basically at their mercy because we absolutely need to move Splitter and they probably know it.
Nonetheless, fuck Mark Cuban
I think this goes to show overall that the moratorium is retarded. Can't sign deals or make verbal agreements, but can 'agree to terms'. What a joke. Something like this was bound to happen with the was FAs act like divas today.

Cuban is a douche but the Clippers are playing dirty hounding a guy after he made a commitment. Hopefully the NBA will allow players to sign as soon as free agency begins next year to prevent this bullshit.
meh, if he really wants to play for the mavs he willQuote:

Imagine if LMA announced he was going to meet with the Blazers tonight :lol
I feel sorry for em. This is like one of the unwritten rules. It can really screw with a teams free agency period. Fucked up, DeAndre Jordan will be the most hated player in the league.

Yet another good use of my avatar. Still not a sure thing though.
Actual contract cannot be signed until July 9th. Until that date a verbal commitment was all the Mavericks could obtain.Quote:

I'm no fan of Mark Cuban in any way, but I wouldn't wish this on any team. This is seriously fucked up.

So far, Clippers able to keep everyone else out of house, including Cuban, agents. Everyone. They're in four-corners until midnight Eastern.
Totally agree... A man's word doesn't mean shit anymore... This low iq baller...Quote:

Screwing with the Mavs and Cuban belongs to the Spurs. It's like stealing off of Dexter's table.
Not enjoying this, tbh, but I am looking forward to Cuban/Parsons backtracking on their "best C in the league" comments and calling him a piece of shit to the media :lol
Cuban will get his revenge. He's not the type to forgive this kind of thing.
Ballmer seems like the same type. Could be interesting (on and off the court).Quote:

I couldn't be possibly enjoying this any more :rollin
Total bitch move by Jordan.
I agree. I feel really bad for the Mavs because they really don't have a back up plan. This is not right.Quote:

What a piece of crap dirtball. This will end up biting him in the ass.
No sympathy for DJ anymore when his knees shake after the hack-a.
I feel sorry for neither the MFFLs nor the blowhard owner Mark Cubes.
The only way they ever won anything was because Michael Jordan is a worse front office executive than MC. Total fluke title for Dallas as it turns out. Asterisk situation of the highest order.
Once again the Mavies flawed FO hierarchy bites them. I would consider this Jordan cluster a self inflicted wound because Dallas continues to ignore drafting and player development. The Mavericks probably babied Jordan and promised him things they could not deliver anyway. Cuban overplayed his hand (again) and called Jordan a guy who can be "the face" of the Mavericks franchise for years to come. You don't hand over the car keys of an NBA franchise to a mental midget.
Mr. Cuban refuses to put the work/emphasis/effort into locating, drafting, developing, and retaining home grown talent. Dirk is the last guy to work out in the draft while the Spurs have their draft picks not only on their team, but many other guys SA drafted originally are scattered all over the league and playing roles.
The Spurs, for the first time, went out and bought a player outright. The years and years of effective planning, drafting and coaching paid off in getting LMA to come here.
This thread is hilarious . Also OP's signature is awesome.
This is a good thing for the Mavs in the long-term. They overrated Jordan as a way to patch over a rotting lineup. This will let them tank faster and rebuild faster.
Jordan's word ain't worth shit. Sets a bad tone for future players.

DJ not signing is good for the Mavs in the long run. They were gonna be pretenders. However, this may signal the end of Dirk's playoff career as a Maverick.
I agree. I have no idea why the Mavs would even sign Jordan to a max contract. They sure as hell weren't going to ring with him anytime soon and he's to weak offensively to build around.Quote:

Feel bad for the Mavs. No team deserves to get screwed like this. This has to be really killing Dirk, who has poured his heart and soul into that organization.
Totally uncool.
More of this guy...

This is the absolute truth. DJ is bitch made. His word means nothing. First he ran away from the "tyrant" Chris Paul who would not give him high fives. Then calls to say he's having second thoughts about a decision he made. Does he think that he's gonna be welcome back with open arms. to the contrary he's a punk that could not make up his mind. Not to mention that the entire league is going to see him for the sackless piece of trash that he is.Quote:

Terrible from Jordan. Mavs should send Dirk to SA to finish off his career on a high. We'll give them Bonner in return. Do it Cubes, call RC and get it done.
Jeremy Lin just signed with the Hornets.....
In all seriousness, Dallas really needs to jettison Dirk to a good situation and blatantly fucking tank. I don't think anyone would begrudge them that after this.
Dirk gave away all that money....to probably miss the playoffs. Man, I feel sorry for him. As others said, Cuban should trade him to anyplace Dirk wants to go...
Dirk is going down w/ the ship ala Stockton.Quote:
