What about sizzlers? Funny as a kid you like that stuff as a man tough to stomach a low rate steak ... unless it's with eggs late night in Vegas ...

[The Gemini Method]

Unfortunately, no. What a sweet set up. Those buttered buns, I'd always eat mine and Girl's there and then at home. A cheap cut of steak, yes, but, it was tasty. A real baked potato, not microwaved. I just knew it couldn't last. And it didn't.

R.I.P the steakhouses of yore...r.i.p tha Sizzla

Not as loud as emoji's though, apparently.

[baseline bum]

What do you mean, bum? Seriously.

LMA and Brandon Knight share the same agent, and I think the agent was doing them a solid for throwing $70 million at Knight.

Last time I heard of Ponderosa was when the DC sniper killed someone there tbh

[Killakobe81]

damn banana?

WTF? that's ed up to Deandre

Nah that is a play on the Paul, Lebron Wade ridding to gabrielle Union ... Maybe Paul offered him Wade's seat next vacay ...

I never bought that it was 50/50 LA stuff or Toronto, PHX etc thathe had on his list it was ALWAYS Spurs with the Lakers with an outside "puncher's chance" but he wanted to be sucked off and enjoyed teh attention. Again that was his right and it was no where close to this Deandre wafflin' but just saying ...if his heart was in SA why the drawn out bull ? he wanted his ego stroked.

Because sometimes with haste decision making it can go very wrong. Similar to the 3rd grader rushing through his math test quickly because it's so easy. Then afterwards, he missed a couple questions with stupid mistakes. If we take into account that for the sake of argument that you are correct that he wanted to have his ego stroked, that still doesn't alleviate the potential of making the wrong decision despite ending up where you had in mind the entire time. I don't think there's anything wrong with checking out the rest of the women as perhaps there may be things about them that you didn't see before. Even if you're sure, be completely sure.

I never liked the Sizzler, they'd make no pretense of ripping you off. Ponderosa - Bonanza steakhouses were up front and honest. Their chopped steak was delicious. Then you'd sit in the midst of old west chairs, tables and pictures.

Go home, 3 hours later? A satisfying BM. Just cleaned ya out totally.

[Spur-Addict]

So Cuban gets fined $25k for talking about a deal that wasn't finalized but the Clippers won't get punished for lobbying a player who already made a verbal commitment to another team?

Compelling

Like the kid analogy but I have no beef with him making the choice he made or dancing with other chicks at the club then going hom to his new wifey. Just saying I think his other interest was bull but that's on those teams Liek the Lakers for continuing to believe they had a shot.

[BatManu20]

Giving him the Spurs' treatment. No way he turns them down, imo.

[AlexJones]

Honestly, this is on DJ. He could've shut this down by refusing to take a meeting with the Clippers and letting them know his decision is final. He needs to grow the up and honor his commitments.

I'm fine with him walking away and us finishing 11th in the West next year.

True, I wouldn't mind accelerating the rebuild.

[Findog]

At least you are real Findog I heard the local sportstalk talking 5th 6th seed if the recoveries went well. My guess is that is part of the clips pitch. We got Pierve. we Know how to beat the Spurs you get a extra 20 million to offset state tax ...Mavs still rebuilding we ready to to take on Spurs and Warriors ...

Yeah, the West is too stacked for the Mavs to get higher than a 6th seed assuming DAJ ultimately signs with Dallas. They're ed at C if he reneges so that would make them firmly a lottery team.

He's an adult who made a $90 million commitment. He needs to grow the up and honor it. This is immature beyond belief on his part and all sorts of sleazy and slimy on the Clippers part.

[The Gemini Method]

LOL I just mentioned them ...

Seriously. I know! I was like well Killa mentioned them. It used to be my pops' favorite place when he was alive. It was the only place he'd want to go for his bday. He cooked a better steak but loved that all-you-can-eat salad bar. Memories yo. That cheese bread is a Lipitor's best friend though.

[Killakobe81]

It's the smart play ultimately but agin Dirk is the one I would feel bad for ... I get he makes plenty of $ and already has a ring ... but dat aint right he took less and now he suffers. Cubes should give him a one year Wade/kobe level extension tbh. Hazard pay.

No Ponderosas out here on the West Coast. Pretty much it was Sizzla or Norm's or you was ballin' and Ruth Chris was the other extreme.

My statement you just responded to is in regard to LaMarcus Aldridge. I'm totally in agreement with you in regards to Jordan. He made a commitment, you honor it like a gentleman.

I'm ing worried about Cuban sending Dirk to Cleveland as a thank you.

[BatManu20]

A lot of people calling the Clippers sleazy, and to some extent it is, but all is fair in love and war, imo. When it comes to compe ion, you do what you gotta do. And the Clippers basically HAVE to do this, or they fall off the face of NBA relevance again.

[Killakobe81]

Cubes could make a trade assets are limited but if they dont want Dirk to suffer a rebuild maybe Anderson and a future first gets them ...well not Cousins but a decent big?

[DPG21920]

The Mavs would be in a total free fall if DJ says no. They'd have no PG, no C and no bench to go along with only Dirk (aging), Parsons (knee surgery) & Wes (achilles surgery). They would be gutted with only min level players to fill out their roster.

Fair enough. If you truly believe that, then you are justified if he truly had zero inclination whatsoever towards any other team.

Okay my bad. Sorry.
