Clippers with a bush league play.
However, Jordan has every right to change his mind prior to any contract signing. Jordan is supposed to have made a 'gentleman's agreement' but he's to dumb to figure this one out.
oh and manu's rights waived before LMA signs if they havent already been.

Should stop with those coquettish sentences, it's stupid, if Pop lost le by not foul he can lose anything to anyone... We still have big problem defensively against them, LMA doesn't change that...
Besides, in free agency, it is inherent that you interfere with other clubs in trying to woo the player to sign with your club. And since league rules mandate you can't have agreements until July 9, then I just don't think there is any cause of action. IF there was, I'm sure the league requires all teams to sign waivers of lawsuits so as to keep everything in the league, but there is no cause of action for this. I'm sure, though, knowing Cuban, he will do what he can to get revenge, one way or another. He is in a pissing fight with the Rockets and now the Clippers. Popcorn.
Novela Latina material I love it!
Doctor Rios= Andre Jordano please stay with us
Cristian Paulo= You are so special man I dont know why I treated you so bad.
Andre Jordano= Now Im engaged to Señor Cubano, he treats me good and has mucho fortuna.
Señor Cubano= Get out of my land you dont know who I am.
Doctor Rios has a weird complaining face...
Probably isn't much Cuban can do other than to try and blackball the agent representing Jordan and try and do the same for any agent that tries to represent Jordan in the future.
This all boils down to Deandre's belief in his own ability. If he thinks he's a centerpiece player, then Dallas is the place. If he thinks of himself as more of a complementary player, and then LA is the place. No one outside of Dallas believes Deandre is a franchise player, so most people are going to think DJ is going back to LA. I think he honors his commitment and tries to become "The Man" in Dallas. Plus, I think CP3 probably calls DJ a punk ass or something like that making the decision a little easier.
First thing I thought of
Pop never spoke to Arn Tellem (Murray's agent) again.
(Damn, I just read that Tellem is now working in the Pistons front office. Don't expect any Spurs/Pistons trades any time soon.)
Riskin breach of promise...
Did Chris Paul beg too?
seems pretty flimsy.
Agreed.
To prevail on a claim for tortious interference with prospective business relations, the plaintiff must establish that (1) there was a reasonable probability that the plaintiff would have entered into a business relationship with a third party; (2) the defendant either acted with a conscious desire to prevent the relationship from occurring or knew the interference was certain or substantially certain to occur as a result of the conduct; (3) the defendant's conduct was independently tortious or unlawful; (4) the interference proximately caused the plaintiff injury; and (5) the plaintiff suffered actual damage or loss as a result.
Don't see how the Clippers have committed an independent tort by flying to meet with DJ. There's also an argument that there's no reasonable probability (#1) since he's still under the moratorium.
Is he the idiot that overpaid Baynes?
Well, Cuban thinks DeAndre is comparable to Shaq.
And DeAndre said he's tired of CP3's constant barking, no worries Dallas..
Unless of course DAJordan had second thought about beating division rival SA now that West joined Aldridge,
Duncan & Kawhi
David AldridgeVerified account
@daldridgetnt Mavs especially salty about this since they've lost out on guys w/whom they thought they had agreements, like JKidd in '13 (signed w/NY).
Derek Fisher ran from Dallas too.
It's not about the Clippers, it's about DJ.
(1) Dallas would have chased somebody else
(2) change of mind = conscious desire
(3) that's where it becomes debatable, as DJ's behaviour could or could not be considered "tortious" [here it's important to note we don't know the full story yet]
(4) definitely caused Dallas injury
(5) actual damage real as other big men have already entered into agreements with other teams
If I'm the Mavs, I'm livid. Jordan is weak, Clippers are breaking unwritten rules, etc.
Given there are no other FA out there I'd want to sign (could give Kanter an offer sheet I guess), I'd go nuclear and offer David West a one year max. Throw the whole league into flux.
People here are right. This will tarnish Clippers and DJ's agent and make nobody want to deal with them.
Dallas is like that girl cousin we all have. Cute but somehow always ends up used and dumped.![]()
If it was ever a time to override someone for basketball reasons its this.
Yes, abut apparently DJ's agent pushed DJ towards Dallas (shares agent with Parsons and Howard).
If it's about DJ, then there's no tortious interference. You can't tortiously interfere with your own contract. They'd have to prove breach, which they can't, because there's no contract.
You can try to make some sort of promissory estoppel type claim, but good luck proving reliance.
