Paul Pierce is washed up.....
Agent was suppose to be there when deal was signed he sent assistant
Agent and Jordan not getting along
Paul Pierce is washed up.....
Cuban is looking at all options
I suppose Pop didn't need to be the one making the inquiry, and RC is technically the one to make the decision.
LA sold there soul to the Devil...that's what happened
The Good ... The Bad... And the Ugly
What a twisted pattern of events.
Two Texas boys supposedly returning home to usher in a new era for fading greats in their twilight.
The Spurs do things the right way for a reason, and money doesn't buy loyalty.
I feel the worst for Dirk, he deserves better than this fate.
Dan fegan was sj agent

Teams leaguewide that have merely been watching this drama unfold are bound to join Mavs in the protest that surely follows. Because ...
It's probably slightly more after taxes in Texas though.
i guess ty lawson to mavs is happening soon
29 teams committing to hack a jordan all season long ...
Chris Paul's PR team going into reputation damage control mode. Don't want his sleazy character effecting his Geico endorsements.
This thread is so long, but did DJ actually meet with the Dallas group again? Or did he blow Cuban off when he arrived in Houston?
He wouldn't meet with Dallas. Wouldn't even take any of their calls.
Thanks for the update.
Keep it classy, DJ. Keep it classy.
seriously sounded like they kidnapped him. Even had a chair barring the door.
It's significantly more after taxes in Texas. There are even tricks where he may be able to avoid the non-domestic (i.e. non-Texas) source income tax from other states.
Exactly what I was saying last night. At a minimum league action will be taken on some level. Too much bad faith gamesmanship can result from a culture where players can easily break a verbal commitment.
I'm not sure I expect legal action in the courts or arbitration. But I do think promissory estoppel and tortious interference claims could get some legs based upon the ugly facts.
I'm sure they didn't physically restrain DeAndre, but he is a mentally immature soul and surrounding him and influencing him like they did is questionable and in poor taste. Too much money is at stake, as Clyde the Glide tweeted.
The upside to this is that league and legal action are probably not necessary. I expect the unwritten culture to largely remain, and players like DeAndre (and the GM/Owner) to suffer the consequences of their actions. Other teams will like LAC even less.
Cali has 11% income tax over $1 million. He'd make $78.3 million with LAC and $84 with the Mavs.
.... Affecting his STATE FARM ads.

Several GM's solution to changing moratorium: Push back start of free agency until now, once the salary cap numbers are calculated.
its hypocritical . If Cuban had decided to not fulfill his commitment to Matthews, players Union would be up in arms over this. Yet if a player does it, its there right to have a change of heart ...
This is the obvious solution. The way it currently happens is a fraught process. Easy to reform for the good of all. Likely to be opposed by the NBA Journalists' Union though.![]()
