LOL CLIPPERS

So is it down to the Spurs wanting something that Atlanta doesn't want to give up?

No idea. Maybe we're looking for a bench warmer or pick to come with it?

Or maybe Bud wants us to throw in Bonner. Pop will never go for it...

hope so. As opposed to atlanta wanting draft picks or something. They are already getting splitter on a cheap deal.

League rules, though, are clear: teams and players can not enter into oral agreements during the moratorium. They can only discuss terms.

The bottom line is no agreement reached during the moratorium is binding until signed after the moratorium. Players can change their minds.

Bush league. Can't believe I would say this, but I might actually feel bad for Cuban.

In hindsight, telling that Deandrejordan6 tweeted about U.S. Women's soccer team over the weekend. Not a peep about joining Mavs.

[FlAVaK]

That was a little different. Didn't the league own the Pelicans at that time?

think they where still the hornets back then, but yes...

[spursistan]

I know the Clips have no choice, but man all this kowtowing for a dumb mental weakling like he is modern day Wilt

Bud going back on that future 1st round pick he promised. Hey, if DeAndre can do it.

[NASpurs]

I'm guessing we'll know tonight what the Spurs get from Atlanta since the trade needs to go through first to clear cap space, right?

League rules do not cir vent state and federal laws. There is a clear effort of tort interference, which the mavs owner has already indicated he will pursue should this go the Clippers way. Jordan can still sign with the Clippers per league rules, but that does not preclude Jordan and the Clippers from having to pay damages.

[gambit1990]

seems like he'll be a clipper.

[BatManu20]

Broussard just reported that it was Deandre Jordan who reached out to the Clippers yesterday about having second thoughts...

[ElNono]

tbh, I want Jordan on the Mavs.... I think it would work better for us

trade needs to go through, then duncan needs to sign, then aldridge, then everyone else.

I agree. But I bet he goes back to LA now. Not sure if the Mavs will even make the playoffs now.

Link on Cuban threatening lawsuits? That would be awesome.

same here. it would be nice to have a weaker team in our division and a stronger one with the warriors, but i'd rather just have less actual threats for the WCF.

Thanks man

[AFBlue]

battling it out for a mental midget that will make them at-best the third place team in the west
thinking Paul Pierce can put them over the top
Blake not being able to handle sole big man duties
CP3 trying to woo a player who hates him
Doc needing this to prove he's not a failure as a GM...so bad his own player called him out

I could go on....

It makes the west a little easier overall to have D on the Mavs, but it might give the Spurs a much better shot at homecourt if Dallas is a garbage team and the Clippers are there in Golden State's division.

I don't know if clubs waive rights for these type of lawsuits per NBA rules. I would guess the league would have mandatory arbitration as opposed to lawsuits. It's bad for overall business.

It'd be tortious interference with prospective contract, and what the clips are doing isn't independently tortious.

[spursistan]

For Spurs fan antsy about this..Have you not watched how much ty, tired and lacking in killer instinct that we would have to be for the Clippers to eke out Game 7 win against us?
