Pretty much everyone will have cap space next year though, so they'll be much less compe ive for free agents; purely a supply and demand issue. If I'm the Suns, I take Chandler as a defensive anchor and continue to run O through my guards. He's a nice piece for them even without Aldridge.
The kind of backlash I think he'll feel publicly and privately from his peers tbqh. Also wonder how FOs will view him after this.
I guess I don't get it. I would be embarrassed if I played for the Clippers and this was going down. To be honest, I would not want someone who walked away, to come back, nor would I be intent on begging. Says a lot about what Blake can't do on the court.
You agree to a deal, and the team stops working the FA market for your position. This is a bull situation. The league lets them strike deals, but it can only be a handshake, during the moratorium. So the teams are absolutely forced to put themselves in a vulnerable position? Who thought that up?
I'm no Mavs fan, but if Jordan does this to them he's an even bigger POS than I thought.
disagree - clippers teammates all are losers as well, and would do the same.
Agree that the rule put Mavs at compe ive disadvantage.
i believe that's called a truth bomb.
Clippers burning lots of bridges with this .
Honestly these immature players (and their bat crazy owner and GM) are playing with fire. They have no ing clue how ugly these facts could look before a jury or fact finder. Duress is not a game.
There is enough here in my view for Cuban to absolutely excoriate the Clippers before the media, and to bring a legal action based on tortious interference. Yes some (not all) lawyers earlier in the thread dismissed that out of hand, but it's a very fact intensive inquiry and these facts are ugly. And I have read the NBA cons ution, I doubt it covers the waiver of a claim like this.
This isn't a game. It concerns the livelihood of hundred million dollar franchises. I'm a spur fan for life, but I like Cuban and hope he retaliates with full fury. The press could get very ugly. Silver should be concerned about the backlash.
, I guess the Spurs have to worry that someone could still make a play for LMA and West? Man, if you can make a deal and have it mean nothing, the whole offseason process is ed. Players can lock up a deal, then go shopping for a better one?
Naaahh.... only the worst piece of players would even think that way.
LMA is already in SA to sign his contract.
You know when Pop and RC keep saying they only hire "character guys"?... well, DJ is not it...
Not only is he backing out of a verbal deal with the mavs he isn't even man enough to meet with Cuban and tell him face to face
Lets put something out on GOFUNDME for Cuban
Hey, isn't Chris Paul head of the Players Union? Awkward...
He's a pussy.
So he is going to sign with the clips?
And what about the fans who may have put down a lot of money to get season tickets based on the Jordan signing. I know two people who bought spurs season tickets after LMA signed and they told me the rep told them that they are selling allt and selling quickly. Imagine putting down 10k and then this crap happens and you become a lottery team
Enter Silver
