LOL CLIPPERS

[picnroll]

How? Did he sign the papers with Jordan tonight? If he carried on with him as a client he has no grounds.

I said "could". If he continues acting as Jordan's agent obviously he can't. I read in one of these threads where Boozer's agent had the integrity to drop Boozer as a client when he signed with the Jazz. Didn't go as far as suing him but either out if integrity or not wanting to sully his reputation with all the other owners at least dumped Boozer.

[windboy226]

I assume he gets paid for the clippers massive contract and cuts his losses and fire his client. He can't really complain about it because any damages would be speculative and there was no Dallas contract, just a verbal intent. I think the agent is fine here. All evidence shows that jordan went straight to Doc and blocked everyone else afterwards.

If he doesn't fire Deandre the Mavs front office is will probably cut the close relationship they've had with Fegan for the last 15 years. Can't believe ANYONE would handcuff any organization like this. CP3/Deandre can suck a nut.

Hoping the Spurs roll the Clips and they all die ringless.

Yeah, but are you a good attorney? Just kidding. I'll defer to the attorney. Thanks for the info.

Like I said to Nono, though, the league is going to have to make a statement. And I don't think they'll reward the Clippers for a move like this. The collective weight of the owners has to be given some weight. And I can't imagine that any of the others are please with the prospect of this happening to them.

i think the league will make a rule going forward. I think other team owners will ostracize Clippers and Jordan.

[cutewizard]

oh

just entered the forum only to be shocked again, ahahah

what the ?

there is a term for it in spanish, its called DELICADEZA.......

translated into something like "sense of honor in interpersonal relations"

what the , this ing gorilla Deandre definitely DOES NOT have delicadeza.....

anyway, it doesnt matter, we are going to obliterate everyone....

[mbass]

It wouldn't shock me if this guy becomes broke after his career is over. The clippers are frightened that this guy could change his decision if he's left alone that in itself tells me this guy can easily be conned into losing his money.

A real low IQ guy in every way.

You do realize that DJ went crying to the Clippers, not the other way around, right? He was too much of a pussy to keep his word and too scared to leave LA and take on the responsibility of a so-called "franchise player" in the end. This is all on him. I know his camp is trying to spin it as the Clippers begging for him and his mean old agent trying to dupe him into going to the Mavs, but I can't believe people are actually buying that crap.

The scene at Jordan's home turned surreal in the wake of that revelation, as Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, coach and president of basketball operations Doc Rivers, forward Blake Griffin, point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard J.J. Re , and small forward Paul Pierce all gathered at the meeting to inspire this DeAndre double back and later stayed by his side at his home as the clock kept ticking. The Mavericks have been attempting to get another meeting with Jordan as well, but it appears all but impossible considering the company he's keeping.

You understand that Jordan's home is in Houston, where he lives and none of those other people live, right?

[cd98]

I'm not making excuses at all. DJ is the one making excuses for his cowardice by trying to deflect the blame onto his agent and his team. He's a mental midget who is too immature to take full responsibility for his actions.

He is a mental midget, but how do we know it was him that reached out and not his teammates. They acted more bizarre than him.

[cutewizard]

so, let us not fear the ing Clippers and just go on with Spurs business as usual...

i hope this makes us go "below the radar" once more

let the accursed Clippers get all the attention


(ugh, i hate those Chris Paul commercials in NBA TV!!!!)

[Clipper Nation]

i think the league will make a rule going forward. I think other team owners will ostracize Clippers and Jordan.

This league is a joke if they ostracize an entire franchise for one player being an immature piece of . Especially when the Lakers weren't ostracized after Kirby raped, the Blazers weren't ostracized after the Jail Blazers era, etc.

[Mr. Body]

i think the league will make a rule going forward. I think other team owners will ostracize Clippers and Jordan.

How are they going to ostracize them? This is why I think the owners will decide on a punishment in draft pick(s) and money. I know you'll say this is unenforceable, but the Clippers will take it as price of readmission into the gang. There's league-wide comity of importance.

[Obstructed_View]

Am I the only one who thinks this is hilarious and Lmao eat Cuban?

No, you aren't. Part of me thinks this is excellent karma for Cuban's done in the past. But I'm also going to really enjoy when the Karma bites the Clippers in the ass.

[cutewizard]

peste DeAndre Jordan,

lol

Don't be a dope. Jordan is one of the least badly behaved people involved on the Clippers side tonight.

[cd98]

which then raises the question whether he was really "freezed out" or he stayed out to save face with Cubes... don't forget he gets more money if DJ goes back to the Clips...

Yep, hard to say. But an agent doesn't want to piss off all the other owners. That's bad for future business.

[GSH]

Plus the commissioner can simply say there was no wrongdoing, and the decision would be final.

Just as likely, the commissioner could say that the Clippers needs to compensate the Mavs. And that would be final too.

Commissioner is king, basically.

That's the ultimate truth bomb, right there. No doubt about it. And now that I think about it, they would never let Cuban go rogue with a lawsuit. Even if he had grounds, they keep stuff in-house. And it probably needs to be that way.


But I still think Cuban will find some way to make a statement. Create some kind of circus sideshow involving the Clippers and/or Jordan. He'll pay the fine, just to get a shot in. Sterling will be livid. I'll think it's funny. At least that's what I'm hoping for. I don't like Cuban, but he's got style on stuff like this.

[mbass]

Curious about the fallout. I see draft picks going to the Mavs plus money. I wonder if en gets any grief. Cuban will have it out for Ballmer. Amazing situation. Feel for Dirk, I really do.

Same here - Dirk is a really good guy and deserves the best.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm assuming there is a binding agreement between Fegan and Jordan that Negotiations are to go through Fegan and it's Fegan's reputation and relationships that's on the line. This may not hurt him but certainly isn't going to help him in future negotiations

[Clipper Nation]

You understand that Jordan's home is in Houston, where he lives and none of those other people live, right?

And? He begged them to come to his house and meet with him because he backed out of the deal with Dallas. He also cut off all communication with Dallas yesterday, apparently.

It's very obvious that DJ did (ironically) the same thing Elton Brand did to the Clippers - gave his word to one team, decided he made a mistake, backed out of the deal, turned his phone off and hid from his now former team, and signed elsewhere. Back in the day, Brand got all the blame for that little maneuver. Why it's somehow not DJ's fault now is beyond me.

[mbass]

This. Unbelievably classless. Do these idiots think people are going to forget this ?

Fans won't forget this - just as they haven't forgotten Boozer and Brand.

[Strategic]

Damn Clips

Cuban should just text good riddance to the wishy washy turd. This change of heart is worse than Caitlyn's, unless your a left coaster.

[ElNono]

Yep, hard to say. But an agent doesn't want to piss off all the other owners. That's bad for future business.

It has happened before. baseline bum was just giving an example that happened to the Spurs in '99. Pop never did business with the agent (Arn Tellem) anymore.

Bull . DJ orchestrated the whole thing because he was too chicken to keep his word or even tell Cuban he changed his mind. It's all on him. End of story.
