Nah, if you go back and read the Aldridge mega thread everyone was excited when DJ agreed to terms with Dallas because it meant he wasn't going to New York. and thus the Knicks were going to poach Lopez from Portland.
Sorry, but it's the whole Clipper organization - players, owner and coach flew to Houston to basically hold Jordan hostage in his own home. Would'nt even let Jordan talk to Cuban to explain his change of heart. Total lack of character of all those involved, including Doc.
poor Mark Cuban, who's gonna take Dirk's torch into the 21st century??!!
lol
I have no idea where you were getting that from, because the Clippers matched Philly's offer and threw in a no-trade clause. He and his agent had also publicly announced that the reason he opted out of the last year of his previous contract was to give the Clippers cap flexibility to build around him. Oh, and he made us sign fat-ass Baron for $65 million. We got screwed worse than Dallas, to be honest.
lol mavs, too bad now they cant overpay lin
And again, this is a falsehood being pushed by a few of the more sensational reporters. It was DJ's choice to not talk to Cuban.
How many hostage situations do you know of in which the hostage's mother orders food for their captors, BTW?
http://blog.oregonlive.com/nba_impac...t_home_of.htmlThe Clippers' contigent had a short meeting with Jordan on Wednesday afternoon, when it became clear they didn't need to sell him hard on reneging on his commitment to the Dallas Mavericks, sources said. He had already decided to return to the Clippers. Before long, it was clear Jordan was committed to re-signing and some visitors started to play card games for the rest of the evening. Jordan's mother ordered out food for her Clippers guests, too, a source said.
It's stunning that people actually believe the Clippers were barricading DJ in his own home and not letting him talk to Cuban. Are you people out of your minds? It's obvious to anyone not blinded by hate that DJ was just using any excuse to avoid Cuban like the plague.
This - The actions of the Clippers organization were unreal. Lost all respect for the whole crew.Are you for real? Because the entire Clippers organization came running. Elton Brand and his agent never claimed to have made any verbal agreement, he just opted out to help the team sign free agents, and negotiations broke down after Baron Davis was signed. And nobody in the Sixers organization showed up at his house at any time, blocking representatives from other teams from getting in the ing door.
This will be the first time in decades I will actually be rooting for the Lakers in a game during the season. Clippers are a disgrace. And this opinion is coming in from so many sources. Former GMs, players, etc.
Ben Bolch @latbbolch
DeAndre Jordan's deal is for four years with an opt-out after the third year.

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
I've heard same as @sam_amick, who just tweeted DeAndre Jordan, in the end, is opting for a four-year deal as opposed to full five-year max
So again, why did all the bags convene in Houston?
ing Clippers, another team to worry about in the Western Conference. Now that the Clippers kept their team together and have legitimate wings in Pierce and Stephenson, they will be a top 4 team in the West.
Don't matter, CP3 is a choker. Won't make it past the 2nd round next season.
ESPN, the LA Times. Do a Google search. It's all over the place. Brand did announce that he was opting out to give them flexibility. Then they signed Baron and reportedly offered him less money and a take-it-or-leave-it message. Then Donald Sterling told David Falk that he was okay with Brand staying or going. The Warriors and Sixers didn't have any problem with Brand's injury, and they offered him more money. According to the LA Times, they couldn't offer brand more than five years and 70 million. Just found another LAT article that says Dunleavy renounced some players which is how he was able to up the offer to 81 million, which is ten mil less than Philly.
In no place anywhere is it reported that Brand verbally agreed to anything with the Clippers. They assumed they were going to sign him and managed to it up. This is not Cleveland and Boozer, by any stretch of the imagination. Anyone with a brain would have locked him up before getting Davis.
Yep. This is serious . I'm no Cuban fan, but this is bad for the whole league. Bad for the game. You just can't do business if you can't count on having an agreement with a player.
What if the Spurs meet the Clips in the first round again? Clippers improved in the offseason, no denying that. They can have Pierce making clutch plays if Paul shrinks again.
Why is Big Baby there?
Paul Pierce is a huge got. Can't wait for SA to beat up on the Clippers next season.
I knew it.... official beer of the Clippers..
ESPN said agent had to be there
The Spurs were coming off of a conference finals run and back to back finals. They were tired, very tired. LMA brings much needed hunger and energy to the team. I also expect Kawhi to keep growing on offense. I just don't fear the Clips, tbh. Spurs took them to 7 without HCA and it took a game winner for the clips to beat them.
Well you just blew your chance at the Mister Rogers "Won't You Be My Neighbor" award.
And here we all thought you were all nice, all the time.
This plus the addition of West is definitely better than adding Pierce for the Clips.
It's clear from all the tweets that Jordan was far from being the only immature piece of here.
El no-no is spot on. It's during a moratorium that per NBA rules. An rust laws exempts NBA, NFL , etc. From being considered monopolies. Cuban files suit then clips would invoke nbas mandatory mediation grievance procedure. NBA keeps power of the situation when compared to catching a presidentially appointed federal judge who may not be predictable and it keeps the nbas dirty laundry from being public record and a bigger spectacle. NBA is the house and holds all the cards.
Cuban is a smart business man. He won't waste money. He will chalk it up as a lesson learned and try to get revenge 10 fold. He strikes me as a vindictive cutt throat mfer if you cross him and leave a knife in his back.
It should be excellent entertainment for years to come. The drama Dallas is back in a sense. Let these two rich white men come to war over a whorish monkeyballer. Jordan's such a little and tease.
Also, Blake Griffin forgot to explain why that chair was placed in the room like that. Cause cp3 let Jordan face bang him cuckold style in the corner while the whole entourage watched. Apology accepted upon swallow I reckon
