LOL CLIPPERS

[Obstructed_View]

It's clear from all the tweets that Jordan was far from being the only immature piece of here.

But unlike any of the other things mentioned, only one side is in the wrong here. The Mavericks did absolutely nothing wrong or untoward. They negotiated in good faith and thought they locked him up. I'm unsure how DJ's agent doesn't end up in really bad shape after this.

DJ gonna be 29 teams Pinata next year

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?

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.

Wow... How many Clippers does it take to not answer a phone or not answer a door.

I think if both parties just relaxed and popped in a tape of Jordan shooting free throws he might become a hot potato.

"Youch, you hold it, no you..."

This plus the addition of West is definitely better than adding Pierce for the Clips.

Yup, West and Manu should do some damage off the bench.

Danny Green @DGreen_14
80 in Texas is a lot more than 80 in California lol

[Dverde]

He upset the basketball gods. Clippers not winning . Just like Boozer and Brand. Doc is the ultimate snake oil salesman. They should have held out until next offseason. DJ not worth the max. Either team loses to the Spurs anyway.

Humidity of course

[RD2191]

Gawd dammit, does Green enjoy getting on by Pop?

[Aztecfan03]

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.

And if you go back, Lopez had already agreed with knicks as long as knicks couldn't get DJ. Knicks still wouldn't have gotten DJ, so lopez was theirs.

[Dverde]

DG is right. Why not sign for more money. That was the advantage the clippers had over the mavs. What an idiot.

[Aztecfan03]

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.

sounds more akin to Lebron leaving the heat.

He don't do maf.

(Jordan, not Danny. chill.)

agreed. Not sure about the agent. He wasn't actually their for the signing. someone else from the firm was.

[Johnny RIngo]

First thing I thought of

Pop never spoke to Arn Tellem (Murray's agent) again.

(Damn, I just read that Tellem is now working in the Pistons front office. Don't expect any Spurs/Pistons trades any time soon.)

I find that hard to believe considering he was Pau's agent last summer(when the Spurs were trying to convince him to sign here):

"The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs have inquired with Gasol's agent Arn Tellem, expressing an interest, sources said, but the Spurs can't become a legitimate suitor unless Gasol significantly drops his asking price."

[rastaspur]

I guess cp3 is already on the offensive and generically denying that Jordan face ed him tonight to square things. 10-4 , cp3. We won't assume it to be true just because you are a little .

[Beaverfuzz]

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.

And even that shouldn't have happened. Spurs choked away game 6 and ed up their chance at destiny.

[Aztecfan03]

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...

nope only signing for 4 years.

[RD2191]

And even that shouldn't have happened. Spurs choked away game 6 and ed up their chance at destiny.

Yup.

[rastaspur]

After how this played out, this might have been the greatest troll job ever or a case of butthurt between Jordan and cp3 the likes of which have never been seen. move anyway you spin it or dissect it though. Hilarious.

[SpursBig3s]

in for later

+ Pop going soft and in shameless vacation mode, bearhugging Doc Rivers pre- and post match with zero compe ive edge in him..Next year he'll be coaching..
