It would hurt DA's and the Clippers reputations. Not the agents.

You really couldn't be more wrong. Fegan would get killed over this. Especially when you consider his history with the Mavericks organization.

But he would have to immediately dump Jordan as a client and even then he's going to have a very difficult time convincing teams he had nothing to do with this. Will absolutely hurt him.

If Jordan signs with Clippers, expect Fegan to immediately announce he dropped him. He'd have no other recourse.

Key component in Clippers' attempt to change DeAndre Jordan's mind: they weren't happy w/ how Mavs recruited in 1st place, so...War of Roses

yeah its not fair you took it seriously and we half-assed it. I mean what could they possibly beef about? That we told him he was better than he really is? Cuz that only happens with every FA ever.

Should have lobbied him before he made his decision.

If this happens Cuban should just sell the team. It would be the biggest rebuke of him and his stupid "businessman" shtick that he's played up over the years.

This is how I'm seeing it.

There already rumors that Clips went around Fegan to talk to Jordan. There is really nothing he can do. DJ is the client, he dictates where he signs.

Because he has several clients that currently play for the Mavs. Including Satnam Singh who the Mavs drafted as a favor to Fegan even though the Mavs know he'll never play in the NBA. The Clippers would like never be able to sign another Fegan client if DeAndre changes his mind.

I guess my point is why would the Mavs be mad at the agent that the client changed his mind?

The agent is not supposed to convince the client of anything. It's the agents job to bid on behalf of the client. The relationship between the two dictates who makes the decisions.

The agent should advise DJ how this would hurt DJ's reputation, but it's DJ's decision to make in the end.

It's a classless move by the Clips that breaks unwritten rules.

Not sure what Ainge has to gain?

Don't the Celtics have the Mavs pick?

LOL

That is just pure comedy. So they were unhappy that Dallas put more effort and time to woo him and now they decide to wake up?

Because the agent probably drove DAJ to Dallas in the first place? Fegan has Parsons and Barea there already. Parsons is opting out next season, you know who won't bring him back if Jordan goes back to the Clippers? Dallas.

I am unaware of Fegans history with the Mavericks.

I just don't know how somebody would jump on an agent for fulfilling his contractual duties. His client may make a stupid classless decision but it's his job to implement it.

What unwritten rule? Isn't this the whole point of the moratorium? This isn't like reneging on a trade, where both sides have agreed to terms. The Clips aren't a party to the Mavs' gentleman's agreement w/ Jordan, so they're not bound by it.
