This is a really bad situation but hey it's all business. Wonder what Doc would think if Popovich made a call to Pierce.

Mavs and Clips should each send their best 1 on 1 player to play for the right to sign DJ and broadcast it on NBATV.

So if DJ actually does go back to the clippers, What are the mavs gonna do with all that cap space?

No other star calibre players out there. Do they really just go for role players or blow it up?

Is this real life?

Like the NBA would have to stop this no?

This decision alone was a ripple affect to multiple decisions.

I can't even fathom the potential lawsuits that could result from Jordan reneging. So many moves made as a result of Jordan agreeing to this.


Unless there is a written contract negating oral agreements - that's the CBA. You've got to get the contract in writing.

I will have no respect for DJ if he goes back on his word and re-signs with the Clippers.

No, this has happened before. Hedo pulled out of a deal with Blazers to sign with Raps in 2009.

Didn't Boozer also do this to Cleveland?

I'd rather they send Mark Cuban & Steve Ballmer for a pay-per-view match for the UFC.

So is there any aerial footage of the cars all parked around DJ's house?

It's over. Doc/CP3/Blake are no match for Parsons' googly eyes.

If Jordan doesn't come to Dallas, Mark Cuban wants to tank. Where does this leave Dallas' agreement with Matthews? Dallas really won't want to pay Matthews in tank mode.

Boozer got out of his Cavs contract in agreement with the Cavs that he would sign a new contract but once he got out he bolted to Utah
