Now, if Jordan goes back to the Clippers, why would we give that contract to Matthews? But if we don't, how can we say anything bad about the Clippers or Jordan? So DJ really puts our organization in a very tough spot, and in more than one ways if he goes through with this.

Considering that he's drawn some pretty decent interest, it would be wisest to still sign Matthews then look to trade him later

Biggest heel turn in the NBA since Lebron James in 2010.

Clippers should owe Dallas money + picks IMO if Jordan goes back.

Members of DJ’s family also reached out to family members of other players over the weekend. DJ’s family wanted him to stay in LA.

So DJ's mom was crying tears of sadness when he signed? Because Parsons said that she cried when he made it "official" with him and Cuban when they were at his house in Houston.

Totally. I have to give a big thank you to DeAndre Jordan for providing some laughs on what's been a rather dull day at work. Thank you!

Source close to #Clippers tells me that DJ reached out to Doc Monday night saying that he made a mistake

Let's not forget that Cuban also got fined during the FA period, so this entire debacle at least cost him 25k.

From an SI article.

2. Why didn't the Clippers just take their loss and move on?

In a word: desperation. As former NBA executive Bobby Marks noted on Twitter, pursuing a free agent after he's committed to another team is a "big violation" of the NBA's unwritten rules. This is, without a doubt, the type of move that can leave a lasting mark on an organization and a general manager.

DeAndre probably said to himself, "we beat the spurs last year. I don't see the Mavs beating the Spurs with Aldridge."

It could be worse. Would could never win a flop off against the Spurs. They would even add several facial expressions to every flop.

The original NWO came and conquered (wade, lebron, bosh).

This is just the cheap knockoff version which was never as good as the original.

My work production is now down to 0% because of DeAndre Jordan, thank you so much.

But seriously, if he goes back to the Clippers all Hell will break loose in the NBA. :banghead:
