If true, we now have full reasoning to be pissed at the organization as well as DJ.

If true, Clippers are punks. Them and DJ deserve one another.

I expect next tweet to be: "Mark Cuban walks into meeting room, assaulted by Doc Rivers and Blake Griffin. Ambulance on the way."

I think the only classy way for this to end is with a massive bar brawl between the Clippers posse and the Dallas posse, complete with flying furniture and Cuban and Ballmer thumb wrestling for the drama queen under the table.

They'll jump him as he enters the room.

I'm convinced, this is a psy-op.

I've backed out of accepting a job twice, no one really cares. Counter offers are normal.

If the companies rearranged their entire priorities and personnel based on your acceptance, you'd be a punk too.

What sources are these though? There's 6 players and a coach/GM...so it's gotta be one of them leaking this right?

He saw Woj's tweet about the meeting still underway so he had to. :lol:

Seems DJ still hasn't made up his mind. This dude is worse than a woman.

any team who did something like that would be vilified and they'd be in effect blackballed by any FAs of note. DJ basically had the Mavs plan their FA commitments around his promise. Never mind losing players and the opportunity to pursue others, how about Matthews? Is it now ok for Dallas to say, well, we're going to tank so, sorry Wes, we can't give you that contract? Or do they have to honor that commitment? DJ is a complet ahole.

To be honest, with regards to Wes Matthews, I think the league (as well as the fans) would be more understanding if the Mavs pulled the offer. Without DJ, Matthews is just not really needed here as Dallas should tank. Sucks for Matthews if the Mavs pursued that route but he would be collateral damage here.

A 3 and D guy like Matthews would be an asset in Dallas regardless if they sign DJ or not.

Matthews won't hurt the tank since he probably won't play next year anyway.

Maybe CP3 has some good stories about the banana boat? Who are you to judge? :lol:

At this rate I will not be surprised if we there is a brawl between the two teams with DJ crying in the background unable to decide lol. It's gotta happen. I can also picture Doc at DJ's house telling Cuban to GT*O and not letting him in while Blake distracts DJ.

Only difference is there's twitter now and every meeting is being narrated in real time. But it's happened several times, including to the Clippers in a more franchise-crippling fashion than what the Mavs are suffering now.

This exact thing has never happened before. No player has ever been offered a max contract, accepted, and then changed his mind. Turkalo, who was hardly a franchise player, is the one player I know of who ever gave a team an explicit oral commitment and backed out. If this type of conduct was common, then no player, agent or team would trust a hand shake agreement and the current system would break down. The new rule would be that no agreement means anything until it's in writing. Players would eventually get burned by that approach.

Yes, yes they have, unless you want to get caught up in the max contract part. Bigger impact players than DJ did exactly this. Brand recruited Baron Davis who we proceeded to give a monstrous contract to, just before he was convinced by his agent David Falk that he'd be better in Philly. Go a few pages back and it's explained how McDyess did the same exact thing to Denver. And there's a few more like this that I won't bother to recount.

Even if any of those players were of the same quality as Jordan, you're talking about four times, league wide, in over a decade. That's not common. Look, eventually a team is going to do this to a player and all hell will break lose. Some team that already has trouble attracting FAs will agree to overpay some middling player, or declining veteran, a better player will become available and that team will bail in its commitment. Because really whats the downside for a team that already struggles attracting quality FAs if they're presented with a once in a decade opportunity? Those hand shake agreements are honored for a reason.
