It's all good. They resigned JJ Barea.

I could see Cuban driving by the house and launching some tear gas thru the window.

Broussard's sauces making him look completely unreliable again is another highlight of what's gone down today.

Don't get any ideas, Monroe. I already traded you to the Bucks in 2k. There's no going back now.

I bet they're just dunking on Dirk in 2K.

That Broussard doubled down on the "begging" Mark Cuban driving thru the streets looking for DJ's house makes this even better. Lol.

@JaredDudley619: RT @michaelsmith: But are they playing Spades or Boo Ray? Important detail ( clippers play Guts!! Lol real talk )

I'm certain Cuban has backed out of some of those overproduced, scripted Shark Tank deals before pen went to paper. Lol'ing.

I find Jordan and the whole situation kinda disrespectful and bush league. Like other posters have pointed out, it sets a bad precedent in the league. The 9 day moratorium needs to be done away with.

Cuban said Mavericks would tank if DeAndre Jordan didn't sign

Does Cuban now renege on offers made to follow what he said he would do here if they did not land a top FA?

The fall-out from this could be phenomenal. Imagine if Wes Matthews et al are now all back on the open market. Could have significant financial consequences. Someone tell Vivek to get on the phone to Wes!

This is easily my favorite offseason night as an NBA fan ever. The f*ckery has been just epic.

Apparently DeAndre may end up having a major beef with his agent if he signs this deal. He won't even answer his calls.

Honestly I wouldn't be mad at all if Silver rigged next year's lottery for Dallas. After this bull**** I really hope they get Simmons.

VooDoo7 · Post #3419 » by **VooDoo7** » Thu Jul 9, 2015 3:30 am

How awesome would it be if at midnight, DeAndre says "sike, I'm signing with Dallas".

this is why this is horrible precedent. this effects a lot more people than deandre jordan. if he wasn't ready, he shouldn't have verbally agreed with the mavericks. that's a huge no-no in not only the nba, but in all business.

just childish antics by jordan all around.

this whole situation has been pretty damn cringeworthy looking for the clippers/jordan.
