Is DeAndre Jordan being held hostage right now or what?

[MantisToboggan]

the Sixers also have the right to swap picks with the Kings the next 2 years thanks to their robbery trade last week.

Ha, come on. You mean you wouldn't have made that move to give Rondo 10 million?

 

[celticGreen+]

Go back on your word; I get it - it's a big life decision... But TELL the team that you're gonna screw.

 

[Enfuego]

What a scumbag organization the Clippers are......Fuck you Doc Rivers.......I wish the worst for your team......1st round exit.

Bring back Donald Sterling.....LOL

Yeah, I don't know about that.

Jordan was the one that called Griffin and said he was having "second thoughts" at signing with the Mavs. At that point, I don't see the LAC at fault for pursuing him.

It`s all about the handshake......Be true to your word.......Not anymore,that`s changed also.

Yeah, but that's not the Clipper's fault. This is all D. Jordan's fault.

If he hadn't of contacted Griffin, the LAC would've stayed away. Kind of an unwritten rule. Guy needed to man up and at least phone Cuban.

 

[Shub]

Who the fuck cares anyway. Teams do the same thing all the time. He isn't even that good to be fighting over anyway lol

They go hand in hand....Clippers and Jordan and Rivers all working together.

Blake was going to be the center at 6'9.....Team was in trouble.

In my book the Mavs were betrayed.....Can't trust anyone this day and age.

Never mind, you're missing my point. The Clips were not involved until Jordan called them back. It's his fault. They accepted he was on his way to the Mavs until he called them. Cuban is not mad at the Clips, he's disappointed in Jordan that fucking bum.

I hear what your saying....I think it took some persuasion on the Clippers part to all of a sudden change this guys mind.

It don't take much....A few e-mails from Paul,Griffin and Doc can do it.

Hey Jord....What are you doing signing with that team?.....They suck,Elli is gone,Chandler is also gone team might not even make the playoffs....Come play with us,we were close last season we can make a run again next season.....lol.

i think nba will have to change their free agent policy. once a player is available he should be able to sign with that team right than and there. no waiting period.

Yeah with how long the moratorium is this was bound to happen eventually. Sure they will look into fixing it, Silver is very proactive.

DJs a huge bitch for doing that but as a fan I'd rather see him on the Clipps than Mavs next year. With Dirk in decline, Mavs likely would've been staying in place. Adding Pierce and possibly a better bench, the Clipps can contend.

 

[The Guesser]

Nothing particularly new. WR Emmanuel Sanders did the same thing to The Chiefs last year. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap20...el-sanders-deal-leaves-executives-crying-foul

This story is way overblown, mainly because it's summer and ESPN is short on big stories. Jordan got woo'ed by the Mavs and agreed to sign with him. Then he changed his mind, when the Clippers realized this they went all out from changing his mind again. Can't blame the Clippers for that. Mavs get royally screwed but to be honest can't fault Jordan too much either. He got cold feet and realized he might be making a big mistake and changed his mind.

If the NBA found some emails before this all transpired and found the Clippers and Jordan planned it this way all along to screw the Mavs.... then this would be a realy story!

Not for changing his mind but he is a vagina for not making a phone call.

lots of them in sports, especially the NBA

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Some of these reports are ludicrous. Chris Brousard acting like Cuban is driving around Houston trying to find his house. He is Mark Cuban. He can get any address he wants.

Whole story is overblown and honestly, the guy is not that good. He benefits from being the 3rd wheel. Worst case, Jordan could have just let Cuban know or even Ballmer could have let Cuban know. I think the whole thing about boarding up the front door is over the top. I'm sure Cuban was packing if he went to his house.

Would have been a great story though if Cuban got into the house with 6 Clippers and Ballmer there.
