this Deandre situation sets a horrible precedent, NBA needs to fix this

It's a blessing in disguise for dallas imo....deandre is garbage.

Best big man left so far, they have to get him to make one last playoff run with Dirk.

yeah but fukk all that, they aren't winning a chip with him. And to give a big man who can't even score 10pts some nights 80 mill over 4 years....chill. If i were Dallas I'd say you know what we changed our minds too, good luck in LA.

The year Dallas won the chip they were an 8th seed and they had Tyson Chantler as the starting center. With the moves they signed they might pull some upsets and then who knows what happens in the playoffs.

I'm almost surprised it hasn't happened more often. Giving these guys a whole week to let them think about it and renege on a verbal contract. This really is grounds for a lawsuit if Cuban wants to take it there. Verbal agreements can be legally binding...

Can't force Jordan to play for the mavs through court though.

No, I absolutely do.

If we had other pieces in place (younger Dirk, solid wings, a half decent PG that can shoot and play PnR well), and were annually contending for a 4-6 seed in the West, he might be the final piece to get us over the hump.

As is, this team is in utter disarray and Cuban needs to realize it's over and time to rebuild.

I'd rather just be shytty and tank than constantly make the playoffs and lose in the first round. Prevents the team from ever acquiring any meaningful assets.

with no monta this aint a playoff squad necessarily. the mavs need a playmaker BAD



wanna take back cally?

 

[ThaRealness]

i agree. fukk the clippers.... they aint doing shyt everrrrrrrr

Op stfu

 

[Boogie]

So... haven't u made verbal agreements about joining a company and a few weeks later u take another job offer and it's the job u really wanted...

It's Dallas fault.... same as Phoenix when they made all those trades for LMA

Exactly. Wtf is the point of being an owner and general manager if you can't plan ahead?

Ok you wanted DJ...but there wasn't any thought something like this could happen?

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Cuban remember when you stopped CP3 from coming to my Lakers...

On behalf of every Lakers fan...

Eat my balls.... I hope Deandre pulls a 180 on his ass..


Side note, this is why NBA shouldnt allow handshake deals a week early, everyone is love dovey in the nba now and you can get your money from anywhere, so easy to have people change their mind. Set a date, have people sign papers yes/no, thats it.

Exactly. That fukker Cuban purposefully overpaid for Parsons just to screw the Rockets. fukk that racist cac.

 

[The_Third_Man]

high school recruits de-commit from colleges all the time. It happens everywhere and every time. It's not NBA thing.

 

[Forlife44]

Don't confuse me with @BrothaZay please (no offense )

These verbal agreements, and this dumbass moratorium period needs to go by next summer. Silver needs to fix this

Dallas proceeded moving forward thinking they had Deandre signed. They inked Wes Matthews, made trades to make this possible. Can completely alter the course of their franchise

Not to mention one big signing sets into motion a domino effect with other signings around the league

I know it's for good fukkery and it's great seeing Cuban get screwed... but nah

Reflects poorly on the league period

the NBA is basically saying your word don't need to mean shyt by condoning folks renegging on their deal.

It's not like this is the first time something like this has happened, Boozer did the same thing to Cleveland in 04

and to a blind man to add insult to injury

You mean like when the Rockets overpaid Lin just to screw the Knicks?

not garbage, but certainly not a player you build your franchise around due to all his deficiencies.
