KOBE!!!

David West turns down a $12 million deal to sign for the veterans minimum of $1.5 million with Spurs
Sacrifice :accepted:

man the spurs are looking scary already

parker green leonard aldridge duncan

You know thorough history a lot of team looked scary on paper with new addition but things never materialized. Too early I think you gotta see them play together first.

Remember how most people (including me) felt when Lakers got Nash, Howard, Kobe, Gasol on the same team.

Or maybe I'm just never a big fan of the Spurs LOL.

That's true but I'm definitely excited to see what they can do!
Landing the biggest fish in the market to their already contending core. It was a well known fact that nobody in the West wanted to face them in the post-season and most breathed a sigh a relief when the Clips knocked them out with the miracle toss by CP3.

LOL Steve Balmer and the Clippers are trying to woo DeAndre Jordan back to the team.
Los Angeles Clippers lobbying DeAndre Jordan to back off deal with Dallas Mavericks

As much of a boss Mark Cuban is, Steve Balmer's in a whole new level. $3 billion net worth vs $21 billion. GG

Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

Haha this is hilarious. Read that Clipper reps won't let anyone else into DJ's house, including Mark Cuban.

This is some NWO shit going down right now lol... WOLFPACK?!
The Clippers brass (Doc Rivers, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Reddick and co) are literally camping out at DeAndre's house until midnight. Building a fort in the front yard!

Must 2000 hookers and $50 million of blow in his washroom right now.

It's official, DeAndre Jordan re-signs with the Clippers. Blake Griffin put a chair at the door and took away Jordan's phone so that Mark Cuban couldn't contact him.

I have lost all respect for DJ, don't commit if you aren't sure dumbass. I admire the Clippers dedication to getting DJ back but it was pretty pathetic to lock out Dallas in the final hours. LAC as an organization is a joke.

What a fucking ridiculous gong show the whole situation has been.

Can't wait until the first LAC @ DAL game of the season lawl

DeAndre probably the biggest troller in the history of NBA lol. Backs out last minute with Mavs.

I wonder what Cuban gonna say about this...

So Cuban got fined 25K for no reason
Super :troll:

edit. posted in the wrong thread lol

I wonder if 'Deandre Jordan' rule would be created after this gong show.
Other free agents did this before for sure, but this royally screw the mavs over.
And what a bitch move on DJ avoiding the mavs when he already knew he is going to back out on the mavs. At least man up and just be straight up with it.

This is much worst of a PR nightmare than the decision by lebron

Well anything goes till you sign the papers so nothing wrong with him changing his mind in that sense. Only thing is, he loses his integrity and once his deal/contract runs out, i'm sure teams will keep in mind what happened.

Real bitch move. I understand he left a lot of money on the table but why commit to a team so quickly...

Totally fair, but unethical.

This could set a very bad precedent moving forward.
Literally the ONLY serviceable big man left in the market is Kevin Seraphim, KEVIN SERAPHIM! I don't even know what team he played for last year, wasn't it the Wizards? He was like a 3rd string center that saw ZERO floor minutes.

Say Team A could have a pact with a player to screw over Team B.
- Player verbally agrees to contract with new Team B
- Team B stops shopping for other players because they are maxed out on cap
- Every other team starts signing 2nd and 3rd tier players
- Player backs out and goes back to original Team A
- Screwed over Team B now has a lot of cap open with garbage available players left in the market

This could be used to screw rival teams.

Ouch Joel Embiid out for the whole season again

Greg Oden 2.0?

At least Greg Oden played lol. Keep getting dem checks Embiid

the bone at issue is the same one that forced yao ming to retire. Doesn't look good for emiid

Josh Smith signing with Clips? The heck. Rockets made it quite deep in the playoffs and he's leaving them :pokerface: Clips have a good team but can never win in the playoffs.

Ya that was a surprising move, considering him and Dwight are like :gayfight:

To be fair. Nobody in that draft have stood out yet (and I don't think anyone will be a star) except wiggins and parker lol. While portland will always wonder what if they chose durant instead haha. Especially now that their team has been dismantled

Haha from hack a dwight/smith to hack a Jordan/smith.

I truly hope that when the mavs play the clippers in LA that they bore the fans in attendance by doing hack a Jordan/smith just because.

Gotta Hear It: New Lakers awkwardly silent when asked about Kobe - Sportsnet.ca
