I believe it's 90% of the cap, so $63 million.

I'm just going to re-request my raise for Dirk. Your reward for multiple pay cuts and winning a championship is Chandler Parsons coming off of micro-fracture surgery and Wes Matthews come off of a torn Achilles.

Well, the future that a player like Deandre Jordan gives you. Chandler is on the wrong side of 30 in the nba. As he ages, his defense is only going to get worse. Like I said, the mavs saw an opportunity to upgrade. They did, but they weren't aware that they were just being played by a western conference rival. I can't blame them for trying.

I get it but at some point you have to be realistic. Sorry, I'm venting. Fire Donnie Nelson and Cuban out of a cannon for how they've handled Dirk's twilight years.

Out of something good for the mavs, this pic they just tweeted is amazing. Think I might use it as my next background.

are the keeping Dirk's corpse on ice?

 

[Uno Venova]

Never forget that in 2011 the Dallas Mavericks saved the NBA.

I'll have to keep that happy thought for the next few years.

 

[victreeb3l]

Come on Phil you didn't bring Linsanity back. For that bargain.

Seriously. WTF we had the cap space.

 

[CrocMother]

Damn gotta get me some of those Dirk 41's

 

[jmizzal]

this is literally the worst. Hoping for nothing but bad things for DJ and the Clippers from now on.

They are the Clippers what worst can happen lol

 

[Heel]

Powerful tweeting from Blake. There's no emoji in the world that can save Cuban now.

 

[TheSadRanger]

We're working on clones, a full team of Dirks playing all positions at different stages of his career.

That's the plan until Max Nowitzki is old enough to play.

There is one. 🍆

 

[Shamrock7r]

Come on baby. Dirk to SA

 

[darkside31337]

Hornets got Lin for 2 years, ~$4m...kind of shocked, that's a cheapo deal.

Yeah its kind of crazy. Guess he just wanted out of the limelight and wanted to try to actually stick around in a city for more than one year.

 

[jmizzal]

Cuban will just go in tank mode

 

[CrocMother]

Cuban will just go in tank mode

And the coach will leave. Good times!

 

[Resilient]

I want to see Cuban go into ballistic mode. Is the Mavs 15-16 season really over already?

 

[LyleLanley]

Cuban will just go in tank mode

What does he do with Dirk then?

More importantly, how does Danny Ainge take advantage of this?

"An mavs fan for life"...?

A job opening?

 

[bender]

One step closer to a new GM.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

And the coach will leave. Good times!

The swerve of swerves: Carlisle to coach the Clippers.

"It's me, Cuban! It was me all along!"

 

[TheSadRanger]

So that Tyson Chandler tweet. Is that him saying "okay" to the Suns or "peace, like peace out" ?

LOL. Doc goes full GM with Carlisle coaching. Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So what reason do the Mavs have to sign Matthews coming off achilles tear if they going to tank?

 

[ViciousDS]

Got to reads in order breh!


Suns, peace

 

[CrocMother]

Is that in moratorium too?

Hopefully rubbing Cuban's nose in it.

At least Dirk's movie comes out on the 10th. Highlight of the off season.

So what reason do the Mavs have to sign Matthews coming off achilles tear if they going to tank?

Need to chew up cap space and they don't really need any more negative press with regards to how they treat free agents.

 

[darkside31337]

So what reason do the Mavs have to sign Matthews coming off achilles tear if they going to tank?

I mean they don't but I really can't see them backing out of a deal. Would be hard for Mark Cuban to be all outraged and shit if he screwed a guy he already said he was going to sign too.

 

[Enron]

None. But if THEY renege on a deal to a player, the NBAPA and every agent around will make sure that NO ONE worth a fuck signs with the Mavs, or any other franchise that pulls that shit.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Got to reads in order breh!


Suns, peace

But what does the peace mean? That he's in with the suns or out? Don't you say peace typically when you leave.......

 

[CrocMother]

I mean they don't but I really can't see them backing out of a deal. Would be hard for Mark Cuban to be all outraged and shit if he screwed a guy he already said he was going to sign too.

Who is to say Matthews wants to play there anymore? Lakers look pretty good compared to the mavs now

 

[Tom Penny]

What does he do with Dirk then?

More importantly, how does Danny Ainge take advantage of this?

If they move Dirk will battle the 76ers and Portland for the number 1 pick and fuck the Celtics. I want to sign Joe Johnson just more or less guarantee a lottery pick from the Nets.

 

[GaimeGuy]

So what the HELL is going on in LA

 

[BobLoblaw]

So basically, the only thing Cuban will have gotten out of all of this is time wasted and a $25,000 fine? Hilarious!

 

[ViciousDS]

But what does the peace mean? That he's in with the suns or out? Don't you say peace typically when you leave.......

Nah, he's staying lol that was a peace out

Dirk would need to request the trade and that will not happen. No one would blame him though.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 1m1 minute ago

ESPN sources say Mavs owner Mark Cuban has begun to notify people within the organization that DeAndre Jordan is staying with Clippers

 

[Enron]

Dirk isn't going anywhere. Even if they are tanking. Cuban doesn't have it in him, and Dirk would just about play for free to stay in Dallas.

 

[GaimeGuy]

all we need is the police to show up and charge the clippers with kidnapping

 

[TheSadRanger]

wow, Clippers better decide to skip their games at AAC, I could see it turning into malice at the palace 2.0

and they don't have Matt Barnes anymore..

 

[dream]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m1 minute ago
DeAndre Jordan needs an agent certification on contract, invalid without it. Agents are expected to join Clippers, Jordan tonight at house.

oh man, DJ's going to drag Fergan in, force a signature, then make him do the walk of shame past all his friends.

Dude can't even get the city right!

 

[Bread]

i guess this helps the celtics, but fuck this shit. jordan sucks.

 

[Uno Venova]

And surprise Cuban was in the agent''s briefcase.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol so true.

TT can still eat a dick if he thinks he can get that 5 yr 90 mil

I hear Dallas has a lot of money to give away

No thank you.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

At least Mavs have some trade assets in Parsons and Matthews if he can play at that high level again.

 

[Fjordson]

Lame. Feel bad for Mavs fans.

 

[LyleLanley]

Parsons for Phil Pressey and some 2nd round picks, who says no?

"Yahoo Source: Clippers, DeAndre Jordan meeting was short. It was clear he was returning to them. Then they started to play cards." - Woj

Wait, is that meant to be taken literally?

 

[Cheddahz]

I heard that strip poker does take awhile...

We had a good run. Feel bad for Dirk instead.
