what a schmuck
I feel like DeAndre is going to get booed in more places than just Dallas
tell that to literally every other free agent this off-season and the organizations that stopped pursuing them once they had a verbal agreement in place

Meh other than not returning Cuban's call which was bitch made he can pick another team. He never signed the dotted line. Verbal agreements don't mean shit in big business.
That isn't a joke? That's real? I'm trying to think of a worse contact but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Very eloquently put by Parsons. I can't believe this whole situation has me feeling bad for the freaking Mavs. Fuck DA.
Anyway, just wanted to mention that Timmy's unselfishness knows no boundaries. Simply incredible. Truly one of the greatest in every aspect.

Those are the breaks. Frank Gore had verbal agreement with the Eagles. Instead he called up Andre Johnson and basically said let's both go to the Colts. Shit happens.
sure, shit happens. however that shit that happened made deandre look like a schmuck.

What the fuck. Giving players max coming off injuries like that.

I still put a lot of the blame on the Clippers, if they wanted to keep him that badly than why didn't they put all that effort in at the beginning. Shits sketchy as fuck........
Also if the draft is going to suck this year like 2013's draft then I wish that they would go ahead and let the pick go to Boston. Only tank if it's a stacked draft like 2010 where you can get a John Wall or Demarcus Cousins.
Well DJ is the one that call them back lol

I think they overestimated DJ's maturity. It's clear that the Mavs really weren't for him, but he's apparently easily influenced by flash and hard sells.
I don't think anyone can name 5 players that had achilles and came back the same. Incredibly stupid.
He's restricted so offering the max is about the only way they even had a chance to steal him away.

Roy Hibbert trade confirmation Lakers trading away a 2nd round pick.
lol even the Kings were only willing to pay 4/64

What time is it?
Well, "sources" said Deandre would join the Mavs if they landed Wes. Wes also agreed to take less money if Deandre would join the team. Now that Deandre is out of the picture, I don't see a problem with rewarding Wes' loyalty especially when the Mavs have been knocked for this in the past. They have the cap money anyway and no one to spend it on.
It's great when that unselfishness works out for you. He deserves it and so do the Spurs.

Let's just hope that we don't regret giving up the 2nd round pick. I imagine it won't be a travesty, but good things have come from a late pick. Manu Ginobli says hello.

I know of a certain somebody who went through the same thing last year
Hibbert went from a premiere big to "we got a 2nd rounder. Deal" in 2 seasons.

Its worth the stretch for those weird nights when we have to go up against a real center.
Looking forward to watching Dwight blow 2 ftrs. And getting the ball stripped 10 times a game, while he looks at the ref for help all game long. Never change man never change.

I didn't say it was a great move, just Portland trying to do something, anything with their spending money. I can understand it. It's not as if they're doing much these days and you have to put players on the floor.
i don't think either player deserves the max but again the max now will look a lot smaller in a year or two. So meh.

I still can't believe that contract for Wes, what the hell is Cuban thinking? You don't rebuild by paying guys coming off achiles injuries gigantic contracts. It was stupid when the Kings were going to do it and it's even stupider now.

Cuban's said some stupid shit but Lakers fans are still mad even though the veto on the CP3 trade would have happened with or without his input. I don't know why he gets so much blame when Stern was the one making the decision.
He said some dumb stuff on the Trayvon deal but I give him a pass considering he did a lot of work with Damon outside of Shark Tank on seminars to help black business owners succeed in creating and running their own businesses.
I'm really disappointed Young is trash. I don't care how open you are in D league dude shot 46% from 3 and can't put in the ocean...

He's just doing him a solid for staying and he needs to put players on the floor. It's not that big of a deal all things considering.
edit: At the very least he becomes a trade asset if he comes back healthy once the cap goes up. At this point contracts are going in only one direction. Last year ppl were laughing at Parsons contract while 3/45 doesn't sound that bad now.

Lebron never said he was going to stay with the Heat
No questions he's been disappointing, but I think it's important to remember that he's still the youngest player on the summer league roster, not even 20.
Smart is absolutely destroying this game everywhere. I really really like Mickey - he moves around the floor really smoothly and has decent touch.
Smart has dominated the game as he should. Once his figures out shot selection mixing it up with more drives he has some really good potential. He's already a beast on D. Mickey is pretty good. I didn't know he could hit 18 footers. I like Rozier too. He definitely needs to work on his shot but he is quick.

I agree. I would have been nice if he gave them a heads up, but he didn't give a verbal and renege on it.

Yeah. I'm a little worried having him on the bench during the regular season. He better have some D to make up for it.

he's got the athletic ability of my grandpa. He ain't gonna be guarding anyone. His value is in his passing and (potentially) shooting. LIke a poor man's Boris Diaw if he lives up to expectations.

Can you imagine if Hibbert puts up a 0pt 0rebound game on Kobe's watch? Kobe would eat his damn soul.
edit: cubes already getting the tank ready by acquiring Pachulia lol
I don't disagree, but he has to get better handles if he wants to stay a Spur - too many unforced turn-overs in the summer league games I saw.
He's a work in progress, will spend more time in d-league I'd guess this year.

Heat got Gerald Green for a vet minimum. Great pickup.
The Bulls aren't doing anything else after re-signing Aaron Brooks. The Bulls front office is deluded enough to think they built a championship roster last year that failed entirely because of Thibs so they hired a yes-man, ass kisser to run the same roster out there. Idiots.
I think the East playoffs now looks like this: CLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MIA>MIL>>WAS>ATL>>>>>>>>CHI,TOR,BOS

Miami's ceiling is probably 2-3 seed but realistically I wouldn't be surprised that we drop to as low as 6th because we old as fuck/still lack offensive firepower

You think the Hawks, Bucks, and Wizards are better than the Raptors now? Lol. Please. Lowry and DeRozan were hurt most of last season.
Boston got better too. Underrated pickups for sure, but Lee and Johnson going to help you guys if they stay healthy Celtics-GAF.

wtf happened to Gerald Green? Wasn't he considered a "Most Improved Player" a year or two ago with the suns? I remember Barkley and Kenny Smith talking about him all the time.
He wasn't used as much as he was that one season
