    Hope it doesn't happen. Clips are a major contender with him, Dallas not so much.

    This is true. But damn, would it be hilarious as a Mavs hater.

    Has a marquee free agent ever done that? Agree to terms with one team, and then decide to sign with another? I can't say I remember something similar to this happening.

    How much could the clippers offer him with a 4 year contract?

    Lebron to Houston (Clutchfans dream) then he goes to Miami / Cleveland :)

    I don't remember any big name but I've seen this happen one or two times. I can't remember who and I think it happened to us in the late 90s?

    As they should. Clippers entire future depends on it. Without DAJ, they are going to be a first round exit team in WC. More of their players might jump ship.

    I am so torn.

    On one hand I want to see Chris Paul and his whiny ass suffer.

    On the other hand, how sweet would it be for Cuban and Parsons to look like complete fools once again after all the yapping!!

    Is there anyway DAJ can go to the Suns so that I can watch both of these teams suffer?

    Bosh essentially did it last year to us, all in the span of about an hour.

    You better believe Cuban is going to start trolling Clipper's FA targets now. I think most of us in Houston know what a pain in the ass that is.

    That's awesome. That right there is a no lose situation. I can't even decide which would make me happier.
