    So this was a pretty elaborate scheme to ruin Dallas future.

    Think about it. He 'Signs' with Dallas...at least verbally and commits all that salary space. They think they are done for the offseason, content...

    Last moment he pulls out. Now they have to commit to Wes Mathews and now their future is effectively ruined being a team that is too good to tank and good enough that they probably will land in that middle zone no team wants to be with.

    I'm convinced Deandre was just screwing with Dallas all along!

    We should go after him in his next contract.

    Windhorst didn't report any of that as fact. He noted... Correctly... That he should have had DJ partying with Parsons in Vegas instead of letting him go home. And he correctly noted the Houston/Dallas sports hate. But he didn't say this is definitely what happened. Just said it was a mistake to let DJ go to Houston.

    Dallas is where Houston would have been a couple of years ago when we were ready to commit to Nene and Pau Gasol.

    If Morey already signed Nene to that contract then the Gasol trade got cancelled then we would have been screwed over. Lolol

    He wouldn't have signed Nene until the trade was official, and we know that because he didn't. So yes, in the instance that would have never happened, unless it had happened already, that's what would have happened.

    That Star with the H tattoo was featured in a documentary series featuring a street gang called "Tango Blast" lol... Why they hell hasn't Houston offered anything for Deandre? I mean come on, he's from Houston and should be a Rocket.

    can't tell you how many times i've said/thought "there's no way a guy with the H Star permanently on his body is playing for Dallas...no way in the world."

    it was really close though.

    Can we revoke Carl's thread posting privilege, please? Yet another misleading thread title because he thinks he's funny.

    Boston is the big winner in all of this...

    Nets losing Deron make them worse, could & should miss playoffs...

    Unprotected pick to Boston.

    Dallas getting Deron makes them better, but not good enough to make playoffs in the West...

    Top 7 Protected Pick to Boston.

    Boston also has Timberwolves 1-12 Protected pick in the 2016 Draft.


    They could potentially have 4 Lottery selections in the 2016 draft!

    Talk about luck of The Irish!!!
