    I bet Wes Matthews is pissed, he should be given the option by the Mavs organization to back out.

    I actually havent been following this whole ordeal much, has he backed out too?

    He can't barely walk and not even sure if he will play basketball again just like Kobe now.

    All he care is about the paid check.

    If that was the case, he would've signed with the Kings.

    I like that. OKC gets (marginally) weaker, and Dallas overpays for a mediocre big.

    I don't see why...DJ called them.

    Clips just gave Dallas a taste of their own medicine and swarmed DJ. I wouldn't even be surprised if Paul's tweet was referring to something Chandler told DJ.

    CP3 gets booed at Dodgers Stadium. The fact that about 50% of all NBA fans are Lakers fans all over the country, the Clippers are not a very popular team no matter what they do. Plus, the NBA screwed them on calls all the time too so there shouldn't be any change on that front either.

    Why does he need an option to back out? He can back out just like DJ did.

    Jordan is the villain, not the Clippers. However to me he is a hero, **** Mark Cuban.

    The kings looking like the better option about now.

    Dallas will be rebuilding now so I'm willing to bet if Wes looks like he has any value they'd be smart to trade him in Feb for some young players/picks.

    Question is, would the Mavs now back away from signing Wes Matthews?

    Good question.

    That contract kind of makes sense if you are going to have a...

    Lin
    Wes
    Parsons
    Dirk
    Jordan

    Lineup that could maybe challenge for 5th seed if everything goes right...now though? That team would be lucky to make the playoffs. They would be better off not taking on that contract and honestly trading Dirk to the East for some young players and assets. They have no future right now and their present sucks.

    I think Fegan owns or runs Relativity Sports.

    Players can get away with reneging, a team could not.

    **** Dallas

    I love how DJ screwed them and shoved bamboo sticks up the assholes of Parsons and Cuban.

    Even though it's the Mavs, what DJ did was still a major dick move.

    And then the Clippers barred other teams from visiting with DJ, when DJ was an unrestricted FA, right? That's an even bigger dick move.

    The two dicks deserve each other. And the Mavs also got dicked.

    Dick.

    Neither of those.
    He has a contract with them and runs their Basketball division in conjunction with Happy Walters- Amare's agent.


    Cuban said they did give Wes the option and he reiterated his commitment to coming to sign and play for the Mavs.
