    The moratorium exists to allow NBA accountants to calculate the salary cap among other things. All that will be changed is that free agency will be pushed until AFTER the moratorium.

    Why does it take a week to get a bunch of accountants to figure that out?

    For those of you calling out Doc and the Clips, all indications are that it is a two-way street. All this is happening because DJ got cold feet first.

    ------

    Remember, this will destroy the Clippers AND DJ's relationship with Fegan and the Mavs.

    He'll need a new agent and the Mavs/Clips will never trade with one another.

    We all should be rooting for the Mavs to be able to sign DJ...Having DJ back with the Clippers is not a good thing. Also would not be surprised if Cuban doesnt sue the Clippers and the NBA.

    How do courts look on verbal agreements???
