    Good question. Did he take less money because he knew Jordan was going to Dallas? If so, there's yet another example of a decision made by a player based on Jordan and why the NBA will have to step in and change the rules.

    Just like they did to Jason Kidd when he spurned the Mavs?

    This is seriously impossible to make up. This saga is too funny.

    DJ will be a Clipper, though. All these Clippers trolling Parsons is hilarious. They know it's a wrap.

    i would just like to say there is no scenario in this situation where it's not a WIN for me. either

    A) Clippers look like desperate fools on the verge of suicide or

    B) Mavs get rejected in the worse way and have their hearts ripped out and crapped on.

    Either way one of the two loses big which anyway I look at it, its a WIN =)

    I kind of want him to stick with Dallas. He doesn't make dallas that much better but he makes LA that much worse by leaving.

    He had agreed to return to the Mavs and then signed with the Knicks instead.

    Damn, Fegan is a master of conflicts of interest.

    Really the type of thing you should have your license suspended for if true

    The real dream is if Phoenix sneaks in, signs Jordan, Tyson winds up with the Clippers and the Mavericks get Seraphin.

    Fans of West teams should hope Jordan stays with Dal , DJ makes clippers more dominant than DJ with Dal obviously.

    Michael Eaves of ESPN reported Jordan reached out to Clippers head coach Doc Rivers saying he had made a mistake, triggering the team's attempt to bring him back to Los Angeles.
