    I said the same thing earlier.

    What if, for example, LMA felt bitter the the Blazers lost to the Spurs on the playoffs. LMA always wanted to resign in Portland for the most possible money but tells the Spurs that he wants to sign with them. The Spurs then trade away several players and let other free agents walk in order to create cap space. All other free agents sign with other teams, and then at the last minute LMA "changes his mind" saying that he has been "terribly regretting his rushed decision and will miss the fans of Portland". Thus he would get the most money with Portland while crippling the Spurs.

    Hypothetical situation. But what is to keep something like that from happening?

    Cuban didn't cradle him like he cradled Parsons and DJ got jealous.

    I wonder if/how this will affect the Fegan/Cuban relationship going forward if Jordan indeed backs off. Fegan is a very powerful agent after

    with all th parties involved in this,,, fegan idk nothing about, dj is obviously a mental midget, and what the clips are doing (parking in dj's house?!) is unprecedented and nasty. so, in conclusion, with all the common rockets fan hate towards the mavs, they're the only party that has been behaving normally? :cool:

    According to multiple sources, hearing that Houston SWAT has been called in to extract a highly valuable asset that is trapped within his own home. Hostage negotiations are underway. - Chris Broussard

    Nothing, LMA could sign with whoever, and until the contract is signed its just a verbal agreement that doesn't mean **** legally... Obviously going back now could hurt future deals for him and his integrity but he's allowed to do it.

    I have a bad feeling the Mavs are going to try and salvage themselves by ****ing everyone else over.

    That means signing Bev, Brew, Smith.

    After all the laughing we had to deal with last year after Bosh backing out, I don't feel any sympathy for Dallas at all.

    Isn't this how Carlos Boozer ended up in Utah with the j*zz? Dissing the Cavs and the whole Cee yUo Next Tuesday thing with Silas?
