    I wish I could find the blurb but Cuban said he hadnt heard from DJ after the verbal ok but there was something that said DJ hadnt heard at all from the Mavs since the verbal ok. I am sure that if true probably played a part like you go woo, wine and dine a guy like crazy and then dont say anything at all? He probably had second doubts arising from that in addition to Fegan trying to push his own agenda.

    Look I hate DJ going back to LA because it makes them a whole lot tough esp with Lance and Pierce now on the team. But he did what he though was best - better now than afterwards and realize you cant do anything about your mistake once the contract is signed. If it had to happen to any team I am just glad it was with Cuban and GM Parsons

    Deandre Jordan is not getting as much hate as I anticipated. Media is ok with him being a straight b****. They are saying it was great fun. they are saying a 26 year old man isn't mature enough to tell Cuban to his face he isn't going to sign.. It's like I'm in the twilight zone....

    How old was Dwight when he flew back to LA to tell Lakers brass that he was going to Houston?

    He plays for an LA team. Double Standards everywhere. People still give **** to Dwight about a fake waffling story.

    I forgot how much I dislike Doc's smug ****ing attitude. And Chris Paul. I mean nothing comes close to my dislike for Dallas but I wish the Clips got screwed too.

    What. A. Douche. Hey, Parsons, maybe it was about the Clippers being about him wanting to win a championship more than being "the man." And listen very closely to what Doc said- when he was informed of Jordan's departure, it was THROUGH HIS AGENT- so why shouldn't it work both ways? Seems to me this is on Fegan.

    And what this tells me is that Parsons is more about getting the glory than winning. That's what he tried to sell Deandre on- being "the man." So, clearly Parsons values individual stats more than anything else. It's all right there in his words.

    And if Deandre signing left the "entire franchise in jeopardy," well, then that's not much of a franchise now, is it? Who let Chandler go when he could have held on to him until the last minute? Who let Ellis go? Who let Aminu go? What about the Rondo fiasco? Why is everyone wanting to get out of Dallas? Except for Parsons, who deserves Mark Cuban.

    Poor Dirk. He doesn't deserve any of this.

    LOL someone please watch the video on the ESPN front page right now!

    The "analyst" accidentally slips Dwight's name instead of Deandre's when saying it was a cowardly move.

    The hate is so real.

    Did you read the part where Doc was told by Deandre's agent that he intended to sign with Dallas? Why should Cuban expect any different treatment?

    Parsons is a little b****.
    Probably was crying during this interview.

    Were we all blind when he was in Houston? Has Parsons always been this insufferable?

    Isnt it ironic that this whole thing with the Mavs went down in Houston? Maybe Cuban and Parsons are in a club right now and Cuban tells Chandler that he is going to trade him to the Kings.

    I don't care that Cuban was disrespected; it's icing on the cake. I hate that Deandre is getting off scot-free in the media. Everyone shrugging this off like its ok for a 26 year old man to act like a baby.

    LOL Parsons was tired playing behind the shadows of Harden and Dwight

    Playing behind those superstars actually hid all your weaknesses

    Now you're exposed to be the typical role player that you are

    Nah he's changed man, IMO when he first started here he was a humble player. Over time his ego grew ALOT.

    This has all been perfect. Mavs suck as bad as ever and Clippers are the laughing stock of the nba.

    Exactly, first year in the league he was just a 2nd round pick, even if he talked nobody would listen to him but as his skill increased, so did his ego and now the Mavs are "his team" and Dallas is "his city" which will be very impressive when they win 25 games this season.
