ESPN sources say Clippers lobbying DeAndre Jordan to reverse his decision to join Dallas

He is worth between 12-15 mil in today's NBA. People need to stop being so bitter.

 

If Ariza signs a deal the same year as Parsons signs a deal at 8 mil a year, then no, Parsons is not worth upwards of 15 mil a year. That's not being bitter. That's just logical thinking. Now that he has this mysterious knee surgery, who knows what he's worth.

 

It would've been interesting to see him play as a Rocket this past season on the cheap.

Probably no Ariza, but Mooray picked up Josh and Brewer midseason.

Oh well, it turned out much better than expected.

 

Just saw the Ramona Shelburne interview on ESPN. Does anyone else think she looks like a thumb in a dress?

 

Yeah, the part that surprised me was him telling Jordan to honor his commitment to the Mavs when he started having second thoughts about his decision. Here he has a chance to sabotage the verbal agreement with Dallas and instead Griffin tells Jordan to man up.

 

With all of it behind us, I would say the same thing if I were him.

I would also tell her that I drove Jordan to Cuban's house and then dropped him there and told him not to come back to him unless he is wearing a Mavs jersey. Unfortnately DAJ came back because Cuban was out on a date with Chandler Parsons in Houston.

Seriously, who is going to fact check? No one other than Clippers were around!

In reality, they were all circling around DAJ like hawks like they should have. The team's future depended on re-signing him.

 

I just see a fat ugly lady in a dress that acts like a b****y know it all. There is an unwritten rule in life if youre fat and ugly- you CANT be a b**** too.

One thing took away from her article is that she clearly doesnt do her research and will write whatever seems easiest apparently. The fact that she said that Blake google searched the image of the chair blocking the door was inaccurate. In a podcast interview, JJ Reddick stated that Blake moved the chair himself inside of DJs home. They were planning on what to block the door with and almost went with a buffet table. Blake finally ended up with the chair and added the hilarious caption.

Surprises me that she doesnt do her due process before just writing things. Or does it? I am talking about ramona shelburne here. What does surprise me is that she is a reporter for the biggest sports news team and in the biggest market there is. Yall couldnt find a better qualified, better looking reporter espn? C'mon man....

 

^ She called Marcus Camby a Houston native, lol

 

Haha, I didnt catch that.

Damn espn, can I get a job?

 

Doesn't he live in Houston? More specifically in pearland

 

He definitely does, but he isn't a native. Dude is from Hartford, CT.

For any other writer, I wouldn't worry so much about semantics, but this is just par for the course when it comes to Shelburne.

 

Because he is...

 

You might need to look up the word native.

 

k.

being the place or environment in which a person was born or a thing came into being:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/native

 

Fair enough. I think that falls in line with a gray area though. In my mind and IMO a lot of peoples mind native means born there. Id also like to know how long Camby has been living in Houston. I still dont consider him one and wouldnt consider him a gray area "native" unless its been at least 10 years.

 

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when Rivers exchanged words with the agent. Heck, to have listened in on Jordan's talk with Rivers....

There is something not cool about players recruiting for their teams in non-recruiting periods. Every team has players who do it. And I know it played a role in getting Howard, but it is really getting turned up when a player is pretty much acting as an Assistant GM.

 

So either Houston is the place or environment in which Camby was born,

or he is a thing that came to being in Houston.

I don't like these choices.
