Chandler Parsons said that the reason DeAndre Jordan chose to remain in Los Angeles with the Clippers was because "he wasn't ready to be a franchise player."Damn Parsons went in raw on DumbAndre
"Maybe he got nerves about being a franchise player and having the pressure of leading a team," said Parson when asked why he thought Jordan may have changed his mind. "He’s very comfortable in L.A. He can play behind Chris Paul, play behind Blake Griffin. That’s what I thought he didn’t want… This decision was just way too big for him and he wasn’t ready to be a franchise player." The boos will be deafening when Jordan enters American Airlines Center for the first time next season, still donning a Clippers jersey.
EDIT: WTF WES GOT WHAT??
WHATTTT
WHATTTTTTTTT
watwatwatwatwatWHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
WHAT
THE
FLYING
FUCK
I got home to THIS?
By h3ro Go To PostI love this.
This is why I can't hate Cuban that much.
I would probably agree with Parsons. DJ was gonna be exposed without CP3 tossing him lobs.
Why is anyone shocked Wes got this money? Torn achilles I know, but teams believe in their medical staffs differently nowadays.
Kings were gonna max or near max him too.
Wes was always going to get at least $13 mil if not a full max. Fucking Kanter got a max. Tobias Harris got a near max.
This is the NBA. This is how these types of markets work. Stop being shocked!

Even if he not got hurt that deal still pretty shite
Guess what, he not still signing because he's man of his word

Cuban pressing Broussard is hilarious.
Whatever credibility Multiple Sources had left is about to go out the window.

By joefu Go To PostMavs have to hit the salary floor somehow lol
LT payments out...I'm rounding.
Nets: $20 million
Cavs: $7 million
Knicks $7 million
Clipppers: $5 million
OKC: $2.8 million
Knicks spent $7 million in tax to have the 2nd worst record. lmao.
All combined less than Brooklyn's $90 mil last year.
Nets: $20 million
Cavs: $7 million
Knicks $7 million

Now only 4 teams have never paid the LT. Wash, GSW, Char, and NOP. That will change with GSW next year at least.

LoL Knicks, Nets. Cleveland will be in 2nd after this year, possibly.

By h3ro Go To PostInsulting of Cuban, Broussard values his multiple sources at more than $100,000

Willie Reed has been one of the better big men in attendance this week for the unbeaten Miami Heat, and he also might have saved his best performance for Wednesday. He scored 15 points, grabbed six rebounds, and swatted three shots.With Teletovic gone we still need one more big man but I like this signing.
Reed is the ultimate "keep it simple" kind of big man. He protects the rim (he's been on the last two D-League All-Defense teams for a reason), rebounds the basketball, and finishes in close when you get him the ball in the right position near the hoop. Basically, Reed looks like exactly what you're looking for from an NBA team, and has the for the past two years in the D-League. This isn't a rush to judgment based on a small sample size of games. Any team that's trying to find a minimum salary big man, Reed could very easily be exactly what you're looking for.
By reilo Go To PostRT @daldridgetnt: With DeAndre Jordan going back to the Clippers, Wes Matthews's deal with Dallas goes from 4/$57M to a max deal: 4 years, $70M, per source.
WHAT THE
Wow talk about making bad decisions when your emotional.....
By Kuma Go To PostDJ doing gods work. Now it is time for Mavs to hit the lottery and get an 8-14 pick.I actually think they had a better chance of being 8-14 with the DAJ signing. mathews and Parsons may not start the season and DAJ is vastly overrated without someone like CP3 IMO.
Now, they're not just a lock for the lottery, but easily could be top 5. Parsons and Mathews get to take as much time off as they need if I'm Cuban.
By reilo Go To PostRT @daldridgetnt: With DeAndre Jordan going back to the Clippers, Wes Matthews's deal with Dallas goes from 4/$57M to a max deal: 4 years, $70M, per source.trade bait for a franchise player in the future.

.....right?
By reilo Go To PostI've only trolled the Rockets and Knicks the last few years. That doesn't even count.
lol nah it counts and you are reaping the benefits this off season
By h3ro Go To PostMultiple source about to do some photoshop fuckery
By Red Blaster Go To Posthow much are the lakers still paying mike brown and d'antoniBrown's done already. D'Antoni I'm not sure. His 4th year was a team option. If he was a player, they'd have to pay him but I don't know the rules in terms of coaches (not part of the CBA or anything) so if they have to pay him, it's just this year, otherwise he's done too!
D'Antoni just sold his Manhattan Beach home for over $9 million this week, too.
By joefu Go To Posthttp://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/post/_/id/4705530/chandler-parsons-qa-we-did-everything-that-we-can
Good Q and A. DJ did Parsons dirty
Was this a bad gamble for the Mavs or a risk worth taking given the potential reward?
Parsons: “This was a risk that we were willing to take, and I think it was worth taking. It’s not our fault. We did everything that we could. We had a verbal commitment from a grown-ass man. Like, there’s nothing else that we could have done. There’s nothing else that we could have said.
Parsons out here in his feelings hard lol
Really good and candid QA
The only person that looks bad in this whole ordeal is DAJ. I don't know how a move like this doesn't ruin your reputation for the rest of your life.
it's official. for a moment there, i was word Cuban was going to cockblock us.
The #Pacers have acquired a future Second Round draft pick from the @Lakers in exchange for Roy Hibbert: http://on.nba.com/1JXDYEo
Hibbert officially a Laker.
Russell/Clarkson
Clarkson/Lou Williams/Brown
Kobe/Young/Brown
Randle/Bass/Nance Jr/Kelly
Hibbert/Black/Sacre
I'm okay with this for this year. Much more exciting. Definitely a better defensive team.
Kelly, who I still think can be a decent rotation player, needs to be shipped out though. No room left for him. And Young can go now that Lou is on the team. Sacre can go or stay, don't matter.

Metta played 1 on 1 with Randle today said he's strong as fuq and the guys on the squad guarding him said he was the strongest forward they ever played against.

I'm hype. Excited to see everyone play together. Here's to hoping Upshaw keeps his head on straight since from what I've read he could be an absolute steal. Also besides Russell and Randle, I am hype to see Nance Jr jump out of the gym.
I'm hype guys.
I'm rooting for Upshaw, his #s are crazy good at his time at Washington.
i think he's the perfect complimentary player next to Randle.

If not, they had to wait.
My cousin, who lives in vegas, is going to the SL tomorrow. Wouldn't mind going, myself.
knux, in sports culture, its totally acceptable to root for a player but not a team.
just look on Konex and his love for Kobe and ARod, no one here actually thinks he's laker fan.

By ratcliffja Go To PostSo Teletovic is going to Phoenix it appears.Stretch four shooter, big need on the team. Still interested in seeing what we do with Markieff. McD said he wasn't done making moves.
fyi,

FOH pretending like the Knicks sucked because we didn't blow up the team, tank, and played without our star player for most of the year.
I could probably go fishing and pull around 30 dumbass comment you made about your team. But I don't care enough to do that.
