Thats a lot of money to leave on the table and go to a rebuilding team. Its cheaper to just buy your family nba league pass....

Wow - if they are trying to quickly dethrone the Yankees in becoming the most hated franchise in sports, it may even work.

And so ends another episode of "As the Clippers turn". Look for DJ in a State Farm commercial soon.

Its been done like 4 times now. Why cant a person make a decision then change his or her mind? That's part of life. I'm sure he had good intentions with Dallas but after thinking about it felt comfortable where he was? No one can blame him for it. While he gave a commitment it was not a signed contract--happens in college basketball all the time.

because other free agents signed after he agree to sign so dallas couldnt even change directions. My point is dont committ unless you are sure. Lets face it if this happened to the knicks you would be shitting egg rolls

This isn't college and you are expected to show a certain degree of professional integrity. Especially when there are so many other moves being directly or indirectly impacted by it. When you make this much money you are held to a different standard. There's nothing wrong with that.

DeAndre Jordan has told the Los Angeles Clippers that he wants to walk away from his new deal to join Dallas Mavericks and stay in Los Angeles, according to league sources.

But sources told ESPN.com that the unprecedented fluidity of Jordan's free agency has convinced the Clippers that they need to stay at Jordan's side until he can formally sign a new contract, given that Jordan has already changed his mind once in his process.

Sources say Jordan, in a Wednesday meeting at his Houston home with several teammates and top team officials, left the Clippers with the clear message that he intends to renege on last Friday's commitment to sign a four-year, $80-plus million max deal with the Mavericks and re-sign a lucrative deal with the Clippers instead.

Yet sources say that the majority of the Clippers' contingent that descended en masse onto Houston to get Jordan back -- which included coach/team president Doc Rivers, owner Steve Ballmer and star teammates Chris Paul and Blake Griiffin -- refused to leave Jordan's house after the conclusion of the meeting. The Clippers' contingent, sources said, is vowing to stay with Jordan until at least 12:01 a.m. ET Thursday, which is the first allowable minute that Jordan can officially sign a new deal with L.A.

Sources say that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and lead Mavericks recruiter Chandler Parsons, meanwhile, now fear they won't even get the chance they were expecting Wednesday night to try to pitch Jordan one more time before he makes his decision, given that the Clippers' traveling party has essentially refused to leave the All-NBA center. Cuban and Parsons arrived Wednesday in Houston along with Jordan's primary agents from Relativity Sports -- Dan Fegan and Jarrin Akana -- who sources say were excluded from the Clippers' early evening meeting with their client.

This sh*t is crazy. The NBA is going to have to make changes before next summer. If the Mavs lose out, their franchise is screwed.
