Jordan spurns Mavericks for Clippers
Seraphin has made it clear he wants more playing time in addition to a raise from the $3.89 million salary he collected last season, his fifth with the Wizards. “And so I think from both sides I think everybody realizes it’s something that has to be looked at”.
Cuban and Jordan’s agent, Dan Fegan of Relativity Sports, tried repeatedly to reach the big man while he was holed up in his house with his teammates to no avail, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. Redick were among those who converged on Jordan’s Houston home on Wednesday in a last-ditch attempt to convince him to stay with L.A. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and J.J.
A handshake deal, in this case, was no deal. But before he was able to sign that contract, Jordan started having doubts. He did not mention Jordan by name, though it was obvious to what he was referring. Now I’ll be the first to say I love everything Mark Cuban is about and I don’t blame him for anything he did in this whole situation. “We were thrilled until we saw he’d crossed out “Clippers” and written in ‘Sparks.’ I don’t know how they’re going to pay him $88 million”.
The Dallas Mavericks need to come to terms that DeAndre Jordan is lost to them already.
Nor does sound like Jordan is willing to answer his phone. Not everyone agreed.
DALLAS (AP) DeAndre Jordan gave the Dallas Mavericks his word.
“We brought a contract and he signed it at 12:01 a.m.”, Rivers said.
But after the signing, Redick took to Twitter and changed his evaluation an A plus.
The move to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers just made sense.
Another source reportedly claimed that the deal was done after some talks. A professional basketball player who can’t make 42 percent of his foul shots is not overly committed.
“There’s a victor in every game and then there’s a team that doesn’t win and they’re not happy”, Rivers said.
Ex- National Basteball Association executive Stu Jackson wrote on Twitter that change to the moratorium system “is imminent”, though nothing is now planned.
Luckily for the Mavs, Wes Matthews has still signed on, and they are likely to sign a ex- All-Star in Deron Williams, but Mark Cuban and company will surely not be forgiving the actions of DeAndre Jordan any time soon. Added Orlando GM Rob Hennigan: “The rules have been the rules for a while now”. I’m not even going to criticize you for waiting until the last moment to do so, for getting your pals to keep you company while you waited to sign a deal at midnight, or for essentially ending Dirk Nowitzki’s career without any more chances at a second ring.
