Espn.com- DeAndre Jordan has told the Los Angeles Clippers that he wants to walk away from his new deal with the Dallas Mavericks to stay in L.A., 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 this process.
Sources say Jordan, in a Wednesday meeting at his Houston home with several Los Angeles teammates and top team officials, left the Clippers with the clear message that he intends to renege on 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.
This was such a bitch move by Jordan that it makes my blood boil and I could care less about both franchises involved. The fact he wouldn't answer a call from an organization that was willing to pay him 80 million dollars is just sad. I get the market and roster size dictates his value on the open market but I wouldn't want this bum on my squad. I hope Cuban somehow pulled his signature shark tank move at the end by pulling his offer.
News Flash: Clippers aren't winning anything with this squad. West is up for grabs between the Warriors and Spurs next year and the Clippers will be bragging about winning their round 1 playoff matchup before losing in 5 to whoever they play in round 2.
P.S. The fact that we live in a Country where someone that can't dribble or shoot a basketball can be paid 20 million dollars a year to play professional ball is pretty fucking incredible. Not to mention that he is such a liability from the free throw line that he pretty much doesn't play during crunch time.
