Hypothetical... let's assume DJ goes back to the Clips

DeAndre Jordan, after verbally agreeing to a four-year max deal with the Dallas Mavericks last week, has made an about-face, re-signing with the Los Angeles Clippers in a deal ESPN sources say was completed Thursday morning shortly after midnight ET at his house in Houston. The contract with the Clippers also is a four-year max deal that will be worth an estimated $88 million, sources told ESPN. Jordan can opt out after three years.

Sweet!

I love it when Cuban loses, especially since we own his pick.

I wonder what the Mavs will do now. We could see a domino effect. Other players can back out too. A lot of guys have a high opinion of playing for Cuban. We'll see what happens.

The article on realGM had a funny line, "The Clippers will stay with Jordan at his house until he signs his new contract."

If Dallas is SOL maybe Danny and Mark can work out a win win deal. If it makes sense for Dallas to rebuild they would need their pick back. But aside from Parsons and Dirk they have nothing to offer. How about this for a crazy idea, rework the Lee trade so that Lee goes to Dallas along with Sully Turner, their 1st round pick back and 1 or 2 additional first round picks for Dirk and Parsons. Dirk would have to agree to it and we would still be without a big center.

Smart/Rozier
AB/IT
Parsons/Crowder
Dirk/Johnson
Zeller/KO

Then still go after Cousins if he becomes available. Parsons plus all the picks for DMC.

They are not trading dirk.  And they aren't trading dirk and parsons fir that weak offer.  Can we stop trying to screw every team in trades.

And isn't their pick top 7 protected?  If so, it isn't a given they lose their pick next year.

preach brother. dear god, preach!  way too much of that going on around here

As others have mentioned, Dirk isn't going anywhere. I do however see Parsons as a possibility if the price is right.
Having said that I highly doubt the Mavs want their pick back. This year's draft is weak so the pick doesn't hold much value for them even if they finish outside of the top 7.. not to mention I see the C's holding out until 2017 if it falls in the 10-15 range.

I'm not sure we have the option of passing on the pick if it falls in the agreed upon range (after 7 and before...I forget).  If the pick lands between 10-15, I assume it is ours whether we want it or not.
