Oh so you think that it's related to this thread only?
You're really worked up, making a bunch of posts towards this, very strange, considering you had no intent behind the comment whatsoever.

And on that note...

The good news is that he will likely remember your name for knighting for him so y'all will be cool. I mean that is the goal, right?
Let me guess, no intent for that comment either, right?

Oh it doesn't. Me pointing it out has apparently set the world on fire. But you do occasionally talk as some elitist when you are basically a twitter parrot.



He really does act like an elitist sometimes especially if you say anything close to negative about the grizz.

How long have you been following the NBA RTR?

Paul Pierce just tweeted a picture of a Rocket emoji, although it was poorly done, I think it was a good effort and quite comical.

Eta: to be fair, it's probably the first emoji of his life, but he wants to fit in with the new teammates and I can appreciate that

What if this led to Wes Matthews bailing on his commitment to the Mavs?


Honestly, they might welcome it.

Either way, the initial announcment of his deal with the Mavericks said the total amount of compensation rather than his commitment generally was contingent on Jordan joining the Mavericks.

He's probably just going to get even more money out of the deal.


Do you remember how many years he agreed to? I could see him maybe wanting to take a shorter deal (though SUPER risky w/his recent injury) or maybe change his last year to a player option.

It would suck to think you are signing on to what seems like a playoff caliber situation to suddenly being on a bad lottery team.

The Chris Paul banana boat tweet is my favorite tweet of all-time. I now like CP3 again.



I think that tweet alone has made me a CP fan again. That was hilarious.

Jordan's agent is going take a beating if the renege on the verbal commitment.

HS kids are one thing flip flopping in sports.

Veterans are a completely different animal.

This a bitch move by DeAndre Jordan if he rolls back to LA.



This is the biggest FA cluster frick (sans Decision) since Juwan Howard to the Heat in '96.

Cubes is going to lose his mind. The NBA offseason is getting better and better.

Nothing I have said = me being worked up. I have just responded to your comments. I mean, you seem to be the one getting worked up...which is weird.

Hit me back with a few or lol's. But I don't know why you are so invested in the discussion. It could have died a couple of pages ago. Nothing I said was that bad.

I know this subject has come up before on here:

Difference on 5-year w/LA & 4-year w/DAL is about $29M for DeAndre. After taxes, as a TEX resident, difference = $12M, says @sportstaxman


I love that there's a guy on twitter dedicated to figuring out player tax burdens.

Was it Carlos Boozer that had that FA clusterfrick years ago? I can't recall, but I remember that being a really big deal at the time.

This is way bigger.

I'd assume, if the stuff tweeted were true, DJ would likely dump his agent.

Isn't he like 25 years old? How dare a 25 year old have 2nd thoughts about, oh, only the biggest decision he's ever made in his life, the nerve of him!!!

It's certainly a screw up on his part, but a "bitch move"...

Clippers seem pretty confident with all of the joke tweets.
