    If I were Cuban I'd rescind the deal immediately. Why pay an idiot like that 100 million dollars? That's some very weak sauce on Jordan's part. Weak minds in a competitive sport overcome any level of talent every time. I'm not a hater of Dallas or the Clips but the Clips deserve this clown.

    It's a scumbag move. You've made the agreement, you roll with it. I'd have to think this hurts DJ's agent's credibility a bit, too.

    There goes our potential sign-and-trade with the Mavs. The Clippers and their shady tactics piss me off so much.

    DJ's agent wanted him to go to Dallas though. Fegan (DJ's agent) is probably pissed right now.

    That's actually a steal for Lin. Thought he'd go 4 at least.

    I'm sure he is, if that's what he wanted; but it has to hurt your standing as an agent if you can't get your clients to honor their deals. I'd be pissed all around - Dallas, Cuban, Fegan, and every other team that missed out, too.

    Agents don't have credibility. They're attorneys.

    DJs agent works for Wasserman Media Group so it probably won't affect him much

    Yi and Dampier are probably raking in the $ for him, too.

    $100 million career earnings for Dampier and $13 million for Yi. They've already made him a pretty penny.

    Yeah, but it's not like an agent says, "Thats enough of this money-making for me."

    Is this what's referred to as premature ejaculation for Mavs fans?
