Green also mostly disappeared when they needed him against the Clippers, so it's a good thing he came back on a discount.

I don't think the Spurs were old as much as they couldn't hit shots against LA. LMA relieves some of that pressure and David West is good too. But they needed guys like Green and Mills to hit open threes, and they couldn't.

He's also excelled in other series and carried the Spurs in games. I think he is Manu 2.0. He isn't a superstar... he isn't ever going to make an All Star team... But he is one of those guys where if they didn't have him, the impact would be felt big time. That's exactly what Manu was. Solid all around player... every once in a while, will go off for 30+ and carry the team to a W. That's Green.

Yeah. He was great in the 2014 playoffs. Less so this year. Manu was atrocious in this year's postseason. I'm not sure if him coming back is necessarily a good thing.

Yeah Ginobli has fallen off HARD. A lot of the blame for the 2013 loss to the Heat can be put on his shoulders as well.

I don't see what you guys see in green. He caught fire in the playoffs last year especially from behind the arc but outside of that he is a very average player, not something i would build a "Big 3" around. He isn't consistently good like Manu was, he's too streaky for me, like a JR Smith without the attitude.

Yeah. When Manu was good, he was very good. He played as a proper SG and could have started for most teams. His ceiling was way higher than Green's ever will be.

That's not to say Green is a bad asset. Only that he has to be a lights out shooter or what's the point.

Also, the NBA should force DJ to honor the Dallas commitment. Or gets its :censored: together with the salary cap. This one week period is bogus if commitments aren't real.

Wow....anything like this ever happened before?

Turkoglu gaveva verbal commitment to Portland but signed with Toronto in 2009.

Then there's also the Carlos Boozer situation with the Cavs in 2004 too. The Cavs let him become a UFA a year early to sign him to the mid-level (as opposed to his $700K salary) but went back on the agreement, took more money from Utah and his agency dropped him.

The Emoji fallout over the situation is funny, especially the part where Paul Pierce doesn't quite get it:

On topic, the no signing period is stupid. Either reduce it to 3-5 days, or eliminate it all together.

Its not good, somebody commits to a team and cant sign for some stupid reason then changes his mind really screws over the team. The Mavs could have focused elsewhere if they knew he would change his mind. The Mavs stated it was Deandre or tank, now they may break up and that could throw things into even more flux.

The NBA has been playing with fire and it caught up with them. So there is some serendipity here.

Well considering Mark Cuban got screwed I think this thing is going to be a battle.

what could he fight though? this is no different then if a school got a verbal commitment from a 5 star recruit, but before he ended up signing he changed his mind and instead signs with another school. It happens all the time.

DeAndre Jordan is a big, indecisive retard. Dallas really should just move on, they don't want someone like him on their team. They already would've been grossly overpaying him for what he provides on the court, and now that he's been revealed as a flaky horses-ass (and the Clippers revealed a bunch of petty psychopaths)... yeah, concede the fight and file a grievance afterward to get cash or some draft picks or something.

It's weird how all the crazed, evil billionaires in movies are incredibly cold, calculating, and debonair, but in real life they're Steve Ballmer.
