Meanwhile in Clipper land it's "Sob City". This is a huge coup for Dallas. I was pretty doubtful he would actually leave LA but damn here it is happening.

[Bryan_Wilson]

Parsons, the smooth operator. Two centers he has now helped take from LA and brought to TX.

Doc + CP only wanted DJ to be a rebounder/dunker/defender. Never ran plays for him. I actually think they were right... but they never won.

Mavs played it smart- appealed to DJ's desire to be a 2-way player. We'll see. Enjoyed watching him blossom from section 101. Good luck DJ.

Thank you CP3.

Plan A designed, implemented, and executed. Thanks to Parsons for driving this to its completion. It is truly remarkable how all of his panache about playing GM has come to fruition. Give that man a raise!

Is there some tension between him and DJ? I don't follow the Clippers at all.

[SMC0007]

Parsons for president.

Mavs are fishing well this year.

Paul was the #1 reason why Jordan wanted out of LA.

Yeah, that seems like their doom, but you know Paul wouldn't show up if a gun was held to his head.

@ZachLowe_NBA: Parsons is the lead recruiter, but the underlying Mark Cuban-Dan Fegan (agent) relationship is obviously key here.

[Underdog]

@espn_macmahon: For all of Chandler Parsons' charm, DeAndre Jordan's decision came down to a desire to be a franchise centerpiece.

[Underdog]

@espn_macmahon: Mark Cuban on DeAndre Jordan: "We think he is going to be our best player for years to come. A franchise player for rest of his career."

[NeedlesKane]

Going by my memory here I believe we have the following players signed (or will once we can within the next week or so):

Raymond Felton
Devin Harris
Wesley Matthews
Chandler Parsons
Justin Anderson
Dirk Nowitzki
Dwight Powell
DeAndre Jordan
Satnam Singh

If I am correct that leaves us with 6 roster spots open. I know the Mavs like to leave at least 1 spot open for any players that become available throughout the season. Who could the next 4 or 5 signings be? I think the Mavs should make an effort to re-sign J.J. Barea. I also am a fan of what Charlie Villanueva did for us last year. It also would not hurt to have Amar'e return.

I failed to realize that he stole both from L.A. That is awesome! In my mind Howard was a Magic center before going to Houston. I chose to forget that one season in L.A. I was tired of reading all of those stories. Good thing I am no Lakers fan.

[bunkmoreland]

Don't forget Jefferson.

I heard that Jefferson resigned for the min. I thought I read that Singh will not be on the roster - he was going to be stashed on the Legends roster for a couple of years

If he keeps playing like he did when Griffin was out, then I have no doubt. Hell, even when Griffin came back, Jordan was still on fire.

He will be in Frisco but he still counts as part of the 15-man roster unless we just don't sign him.

Stunning, said no one: source says J.J. Barea now working out details w/Mavs on deal. Had been talking strong w/Heat, looking for 3 yrs.

Awesome. I was disappointed last year that we lost Vince Carter, but he did an admirable job. And the fact that RJ is again willing to return for the minimum is awesome. I have a feeling that he is learning some investing advice from Mark Cuban that makes his contract actually more than the minimum.

Unless the Heat pays him some enormous contract I have a feeling he'll be staying in Dallas. This makes me so happy!

[EastTxMFFL]

I think the biggest thing about this that maybe hasn't been realized by everyone yet is now we have guys that free agents want to come play with. What free agents next offseason do we now have a realistic shot at signing?

Bingo... That's why we focused on Jordan/Matthews and didn't blink when lesser free agents started dropping off the board.

[jay3189]

Never been a huge DeAndre fan. I hope he brings it all the way. He is going to be the rebounder and shot blocker that we need. I just hope he becomes better overall on offense and with his free throw shooting.
