You may be right, but if its such an easy decision, I don’t know why the Giants showed up to South Florida trying to get into his room.

Giants held all the cards already before, that’s how the NFL is set up. You may as well add in another variable and see what happens. If JPP is fine then the worst case scenario is that he is forced to eventually tell the Giants that and he is franchise tagged.

His value is only lowered if he is actually hurt. So if he isn’t he doesn’t have a ton to lose either. Why not fuck with the Giants and see what happens?

Because agents can’t go making enemies of NBA teams, it will bite them in the ass long-term. They’re going to have to work with those teams again in the future. And this will bother more than just the Dallas front office.

He’d probably be happy with a trade, negotiations for eventual long-term contract would probably go better. Him and Giants stalemated.

Big-time agents have power, they aren’t the player’s slave. Fegan reps players like Dwight Howard and John Wall, he’s not going to be pulled by the ear by Deandre Jordan if he doesn’t want to be. Agents need to stay on decent terms with teams because they know they’re going to have work with them again in the future.

Yes, if his hand is actually badly damaged he’s screwed, which is exactly why he wouldn’t let them in the hospital room, he would be desperate and trying to hide it.

Hmm, maybe I misinterpreted your comment, if so, I apologize. I’ve been getting a lot of responses from people who haven’t actually read my comment today, I’m surly.

Fegan is a big-time agent, he’s not that dependent on DeAndre Jordan. Dropping him is definitely going to be something he will privately consider. Maybe he won’t at the end of the day, but he’d have to think about it.

Please learn to read.

Aldridge met with the Lakers twice before making a decision. (He met with the Spurs twice too btw) Deandre made his decision and agreed to a deal with the Mavericks, then met with the Clippers the day before he was supposed to sign the contract. Not at all the same situation

Yes, he should play this silly game, did you read the comment?

I think it’s already over. Why even meet with the Clips if you weren’t going back? Dallas is about to get screwed.

It’s the smart move for JPP. He is better off with the Giants not knowing his condition no matter what.

If DeAndre goes back to Clippers, I wouldn’t be surprised if his agent dropped him. He’s got other clients, and this is really bad for business.

This is an offseason of sadness.

You really should post less.

Was following this as it happened and preparing for Bomani to lay the smack down, but the whole thing was just pretty awkward and now I feel like a loser having read it all.

They could always pull the kids scholarship. They haven’t though because he’s their prize recruit.

No it’s not, not when Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan are the ones finishing. They are freakish athletes, they finish poorly thrown lobs all the time.
