Why does everybody think what the Clippers did is outrageous ? IMO, only person to blame is Deandre

The way the clippers handled it was disgraceful and shady. If they wanted to meet with DJ, then fine do it. But at least leave the house after and let the Mavs and agents talk to him. Instead they lock DJ inside and babysit him. Blake posts a picture of the chair in front of the door. It's all so childish and disrespectful. So BOTH DJ and the clippers are at fault for being little pieces of shit.
What comes around goes around though. I'm patiently waiting

Like Reggie said. Soon as a player commits to another team, it's time to move on. There's a reason why in 40-50+ years of free agency, there's only a few times a player has bailed. And the main example I can think of is Boozer where the Cavs were outbid by $30m and weren't even willing to get even close to that. So two very different situations. Plain and simple, it's bad ethics.

Doc could have not responded when Deandre reached out to him.

Why the fuck would he do that

There's literally no reason not to, but he could have steered him into a more professional way of doing this.

Doc has every right to respond, but I think DJ should have let the Mavs know about his decision as soon as he started getting cold feet. Someone should have called Cuban to inform him of what's going on. Secondly, the whole slumber party thing was very unprofessional in my opinion.

I don't blame the Clippers, anybody would have done the same given their situation. DJ is the one to blame for the mess.
Anybody would have stayed in their players house because they didnt trust him to sign until they left? lol
To me it really seems they just hung out with him so he could avoid the Mavs. But yes, teams do what they have to do to stay contenders.
But the clippers should have told DJ to be a man and call Cuban and say he changed his mind
I really don't think that's on them.
It would have been the right thing to do
Not calling the Mavs is all on DJ, nobody could have forced him to call if he didn't want to.
