THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[captainsneakerhead23]

By the way I'm not a lawologist or anything but I'm pretty sure a verbal contract is legally binding

http://thelawdictionary.org/article/is-a-verbal-agreement-legally-binding/

"Verbal agreements and oral contracts are generally valid and legally binding as long as they are reasonable, equitable, conscionable and made in good faith."

"The reason oral contracts and verbal agreements are often looked warily upon is that they tend to present difficulties when it comes to enforcement. "

"When oral contracts are taken to court, there is always a risk of one of the parties lying about the terms of the agreement. In some cases, all parties may choose to be dishonest about the terms of the contract and thus create a legal impasse for the courts."

Nothing.

Should just start free agency on july 1

Legally binding when theres proof of such agreement, without such then its all hearsay and typically doesnt hold up in court. I'm not an attorney so I'm sure theres more @lawdog1  school us sir.

Too late for this. Once Lebron curved the Cavs on National TV for Miami then WENT BACK to that team it became WWE 

You right though.

The Clippers were not pleased with the way Dallas recruited Deandre Jordan and were not happy with Dan Faegan influence on the decision with Cuban. Also not happy with the fact that Dallas got to dine with DJ and Met with him on multiple occasions while LAC met with him once.

from what i heard, DJ went to Doc and said he regretted his decision from the go. Like I mentioned days ago, his agent was the guy who practically made DJ agree to go to Dallas. Its not this silly spat with CP3.

I dont blame the CLippers for going after him, you kidding me? This is a business. Without him, that franchise is going down hill fast, and Doc would be fired within a year or two. Just a matter of time before Ballmer blames everything on Doc.

I can't believe DJ is that powerful when it comes to one organization.

LAC became aware that DeAndre Jordan was having second thoughts "a few days ago. Blake Griffin has already talked to him, Chris Paul soon.

The Clippers are going all out, but I'm told it's not a one-way street. They're doing this because Jordan was and is having second thoughts.

 

[casper90403]

Welcome back DJ.

Clippers felt Jordan was being pushed to sign with Dallas by his reps. They bypassed normal channel of communication for this meeting.

 
@ArashMarkazi   17m17 minutes ago

Clippers breaking "unwritten" rules left and right for this last-ditch meeting with Jordan but in their minds it's worth it if he returns.

 

[noblekane]

This might turn ugly with cp3 there lol

DJ is the an absolute beast and he's going to continue to get better under the right tutelage. I'm hoping he stays.

This is so hilarious. If this thot really comes back to the guy that hurt his feelings I'm gonna have to get my Finally Famous on and dig some quotes up.

"Verbal agreements and oral contracts are generally valid and legally binding as long as they are reasonable, equitable, conscionable and made in good faith."

"The reason oral contracts and verbal agreements are often looked warily upon is that they tend to present difficulties when it comes to enforcement. "

"When oral contracts are taken to court, there is always a risk of one of the parties lying about the terms of the agreement. In some cases, all parties may choose to be dishonest about the terms of the contract and thus create a legal impasse for the courts."

All this is technically true of contracts generally, but here you also have the complicating factor of league rules and the CBA. Those rules dictate that FA contracts can't be signed until a certain date and could potentially override the general legal principle that oral contracts can be binding. In other words, per league rules, no FA contract is binding until the moratorium is lifted.

Plus, with service contracts, even if binding, when they're breached the remedy isn't to force the person to do what they signed up for (or, "specific performance" in legal terms) -- that looks too much like forced servitude, which the law frowns upon. Rather, its the payment of damages. So, bottom line, from a legal standpoint, even if DJ's verbal commitment to Dallas can be considered a binding contract, there's no way he can be forced to play for the Mavs if he really doesn't want to.

To really sum it up with a very technical legal term, this is just a ****** up situation all the way around.

Clippers are only breaking an "unwritten rule," not anything they can be sued for. Trust me, they did their due diligence before even trying to make this happen.
