Harsh message but it makes more sense now.
Either way, they BOTH kinda look like ***** at this point.

[QUOTE=StroShow4]Even if it's all true... still, just BAD execution here. At least wait until the season is over if it's a big problem. And what I don't get is why it hasn't mattered over the past 10 or 15 years? Why is it suddenly a problem now?[/QUOTE]
Because before you couldn't make money off the Clippers. Now this guy is probably making six figures EASILY off the Clippers name and on top of that getting great, free season tickets every year just to cheer loud. One thing we all have to remember is this dude was hinting at defecting from the Clippers and was courted by Mark Cuban to jump ship and made it seem like he was considering it.
[quote=TheBluest]Yes those items are on Darrell...Clipper logos plastered on everything he had/has his name attached with the Clipper name. His car, his gear, his websites etc etc
Also when attending games he often occupies some of the best seats in the house
Representation can be misconstrued/understood however you believe. By setting boundaries they no longer will be. Clippers should have chose a better time to set those boundaries but their requests are more than reasonable.
And get this if you go to his Official Clipper Darrell website he has Jeremy Lin Wallpaper in a Dallas Maverick Uni....lulz at this clown. So go ahead and think this guy doesn't have any agendas[/quote]
Oh, it is the guy I was thinking about. He's a great fan. Too bad the Clipper heads don't care.

Didn't Cuban offer him a million dollars or some sh!t? And he turned it down, right?

Yes... but he turned it down for selfish reasons. I've heard the guy makes 500k+ a year off the Clippers name for the last 15+ years. 1 mill ain't sh** to him. So it's not like he turned it down due to loyalty. The brand is worth SO much more this year that the Clippers didn't want him making millions off their name in an unofficial capacity.
As I said before... Clippers are doing the right thing... BUT... the timing and execution of it.. is terrible.
Wow. Clippers need to fire their PR team.
[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]DeAndre Jordan: "I love Clipper Darrell"
You would think the Clippers would at least [B]consult their star players[/B] before risking rubbing them the wrong way. Then again it is the Clippers. Not exactly an organization associated with class.[/QUOTE]
What would that have to do with DeAndre Jordan?
LMAO. Somebody just tweeted...
"Clippers got rid of Darrell on the last day of Black History Month".
This has Donald T Sterling's hands all over it...

I meant CP3+Griffin who both tweeted about it. Though DJ is a core piece and has a huge billboard picture right next to CP3+Griffin on the hotel next to Staples.
Protecting your trademark is something you HAVE to do. But man, calling him out in an official press release like that? That's just petty.

Oh god.:oldlol: :roll:
[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]I agree... but is it worth penny pinching and upsetting your franchise players who love him?[/QUOTE]
They will get over Clipper Darrell.

Yeah, that was definitely not the right move. :oldlol:
Haha almost a Dan Gilbert-esque type letter.

Seemed pretty candid and unprofessional
