Dunleavy on ESPN 710

My summary is below.

The interview itself can be heard here.

MDSr. is on fire. WOW!

Saying that Falk is doing spin control. 

Says that prior to opt out, Falk was asking for $120M, saying he would opt out and get $150M on the open market the next year.  DTS was not comfortable with that due to Achilles injury.  He said that if EB plays out the contract, he may give him that amount.

Falk then asked for a trade.  Clippers asked around.  No good trades.  Said they may opt out. (Time frame on this not clarified during this interview).

MDSr. says Brand personally told him that he wants to be a Clipper and will stay for $75M.  "Said Coach, if you can get me $15M a year, I'll stay".  Falk didn't know this happened and became upset that this negotiation was going on without him.  That is why he killed the deal.

"Ultimatum" that EB and Falk talk about was opt-out or don't opt-out.

Clippers have a contract that Falk drew up with his handwriting on it.  They had a checklist. They have text messages and assurances that getting Baron Davis would get it done.

MDSr. is reading texts from EB on the air right now indicating they have a deal. "Get me BD and 75 and I'm in"

Says EB confirmed that it was a done deal.  Wishes EB would have been honest if he wanted to go east.  He would have accepted that and wished him well.

Says that EB, Falk and Baron really know the truth.  Says Baron is pretty pissed because there was an agreement. 

MDSr. is pissed.  Says this is "the Baron Davis" era now.  Got a bunch of money and a willing owner and ready to go. 

Says Gordon and DeAndre Jordan look great in practice and will contribute. 

Says this is his ideal PG and the team will run this year.  Either way, they will be versatille.  Says Kaman is a very fast center and will be able to run, but they can also slow it down since guys like Baron, Kaman, Mobley and Thornton will all draw double teams in the post. 

Says there is NO bad contract on this roster. 

Thinks Mike Taylor will make the team as a third PG. 

By the way, they interviewed Falk before MDSr., and they believe MDSr. is telling the truth.
