DMo is on Inactive List -- Is a Suspension Coming? (Poll)

Please research what is happening here.

 

Waking up to like five new DMo threads. Fantastic.

Also per holic DMo isn't under contract, so how could we list him as inactive? Do teams typically put players on their active/inactive lists when they aren't on the team?

 

Has Royce White overcome his fear of flying?

 

It's actually still relevant. It means he can't just sit out this season and become a free agent. If they suspend him after 30 days he is still their player under contract until the last season covered by the contract he signed has been completed.

I wish you would research things and try to understand what's happening here!

 

After DMO signed that offer sheet from the Nets the option to part ways with the rockets became very low.

 

(Semi-informed but still drivel-ous, thanks anyway....)

Actually, figured they put that "last" year rule for SOME reason. Maybe there was some abuse before. But no matter now

So its for any season then. Let's see how much D-Mo's camp flinches

 

At this point D-Mo is below Royce. Royce was trying to draw attention to mental health issues and get rule changes, D-Mo is pouting because he signed a bad contract

 

BJ Armstrong certainly hasn't overcome his fear of reading.

 

My God what a waste of talent.

 

More from Larry Coon's blog (link)→December 8, 2016 at 8:26 am:
We’re getting into a gray area — it’s not entirely cut & dried. That said, my current interpretation is that he’s NOT considered to be under contract to the Rockets. There are two rules in play here:

(e) If, within three (3) days from the date it receives an Offer Sheet, the ROFR Team gives to the Restricted Free Agent a “First Refusal Exercise Notice” substantially in the form of Exhibit H annexed hereto, then, subject to Section 5(h) below, such Restricted Free Agent and the ROFR Team shall be deemed to have entered into a Player Contract containing all the Principal Terms (but not any terms other than the Principal Terms) included in the Uniform Player Contract attached to the Offer Sheet (except that if the Contract contains an Exhibit 6, such Exhibit 6 shall be deemed deleted). Such Contract may not thereafter be amended in any manner for a period of one (1) year.

The rule above says that when the team gives a First Refusal Exercise Notice, it is “deemed to have entered into a Player Contract.” However, it says it’s subject to Section 5(h), which says:

(h) Any Team may condition its First Refusal Exercise Notice on the player reporting for and passing, in the sole discretion of the Team, a physical examination to be conducted by a physician designated by the Team within two (2) days from its exercise of the Right of First Refusal. In connection with the physical examination, the player must supply all information reasonably requested of him, provide complete and truthful answers to all questions posed to him, and submit to all examinations and tests requested of him. In the event the player does not pass the physical examination: (i) the ROFR Team may withdraw its First Refusal Exercise Notice within two (2) days following the date upon which such physical examination is conducted; and (ii) if the First Refusal Exercise Notice is withdrawn, the player and the New Team shall be deemed to have entered into a Player Contract in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(f) above. In the event the player does not submit to the requested physical examination within two (2) days of the exercise of the Right of First Refusal then, until such time as the player submits to the requested physical examination and is notified of the results, the ROFR Team’s conditional First Refusal Exercise Notice shall remain in effect, except that the ROFR Team may elect at any time to withdraw its First Refusal Exercise Notice, which shall have the effect of invalidating the Offer Sheet and causing the Team that issued the Offer Sheet to be prohibited from signing or acquiring the player for a period of one (1) year from the date the First Refusal Exercise Notice was withdrawn. If the player does not submit to the requested physical examination on or before March 1, the Offer Sheet shall be deemed invalid and the Team that issued the Offer Sheet shall be prohibited from signing or acquiring the player for a period of one (1) year from such March 1.

This rule says:

1. The team can make the FREN subject to passing a physical.
2. If the player doesn’t cooperate, then the conditional FREN remains in effect.

So I think the situation we’re in with regard to D-Mo’s relationship with the Rockets is the same as it was for the first two days, while they were expecting him to report. The FREN isn’t complete, so he’s not deemed to be under contract.

 

The inactive list is dirty business

 

The laundry mat is a dirty business.

 

Has DMO also always been on the Rocket's site players gallery? I could have sworn he wasn't... but he's there now

No suspension - this is just sabre rattling negotiation.

You don't suspend a player and expect them to come in and play hard for you.....
