Nets sign Donatas Motiejunas to 4-year, $37M offer sheet

Sounds like they will decline and with the emergence of Dekker and Montrez they think they can cover their bases. I still maintain we need a low post scoring option especially in the playoffs when the pace significantly slows down.

 

Sounds more like they will match. Morey may just need the time to make the coresponding roster move to make room.

 

I hope they do.

 

Yeah but you have until March 1st to decide that. If Dmo is not showing a return to form or if he has back issues before then you can decline the 2nd year option and you have your cap money back.

You can lose Dmo today for nothing, or you can wait until March 1st too make that decision. It makes no sense not to punt.

 

DMo is the kind of player I don't mind matching for. He's a chemistry guy. He'll also give us that Boris Diaw type play. The contract is not that expensive considering how contracts are going these days.

 

Idk. If flexiblity is your 1st priority then you need to decide that now. With that being said I say you match no doubt. That contract is too team friendly and I think you could get rid of other pieces if you absolutely needed to make cap space.

 

If he is cut by March 1st it has no impact on flexibility.

 

Didn't we see what he had last season? Now, he hasn't played basketball in months and the rest of the league has shaken off the preseason rust and is running full steam. This dude is gonna be out of breath in 3 minutes with the way we play under D'Antoni and he's definitely going to be out of the loop. But hey, D'Antoni is a pretty good coach, he was even able to get Brewer to hit a few shots so I will assume he can incorporate DMo alright.

On a side note, we can sign and trade DMO with his approval the first year. I wonder if there is someone on the Nets squad that we could use more (and don't you dare say Lin) that we could swap with them for. Morey make some Magic!

 

Wouldn't it be silly to not match with that contract?

 

Yes of course but what if the team's wants him and wants to make a run at a Big dollar FA. Like what if they just miscalculate on their ability to do both and in hindsight were like I wish we had more flexiblity. Once again this a super small detail. They need to match. I mean didn't they offer him a two year deal anyways.

 

HE LOOK OK

 

Great idea, wait - - what? CanNOT be traded to Nyets under any condition for one full year.

 

Since the Nets are the ones that tendered the offer sheet we cant doing any trades involving Dmo with them.

Dmo having Veto power is not that big of a deal because the rockets still have complete control of the amount of minutes he gets to play. Dmo would rather be traded to a team that lets him play than rot on the bench.

Agents and their network of reps are pretty much immune from tampering. A team that is interested in getting Dmo in trade can simply ask Bj is Dmo interested in playing for team X.
Or Morey could even ask Bj what is a list of teams Dmo would be interested in playing for. In my mind the biggest hindrance is any Dmo trade is his ability to pass a physical.

 

Not if you believe in the potential in Harrell and Dekker.

 

What worries me is that Dekker and Trezs minutes will be reduced. I think Dekker is going to be special but he will only get better with more playing time.

 

Give him more time at the 3.

 

Must sign him on that contract.
It's stupid and naive to think all will go smooth with no injuries in our lean front line.
What do we do when Anderson get injured? Bring up Wiltijer?
