Its not unnecessary or weird, it's a good gesture what's wrong about making your own player feel needed and appreciated? At the end of the day its still better for your own player to feel like he was treated well even if he ended up leaving for the other team. He may or he may not lower his contract, there's no harm in trying either way so what's your problem? Maybe for you its abnormal but in my opinion this is something FOs should have done since the beginning, we've always had our RFAs wait around and it causes a lot of hurt feelings specifically Parsons said one of the reasons he left was because he got treated like chopped liver by the Rox FO, ignoring him while they waited on Chris Bosh. And I don't even get your rant I've looked at the past couple of posts here where is the xenophobic post?
Missed this post, glad I'm not the only one that takes notice. I thought the guy was genuine but its just part of his hipster I support the poors sometimes act.
Rockets again are showing why they are so clueless. Great job Morey and Co. Bwhahaha And some really thinks this is a smart move. Why would Dmo come back here anyways. Way to set yourself up for another failure Morey.
I dont' care what his problem and sickness is. This is the GARM. I want to go read a thread about DMO in the GARM without having my whole country and nation repeatedly insulted. I don't see how this is too much to ask?
Yea, when it comes to Greece Sam has never been able to help himself , "3rd world Yogurt stand carts" "So bad syrians wouldn't even go there" ---is part of his normal routine when he wants to take a jab at DD. I don't think he harbors any animosity, but even saying that sort of stuff is uncalled for and I can see why you are this upset considering it is your home country. Clutch and R2K get a lot of reports and are pretty busy with keeping this site running. If they haven't gotten to it yet, they will soon, have faith in them--- and try not to take Sam too seriously, he can go overboard and not mean it.
yes thank you LPH. I just got really angry. I had put him on ignore for a long time now after all the time reporting him, because I know what kind of human he is, and I clicked on it for once to see the response about Vspan. Should have known better than reading his garbage.
Pitch to keep Motiejunas If Dwight Howard signs elsewhere or the Rockets renounce their rights to him, the team could have in excess of $46 million of cap room, depending on the final cap figures and decisions with its other free agents. The Rockets are expected to make a pitch to Howard and to work to keep Donatas Motiejunas, whom they believe would fit well in Mike D'Antoni's offense. They would have loved to have had that kind of spending room in past seasons when they were viewed as a team on the rise. But after a fall to 41-41 and a five-game, first-round playoff exit, the Rockets might have to choose between a long-shot pursuit of a top free agent and targeting players they are more likely to be able to land with an all-out recruiting effort they have reserved in the past for the top players. Even then, they and most teams will have to decide whether they are willing to pay solid rotation players like All- Stars. "It's a balance," Morey said of whether to chase long-shot star free agents or go all-out after more likely targets. "You definitely have to judge, especially early. Later it's not a big deal. You'll have time to meet with lots of players. "My guess is that just like usual there will be a lot of big deals early, but then I think it will be slow because once all the players that are worth the max go, teams and players will be struggling for what their level will be this offseason because of the dynamics of the cap." http://www.houstonchronicle.com/spo...e-into-free-agency-with-open-mind-8325581.php
No, chandler left because the Mavs game him a max contract that we would have been stupid to match. Morey was convinced we would match for Parsons but he didn't expect anyone to go that high. So it sounds like he's trying to get dmo to sign with us before he goes out and gets a big offer
Yes it is isn't it? Does anyone get the feeling like Morey is slowly losing power? Maybe this is a Dantoni move?
Morey with the bull**** again, watch us overpay for a player like Harrison Barnes and then sign a bunch of ****ty players.
Definitely gotta pay & keep broken back D-Mo. [rQUOTEr]Donatas Motiejunas confirmed that the chance to play in the Olympics are very small. The power forward will be free agent from July 1 and the back is not 100% recovered yet. “My desire to play for the Lithuanian National Team is huge and being at the Olympic Games would be a dream. But I have to admit that the hopes to play for Lithuanian National Team are not high” Motiejunas said. “I don’t know yet how long will be my new contract in the NBA. And the back is not 100% recovered yet. The specialists told me that it is necessary to strengthen it and I have to make specific exercises. I still hope to play for Lithuania but I am aware that I may not play for the National Team” Motiejunas added. http://www.sportando.com/en/nationa...for-lithuania-in-olympic-games-are-small.html[/rQUOTEr] [rQUOTEr]"My desire to play the Lithuanian national team is huge, and participation in the Olympics is a dream. But I have to admit that hopes to play the national team is not high, - said D.Motiejūnas. It is totally unclear how long the new agreement. The back is not 100 percent recovered. Specialists say it is necessary to strengthen it and work according to specific exercises. Inside, still I am hoping that maybe somehow it worked out successfully, but actually aware that circumstances may not allow the national team to play. " This week D.Motiejūnas had come to Lithuania and together with the NBA league and the rich famous coaching staff held its name basketball camp in the country's most talented sixteen. After a few days of basketball will be held in Houston, where he will start talks with the Rockets' team leaders on a new contract is signed. http://www.15min.lt/24sek/naujiena/...vajones-lietuvos-rinktineje-nezais-875-644153[/rQUOTEr]
Can't believe he just said his back is not 100% and it might prevent him from playing in the Olympics. His agent must have cringed. Also, how can he say after the trade that everything was fine, and he will sue Detroit, then now 4 months later, he's admitting it's still not good enough to play for his national team.
This isn't a good sign. Morey is grasping for straws, here. He feels the need to mend the relationship with DMo, he knows we struck out on Durant(the big plan), and I do not think any good FA will take us seriously besides maybe Whiteside. This is where we go downhill. I think if we really do not get lucky this off-season or next, Harden's gone the following.
It's a scary position to be in. Desperation to be relevant will mean paying lots of money to average players.
