Sources: D-Mo to skip physical again to hold out on the new contract he agreed to 30 minutes ago because he doesn't like the terms that he just agreed on. J/K. But I wouldn't be surprised if they did this.
To the Rockets, this is a MUCH MUCH better deal than matching the Nets offer. Thank you, BJ. For giving the Rockets another trade chip for our next piece of the championship, We will never forget about this.
NOICE. That's easily worth the extra 1 mill per season we gave him. 8.75 mill per season average, only 1 season guaranteed, 3 years of team options. Likely a declining salary. What a great contract for the Rockets. If Dmo can return to shape, this deal will be a absolute steal and or a great trading piece.
Yep, most of us saw how this would end.....good for everyone involved. DMo gets his money, Rockets get flexibility - we get a solid rotational big. Win win, now we can go back and enjoy this season. Oh, and DMO - FIRE your agent. DD
He was running out of options and had no leverage. Should've taken the QO. But I'm very happy with this result.
What if his time in Houston right now is Morey letting Dmo showcase himself and then gets traded at the draft?
Then we just sit on his original contract, which is worse for him. In that contract, he gets paid less than 8M a year and this year, about a quarter less.
