    That 3M is post taxes. It's more like a 6M one year deal in NBA. of that 31M only 5M were guaranteed. So

    Just two years ago, we thought DMo and Lawson would be our main pieces to become a contender. Now they are going to be Golden State ... uh... Golden Stars main pieces, maybe.

    Shoutout to all the Clutchfans that blamed James Harden for Ty Lawson being bad at basketball

    Well, since both TJones and DMo are on 1yr contracts, and the CBA season ends early enough for players to get end-of-year contracts for the playoffs (remember Beasley), we'll have a Watch Thread soon enough.

    I think Dmo could have easily been in a different place right now. Too bad. Making millions still isn't the worst thing though.

    Not a bad deal for DMo, actually. $3M net of taxes would be like a $5M contract in Texas. Plus, the CBA's season finishes before the NBA's does so he could still try to sign with a team for the playoffs if anyone were interested in him.

    So TJ contract with Chinese team was biggest ever (2 mill) , D-Mo chase him down and made him obsolete (with 3 mil)?
    D-Mo kinda Beardman only in China.

    3 years ago this forum was arguing over which of TJones or DMo would be the next great Rockets power forward.

    I see that someone has already pointed this out, but still. Crazy.

    Funny how this place was once obsessed with garbage/unproven DMo. He always had NBA bust written all over him. Good luck to him though.

    $3 million net is not a bad contract. He made the smart decision in chasing the money at this juncture in his career.
