    Wait

    But I thought DMO was fully recovered and ready to go. Rockets were just holding him back so that they can showcase TJones and get him traded. That's what I heard.

    So what are all these back issues about DMo?

    The basketball Gods punishing Rockets fans for being the little baby b****es that they are. Morey potentially stole a lottery pick for a bum back player that may never play basketball again and everyone found a way to complain and cry. WORST TRADE EVER!!! Right guys? Bunch of armchair GMs that always know better right?

    We deserve this.

    Uh except we were the ones who didn't want Sean Elliot because he could not pass his physical. So in this case, that 1st round pick might end up being a player for the Pistions that helps them win a ring in the future while DMo's career is potentially over and we got nothing to show for it.

    It also says a lot about Rockets doctors.

    Damn Morey is a monster at this.

    He's gained so much respect from me - even more than he already has

    This is really a lose - lose proposition, if they void the trade, it's because they think DMo is jacked up long term so it sucks, if they go through with the trade it's because they think DMo is good to go long term so it sucks.

    if they dont' give the extension the window closes in one hour and then SVG will make his decision. I think he will keep him regardless.

    You guys don't understand what is happening. DMo is fine. But he's coming from serious injury, so Detroit asked for more time, to MAKE SURE he'll be OK IN THE FUTURE.

    I didn't like the trade, so assuming DMo can return to full health, I'm fine with it being voided.

    If I was him, I wouldn't. I'd feel like the Rockets are hiding something if they don't grant the extension.

    Yeah, this delay is to apply acid on Morey's burnt area. To show that a lot of doctors confirmed DMo is going to be fine.

    not even sure if it's the Rockets giving the extension and not the league office. This is a 3 team trade.

    Too bad this gives hope to OLW3 and he's still around. :rolleyes:

    This is a no win situation, we're not getting the D-Mo we want in any of the two scenarios.

    If D-Mo can return to full health, the trade won't be voided.

    If he can't, then we will have a D-Mo who two teams' physicians believe is not worth keeping.

    Great stuff, this is literally the only thing that could make us feel worse.

    My understanding is that the extension has to be agreed upon by both parties so it's not a league issue....but since it's a 3 team trade, maybe they have to have the approval by all 3 teams.
