Welcome back Donatas Motiejunas!!!!

A few weeks ago it was NOT ANOTHER DIME, NOT ANOTHER NICKEL!! Now -- well, we've just got to pull together and support them. Lolz.

 

SVG finally saw video of DMo not rebounding and rescinded the trade.

Morey should sue.

 

Sometimes you gotta risk your nickels and dimes

 

Tell em DD, this team needs shooting, and it traded away two of its best (although I'm not the biggest Thornton fan).

Getting D-Mo back is great as long as he's relatively healthy. The guy does get a lot of hype on this board, but deservedly so. He's a good passer, scorer and spacer that can help this ugly offense, and isn't a drop-off defensively compared to our other options.

 

Oh, I am still not paying until they try hard....I support them just without my hard earned money until they prove they are trying to win.

let's not mix up stuff, mmmmkay?

DD

 

You're all over the place. That just is what it is.

 

I think part of the reason he's so excited is that Le$ finally has to pay the damn tax, lol.

 

One creepy dude. Atleast we know he isnt morey

 

No, you just don't understand that things can be the same - I am not supporting this team FINANCIALLY until they prove they can play hard consistently, but I always watch the games and hope they get there.

See - that is not so hard to understand, right?

You have no idea...bwhahahahahahahah

DD

 

You must be mistaken. Everybody knows DD is among the most level-headed and rational posters on the forum.

mmmmkay?

:grin:

Am I reading this correctly, but weren't Pistons going to accept the trade if they could change the protection on pick?

Doesn't say DMo's career is over.

 

Still not afraid to go in the woods....

But MAY be afraid to go to the chiropractor

 

SVG saw high risk that DMo is done

 

Pure conjecture.

SVG just thought that the risk is too high relative to the value he's giving up. He'd probably do that trade with a lottery protected pick.

 

Then he violated NBA rules and should be banned from the league.

 

I'm pretty sure GMs violate NBA rules all the time and disguising it as something else. Running a franchise isn't just black & white everytime.

 

Did Rudy do that with Elliot?

They will never prove anything - and SVG saying "Too much risk" is enough of a qualifier.

DD

 

But is that legal? He rescinded trade not because DMo didn't pass the physical in that case.
