    well - given this season of tragic errors, I'm placing my money on DaDakota actually having a successful video game and his company going bonkers so he ends up buying the rockets from Les and we are forced to watch a team of Langhi, Dmo, Vspan, Wafer w/ DD doing his best chuck impersonation at the 4.

    I guess then we'd at least be looking forward to a 76rs like run

    Well...at least that leaves the guess work out of the equation.

    He is broken goods.

    If you can call him goods.

    Off to the dust bin he goes!

    Damn... talk about bad luck

    Rockets have been a participant in EVERY botched trade I can remember :eek:

    Have there been any other resended trades in league history?


    Yao used to piss me off with the "surprise injuries".

    Injuries where verything seems to be fine, then, "surprise" out for 3 months.

    No awkward falls, no turned ankles,....then, S U R P R I S E ! ! ! ! !

    That's what I am wondering. What does it take to not pass the physical? Everybody knew DMo was injured. What did they have to have to void the trade?

    And yeah, I don't think doctors would lie about this. But medical prognosis is like weather report. It's just a probability guess.

    Good thing you respond and corrected the misinformation. I was doubtful but didn't have time to check up into it and hoping that someone would correct it if it's not accurate.

    If I remember correctly Dmo was checked out by both the Piston's doctor's and also a specialist in New York as well. So it's not just the Piston's doctors refusing to clear him, it's an outside specialist as well.

    So back to the original question. Do they share findings with all team involved so they can verify it's not bs? At least some signed doc from dr I would think would be required.

    You do have to convince the NBA Medical Director that you have enough reason to void a contract and screw over two other teams.

    I assume you have to at least show why you cannot clear the player to play. I'm not seeing how this can be about "He can play now sure, but our probability charts show X, Y, Z" One would hope the Medical Director would say, "Well, if he can play now, then he's yours."

    My assumption is our doctors told the Pistons he is cleared to play. And the Detroit doctors disagreed with that. Then they couldn't give SVG an exact date he could resume play, so SVG voided the trade. The other reasons sound like nonsense to me...wrt he can play now, but Pistons saw something in the medical crystal ball about the future beyond typical ongoing issues/symptoms.

    I feel real bad for Dmo. This young man work real hard, I mean real hard unlike others just party all nights, for his future yet he 's been told his career is in jeopardy. Life is so unfair.

    I thought a deal was a deal. That should have all been cleared beforehand.

    Can we say our team doctors suck? Or Morey tried to lie about Dmo condition to Svg? Either way this doesn't look very good for the front office.

    40% from the field and 33% from three is pretty bad
