he may not have much of a choice. don't see him making much on this next contract. Until he can prove he can actually be healthy will he then be looking at some bigger numbers. unathletic big with lingering back problems isn't something teams will be running over each other for.
dmo is injury prone. maybe he needs to go back to europe and play once a week instead of going through the heavy nba schedule?
if that injury has continuously kept you unhealthy more often than not then yes that's injury prone. doesn't matter if its 1 injury or 10.
Because avoiding a couple summer games is worth raising health concerns before signing the contract of your life. You are nonsensical.
If Dmo's contract is arround: - less than 10M Bargain - 10 M is a good contract for the rockets - 12M its ok - 12-15 M it is expensive but this is a bad year for teams to sign new contracts - 15-18 it is expensive, I dont know if the rockets hace to do it ( but remember OKC match Kanter last year for 18M - more than 18 let him go
What about source from his own lips one week ago? In this interview DMo says that contract issues is the MAIN issue he probably would miss the Olympics, because he can't tell how long it would take him to sign a new contract (example with Tristan Thompson who signed his contract one week before NBA season last year).

I guess you failed to see the source was from 3 days ago but hey one week ago obviously tells us so much more "from his own lips" whatever than means, when you're obviously only looking for something to help your agenda. But do carry on
