    Thats it, near billion on contracts were agreed in two days.. But DMo wasnt in first wave, so it means his injury record really hurts his value, so Rockets definitely match contract whatever it is 10-16m/yr.

    Definitely don't think so. He won't be able to handle that workload every night until he declares himself 100% healthy and is clear of any back issue. Until that is does he won't be anymore then a 20-25 mins player if he can play that night

    No, it means he is RESTRICTED, teams go after the UFA first.

    JR it's been established that we're not allowed to have opinions on self proclaimed insiders.

    You're my main PF D-Mo

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">According to a source, Coach MDA told Motiejunas that he wanted DMo to be his 'main PF'.

    You can see the future right? Unless Rockets can get some big name DMo will be main PF (if he stays)

    So by DMO. We could have had him for significantly less than Anderson. Ugh.

    I can see they just signed Ryan Anderson to be their main PF.

    Ryno is going to play more than dmo and rightfully so. Solid signing. Rocketd finally have a true shooter and he fits right in with what the rockets do. Obviously paying him a bit more than ideal but at this point not much of a choice

    Cough ugh, he ment center.


    Honestly if matching Dmo will be worth it.

    We already have Beasley/Harrell to backup Anderson, don't like centers that can't rebound or play D, especially with our newly signed PF.

    Honestly wouldn't DMo with Anderson be perfect. People always said DMo had no room to operate with Howard down low, now he's free to post up all he wants

    If defense and rebounding weren't a thing, yes.
