DMO's agent "Rockets not doing enough to re sign him"

I don't think that a guy that has had 1 injury in 4 years is chronically injured.

OK, no offense but this is naive and frankly not well thought out. You must be a new fan and not been around for all of Morey's RFA - this is Standard operating procedure.

They want him on the cheap, that is how the Rockets do business - can't blame them those are the rules - Dmo will have to play on the cheap for at least a year.

But now, i am not sure he can even get a ONE year deal, I think the Rockets could play hard ball and go well, you turned down the QO, the only contract we will offer is a 3 year deal, first at 4.4m and next two team options.

And because he is Restricted he is stuck.

You clearly missed my point. If he was a top priority or if they were confident in his back issues, they would have been signed this dude. They would not be trying to get him for cheap. Better yet they wouldn't have tried to swindle the Pistons.

And watch our with that nonsense about me being new to this. We have been going back and forth about Dmo for a long time. I know exactly how Morey the asset king operates.

 

... hindsight is 50/50?

 

If the league thought DMo's back was healthy then the Rockets would have already made a decision about matching another team's offer during the summer.

At this point, DMo is only hurting himself by being naive and more importantly, missing out of training camp and the pre season.

 

Better than 20/20 I guess

 

hurry up, hurry up, sign the ****in paper b****! sign for cheap, sign for cheap, hurry up you piece of ****. hurry up and sign it god daam you!

 

Sometimes, yes ... like this:

"In hindsight, we were a 50/50 team whether we fired McHale or not."

and

"Even in hindsight, there's a 50/50 chance Trump still makes the same r****ded tweets at 3:00am."

 

Do you know of a good number of players with serious back injuries who returned to previous form and who did not miss time in subsequent years because of it? You seem to view his injury as so trivial, which is a real headscratcher to me.

 

The Answer: FIRE MOREY!!!!

 

Well as DMo had minor surgery, I am not sure what your point is...

DD

 

Doesn't seem so minor, considering time missed, impact on his performance afterwards, and the fact no one is interested in him as a free agent when a healthy DMo would get loads of money. But nothing was amputated, so I guess you are right about it being minor

 

Not minor. Seriously dude what planet? Omg.

 

He only got the surgery that ended Tiger Woods. Technically he should have been back for the 14-15 playoffs. Technically. He struggled to get back the entire 15-16 season. #Minor

 

You guys are exaggerating, Sam Dekker had it, Ryan Anderson had something similar, Dwight Howard had it, it is a minor procedure that does take time to heal. He was not 100% healed last year, until close to the end of the season.

The reason he is not getting offers is because teams would have to overpay him as he is a RFA, and they know the Rockets would match.

Is the back a concern? Sure but if we're a REAL problem Houston would not have even offered him the QO.

That is about it.

DD you are over exaggerating big timer. I surely hope Dmo is paying you something for pumping him up so hard on here and probably other forums.

You don't even give our best player this type of love.

 

Ryan Anderson hasn't had a reoccurring back issue (it was his neck actually) so he proved he can manage it and be productive.

Dwight Howard has proved he can still average a double double.

Sam Dekker is on a rookie contract and missed an entire season. Dekker has 3 more seasons to prove he can be productive NBA player.

There is simply too much uncertainty regarding DMo's health which is corroborated by the lack of league interest. DMo simply hasn't proved anything.

 

The QO comes with literally no risk. You get that right?

The only risk is that he out-performs the contract and they're on the hook for a big long-term deal.

By offering only the QO, the Rockets clearly think the above won't happen.

 

The QO has risk it is a roster spot and cap room, ask TJones whether there is risk.

The Rockets would offer NOTHING if they thought it was a serious issue.
