[Stein] Rockets Latest DMo offer "multiyear starts at a fully guaranteed $7m in Yr 1"

Lol

Had good discussions but no progress haha. Must have been talking about the new Amy Adams movie.

 

You can never have too many assets. get it done maury

 

That's EXACTLY why I asked the question.
With 4 or so threads on the same damn topic for a guy who clearly isn't interested or his feelings are hurt, I didn't understand why we're either still pursuing him or people are still wanting him on the team.
So whilst it may have been said 100s of times, my apologies for not wanting to pour through pages and pages.
If it's a case of 'we have no money for anyone else' - then fine, I'm happy to still pursue him under that basis. But that would be about the only reason right now.

 

Guess there was truth to him signing by the 24th rumor.

 

What's up with your boy dmo man.

At this point he's wasting his career and money.

7m is still 7m even if just for 1 year. It's not like holding out is going to magically make his value go up, not saying it would go down either but still a much higher probability than the other.

Is he just not serious about basketball? This is one of the more bizarre situations I have seen in a long time especially when you factor in he has a guaranteed 7m offer for at least this season. I mean if he was waiting to see if the team would struggle, that ship has sailed this team has shown they will be in the hunt for a top 4-6 seed without him. Sure he can help but he's also not pushing the needle.

 

Go for it. Like I said even if DMo signs he's not going to impact the team much. I don't think he will get much PT. By the time he gets caught up and into basketball game shape the season will be half over with.

 

yep and the Rox lost to the Lakers,San Antonio and OKC 6 minute shooting drought in the 4th period by less than 10 points all 3 games combined. I think DMO could've scored at least 10 points and grabbed 3-4 rebounds combined winning at least 2 of these 3 games if not all 3. Rox are not that far behind the spurs in my opinion...DMO once again an X-Factor by default. The Rox win/loss record would look a whole heck of a lot better right now beating those teams. So how many more stupid/frustrating close games does Morey wanna loose by a 1 or 2 points because Anderson/Ariza not hot enough in games like the 2 above mentioned....or a lack of grabbing an extra 1 or 2 rebounds/post up buckets that DMO could've provided in those 3 games is the question I got.

DMO doesn't need to be GREAT just between "average and good" in my opinion on the court. Remains to be seen. Tick Tock Morey

 

That is incredibly flawed logic. You see this argument all the time - if only we had "X" player in the game who would have scored "Y" and since we only lost by "Z" we would have won... It just doesn't even come close to working that way. It about the net effect of the player not that he can score 10 and we lost by 5 silly stuff. So many factors, who does he replace while he was in there, what sort of chemistry that is lost or gained by their presence, is this a person the opposing team can ignore, mistake prone?, turnover prone?. DMo has some nice qualities but last year his VORP was minus -.3 and in fact was negative 3 out of his 4 years in the NBA. His offensive win share last year was zero. DMo's +/- was negative all 4 years he has played and last year across 37 games it was a whopping -4.3 points per game. I think the guy might have potential but sheesh his impact will not be large.

 

It might happen or not but one thing I learned from this. The Rockets FO is good at talking.....

 

Let's see how this ends. A good gerency at talking would end getting the player they want for the price they want.

 

Why not? DMo does one thing, post up. Dekker can shoot, he's more athletic, he's more physical, he finishes above the rim & he's a better defender. Trez is a better defender, better shotblocker, runs the court better and better mid range shooter. BOTH are more physical PF's. What imaginary skillset have you given DMo?

 

some players just don't understand. In the NBA you are worth what the next highest bid is.

if there is no other bid, then you smile and say thank to the team willing to give you a contract.

 

That fact that he and/or his agent are balking at that offer makes it feel like the Ryan Anderson effect. I think he saw what Ryno got and feels he's worth much more than the last offer.

 

Unless you're Latrell Spreewell and need to feed your kids.

 

At this point I gotta wonder if the dude is damaged goods....

Either he knows he can't last the year, so needs to maximize this contract... or he's just stupid....

either way - damaged goods...

 

So he either has a back injury or a brain injury. At this point, I'm starting to agree. The first offer O.K. but if he really has a 7 mill guaranteed and he is not taking it, dumb diddy dumb.

 

So the Rockets never went on any scoring droughts when Dmo actually played. And we would have won every game because Dmo is that, "it factor type player".

The damn dream lives on. Here we go with this bloated nonsense. Last season you same jokers were saying how Dmo was going to change the dynamics of that team. Guess what, it never happened.

The hype for this dude is unreal. Wow

 

It's money and role. He's not interested in being a trade pawn. Unless he's going where he wants to go. DMo has plenty of leverage here. And the longer this goes on the more leverage he is going to have. He's not losing a dime. He can sign an offer sheet at any time. It's available. And if nothing is resolved beforehand he will sign an offer sheet very close to March 1 which will basically make him untradeable without his approval for the length of the contract if the Rockets match. That's where we're headed if we can't get all the ducks lined up before the trade deadline. (Provided the new CBA doesn't cross over the trade deadline and last day for restricted free agents to sign offer sheet days.)

 

Exactly, you don't pass up on guaranteed millions in this NBA when you know you can get paid if you perform. That's why I don't believe he wants to play overseas. If I'm good then I take $2 million for 1-2 seasons in the NBA than $5 million for 1-2 seasons overseas because I know I will get paid once I prove myself.

 

Tainted Meat!!
