Told that for the first time this season the Rockets could be whole with Pat Beverley back this week, likely Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers, Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni corrected with a reference to unsigned free agent Donatas Motiejunas. "Almost," D'Antoni said. "We still have Motiejunas out there. I think we'll have to pick him up in Canada somewhere." Motiejunas might not be considered on the team, having refused to accept the Rockets offer worth $7 million in the first season. He has remained training in Vancouver. A person with knowledge of the situation said Monday there have been no negotiations or ongoing talks and no changes in the Rockets' long-standing offer. http://www.chron.com/sports/rockets/article/Rockets-still-waiting-on-Donatas-Motiejunas-10616129.php
D'antoni is sticking up for Dmo , while at the same time putting pressure on him and Morey to sign . I'm ok with this .
This is a continuation of news regarding the $7m offer, rather than this now incorrect $4.4m offer. I'm going to paste the Chron quote there, as well.
We are about to start a stretch against teams with legit centers . Capela played well last night ; but Adams , Gobert are much more experienced and are better than embiid right now . The front lines of the western conference are no joke and having Dmo back to bolster our options would be really nice right about now
And not just score . The west has a lot of beef . We need someone who can be at least somewhat psychical with them if nene or Clint is off or has foul trouble . Ryan can't do it . I think Harrell is also too small
So was the OP's source pretty much So can we now say the source was fake? Since it's so annoying to have to explain and all... LOL
Lol you can say whatever you please. I didn't make it up. But not all deals come to fruition. I just told you guys what they told me. No im not an insider. That doesn't mean I didn't have indie info just once. But man wish we signed Dmo by now! Team is looking good. Would have been nice to see what we had with him.
I guess the only remaining question is: If your "indie" source tells you something again, will you start a new thread about it, or think twice that maybe his info isn't that solid.
Lol it was someone with good knowledge of the situation and who is in the organization, so I really was!
