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

It is a shame it has come down to this.

 

Don't do that. You'll be wasting your time.

This should be moved to the NBA dish. He's not a rocket and won't be one again.

 

It might not even be appropriate for the NBA dish if DMo continues just sitting out. Hypothetically if DMo sits out this entire season, do the Rockets need to make a QO to him again next year in order to keep his status as restricted or is he a restricted FA for the Rockets forever until he ends up on an NBA roster somewhere?

 

Nene would have backed up Capela/DMo if DMo would have been smart enough to sign.

DMo plays the 4/5, not seeing how Anderson takes a huge chunk of his minutes when it would have been Dekker/Harrell getting the short stick.

Wing/Front court:

Ariza/Brewer/Dekker/Kj
Anderson/DMo/Dekker/Harrell
Capela/DMo/Nene/Harrell

And that's assuming Morey wouldn't have moved anyone. This whole betrayal thing is grasping at straws as Anderson and DMo play entirely different games.

 

He was getting his money....in a sign-and-trade. Just wait till the whole story comes out.

 

I didn't think we could s&t him at this point.

Why don't you tell US the whole story?

 

Not seeing how Anderson takes his minutes???

Okie dokie. Don't know what to say here to help you see it. Ryno is strictly a 4. He's not a 5, can't play 5 at all. So he's a big 4. There's 32 minutes at the 4 spot......gone. Secondly.....You have to understand that MDA likes to go 4 smalls. So there's your other 16 minutes at the 4-spot gone to Trevor, Dekker, Harden, etc.

That leaves the 5 spot. As long as Capela is still here, there's 25-30 minutes gone at the 5 spot. So DMo is basically pigeon-holed into splitting 20-25 backup center minutes with Nene. Does that sound like a primary rotation role to you? Spot minutes at the 5 with basically no minutes at the 4? I have no idea why you can't see that. MDA's rotation only has room for basically 2 1/2 bigs. Since he's going to play smalls at the 4 at least 15-20 minutes a game, that leaves only around 70-80 minutes for the bigs. 30 + 30 + 10/20 = 70-80 minutes. Do the math.

Here's what happened. When MDA was selling DMo as the sixth man, DMo was thinking first big off the bench was second big. He thought MDA was going to start the game with 4 smalls and one big. That interested him. Because it would have been 30 minutes and a bigger paycheck. Other teams were/are interested in DMo as a starter. Free agent recruited to start? You think they're gonna pay him 8 a year? Nope.

I still say DMo is getting his money. It's gotten complicated but he's going to get his money.

 

No. I was right about that. Deal was lined up. Why do you think DMo hasn't caved this far into the season? If you think it's because him and BJ are stupid then you're ignorant. They are not caving because they know there's way more money available than 7 million or the 4 million you expected him to settle for.

 

Stein did say DMO was close to a contract (not from the Rockets). Just not clear if that contract is from an NBA team or an overseas team?

 

Basketballholic has been getting destroyed on these boards for the past couple of years. It's so embarrassing honestly. Just watching the exposing happen is awful. Sometimes you just have to step away from the keyboard and take the L.

 

Well of course Anderson will take some of his minutes, but Anderson plays the 4 strictly while DMo can play primarily at the 5 under MDA.

Remember, prior to the start of the season we didn't know how well Capela would playing so I don't know how the Anderson signing was a betrayal when they don't play the same spots. Again, it would be Nene, Harrell, and to some extent Dekker losing minutes.

DMo had the perfect opportunity to be the first big men off the bench and do some play making for the second unit....

Did those other teams not realize they simply needed to make an offer?

Maybe next year?

 

How is it possible? Why hasn't a single team made a higher offer than the Rockets? The higher money sure isn't available overseas.

 

Holic keeps embarrassing him self and its obvious how you're posts don't pan out the way you claim them( like you know something) so just save you're self and us sometimes shut up please.
