ESPN: Donatas Motiejunas won't report to Rockets cause of $6M difference

I doubt he became as rich as he is with this mentality.

 

This is an embarrassing opinion on multiple levels.

 

This is laughable and irrelevant.

Super Skilled labor like DMo and all NBA players is not even closely relatable to your self employed business. It is more akin to being a movie star, than it is to regular folks like you and I.

They are very rare commodities, people that can thrive in the NBA, and as such will require more than what you are saying......

I will give you a participation trophy for trying though.

You said the same shlt just 20 hours ago.

And it will be the same shlt you and a bunch of DM fan club members b****ing again by tomorrow and then the day after tomorrow and then......

The ball is not in the Rockets court, its always been Dmo's decision, which is a pathetic one so far.

We are not waiting for Dmo to save our season, in fact, we are not waiting on him to do any shlt other than fulfilling his contractual obligation.

The Rockets on this issue and on this player has always been at the "wait and see" mode, and that's why this shlt is not going anyway because the team definitely can wait and will wait till next summer and even after that, if Dmo will want to continue his shltty drama.

 

Nothing to do with post count everything to do with human nature, and DMo being a SUPER rare commodity - the same rules that apply to you and I, do not apply in this situation.

Wtf is people blaming the agent for?

White boys gona protect white boys no matter low class a person is.

Dmo is on Latrell sprewell level stupidity. Even worse than than sprewell because at least latrell could play.

 

This is completely false. List how many people RFA has screwed over and how they were screwed over.

Morey is not trying to screw anyone or making this difficult. All he did was match what he was required to match. It is on DMo and BJ to find and sign a contract that THEY wanted, not Morey.

 

Harden is the leader of this team, before it was Dwight and perhaps Terry. Now though it's just Harden. I don't think there are any other 'leaders' on the team so they'll follow Harden's lead. If Harden sticks up for DMO then yes, it could. If someone else on the team sticks up for him...then yes...

But remember...Bobby Brown and Harden were friends. Harden was the reason Brown was on the team. I'm not sure Harden would be sticking up for a guy who is willing to put his NBA career in jeopardy and is now at least part of the reason Brown was cut. I mean if we want to analyze this that way I don't think Harden would have much sympathy or empahy for DMO...but I'm not Harden so who knows.

I don't it is a given that NBA players would take his side. After all it's not like the Rockets have done wrong to any of the other players on the team. Everyone else seems happily paid.

 

Are you daft? We did the exact same thing with D-Mo. We extended him a QO and he refused. We extended him a contract that said where we stood on him and he refused. We never offered him this contract he signed. Him and his agent found it and signed it. We just matched it. End of story. There are no other what if's. The entire situation is extremely simple.

 

Riiiight... If he was Super Skilled labor or rare, we wouldn't even be having this asinine situation and discussion. If he was any of those, he would have already been signed, not spend a quarter of the season looking for a team friendly contract that HE signed. You probably support giving all the kids participation trophies too don't you? As long as all the losers feel like winners right?

 

Anyone know what happens if D-Mo shows up eventually, lets say right after Christmas, and the Rockets find something really bad on his physical and fail him. How does that negatively impact the Rockets if at all?

IMO that would be more important than anything to me if I was Morey. If I waive the physical just so I can start fining him, and force him to the bench, I risk him being signed for no reason and affecting my cap space this Summer if I don't waive him before his date which I can't remember off the top of my head when that is that his contract becomes fully guaranteed.

Only thing is if the Rockets fail him after Detroit already failed him, boy... its going to be really tough for D-Mo to get another contract offer with that red flag out there.

 

The Black Only fan is here.

 

LOL Because contract negotiation and making sure the client understands the terms of said contract before signing is the agent's job. It doesn't appear that that was done properly here. You trolling?

 

It used to be the LOF being the joke of this forum and all of their ridiculous and dumb fork comments are just funny.

Today,

you just topped them all.

Gratz.

 

Then the offer sheet from the Nets will become contract and he will be a Net.

 

Yes he is. @J Hard is pro-black, anti-white.

 

I am. But regardless, I don't feel as if Rockets lose out if Dmo walks for nothing. By him being gone, we got to see a lot more of Dekker and Harrell. By them playing more, improving, and with the Rockets winning, their value has increased.

So if I'm the Rockets I hold off on paying him more than I should. I'm gaining more in other players without him than the value of the contract he's seeking. There are contracts, CBA rules etc but there's also something called logical thinking. It makes more sense to ask Dmo to accept the offer or sit. This is a #WinWin. The Rockets are good, and thats not good in regards to leverage for Dmo. The Rockets also have the pieces to make a trade and improve without the need of including Dmo in a deal. Why? Cause other players have had some valuable minutes and have improved rapidly. Their confidence abd chemistry is through the roof and that is priceless. All thanks to Dmo.

Someone needs to start a Dmo appreciation thread and thank him for his sacrifice.

 

I guess that wouldn't be the end of the world. Nets wouldn't feel very comfortable about guaranteeing him after his date later this season though with that red flag out there.

 

Can I get an update on which court the ball is in?
